Billing Methods
Per Bid
A bid estimate can be provided if the parameters of the job are clear and concise and a work atmosphere that has been agreed upon has been granted. Flooring projects are easy to bid and most tile projects will bid easily as well. For small projects, half of bid price to start, half of payment upon completion. For large projects draws will be made from the overall cost of the project for similar amount of progress. For large projects the last 20% of payment will be billed at the overall completion and satisfaction of the homeowner.
Time and Material
Time and Material is the preferred method of billing. TIme, in hours, is charged with the cost of materials being used. This is the most flexible method of billing, changes in design are easier to figure and we have more ability to adapt to the needs of the project. If the homeowner provides material they will often times save money. If I buy the material I will mark it up 15%, it provides incentive for the homeowner to provide material and witness the cost of doing business.
