Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Prices can be discussed and negotiated once we are able to view the job and scope of work in person.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

We discuss how client will pay cash card or other platforms and we don’t excpect payment till job is done new customers will have e to cover the cost of materials for the first jobs

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

15+ years building custom homes and 5+ years of running Stl Handymate successfully.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

Started by raising and relocating house off the beaches of the outer banks n.c. From there I got into building homes and now we are here.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I’ve worked with a range of different customers from contractors, investors, hedge funds, to your average home owner and small business owners.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Had a customer recently buy a new rivian electric truck once he got it home he realized it was longer than his garage. So I lengthened his garage by 6ft added a side door and extra bracing for extra storage in his garage rafters at the end of the job it turned out great.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Get a few different bids go with the most straight forward one that is a little ruff around the edges stay away from the pretty boy polo wearing salesman no real tradesman is that pretty boy YouTuber you love we work hard jobs which usually takes the ability to bs with you and try to give you a sales pitch if he has soft hands and a fast tongue leave him alone he’s can’t swing a hammer.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

All the details they can think of colors trim materials they want to use time frame want it done in and budget and just be aware the budget and timeframe almost always change once you can come to terms with that you’ll sleep much easier at night shit happens on construction jobs not everything is foreseeable.
