How to Get a Free Digital Estimate (and Take Great Before Photos)
Our free estimates are done online. No sales visit, no waiting around for someone to show up and measure. You tell us about the job, we confirm you are in our service area, and then you send photos.
Step 1: Your contact info
Fill out the short estimate form with your name, phone, email and the job address. This lets us confirm we serve your area before you spend time on photos.
Step 2: Shoot your "before" pictures
Picture the finished job, then take the photo you would want as the before half of a before-and-after. Those photos are exactly what we need to price the work.
- Step back for one wide shot showing the whole wall, room or area
- Then a close-up of the damage or the part being replaced
- Turn on the lights and open the blinds. Skip the flash, it hides detail
- Hold the phone level from where you would stand to admire the finished work
- Put a tape measure in the frame for anything sized: doors, holes, cabinets
- Get the model label on fixtures and appliances when you can see it
Step 3: Your written estimate
You get a written estimate, usually within 24 hours. It is based on your photos and typical conditions for that kind of job. If something unexpected turns up once work begins, we stop, show you, and get your OK before any change in price.
Booking
To book, we keep a card on file and take a deposit to hold your date. The balance is due when the work is done. If you need to cancel, give us 24 hours' notice for a one-day job or 7 days' notice for a multi-day project.
