Pricing

This is a general overview of my pricing system to allow you to get an idea of what a price might be. The minimum price for any job is $45. Multiple small (or similar) jobs done at the same time get a discount.

Not everything I do is listed below. If what you want done isn't listed, just call me at (613) 924-2664.

With many of the big companies out there, the business owner does little or none of the actual work, which is normal because their job is to get the jobs and run the business, but I decided to do home renovations part-time alongside my main business because my main business involves sitting at my computer all day, and I need to get a little exercise. This means lower prices because I don't have to pay out as much to other workers.
