Q&A

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

I believe I priced extremely fairly. That more more dangerous job is the higher the cost per hour would may have a fee. Everything will always be talked about before the job will start if I feel there is danger involved

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

Meet the new customer have a conversation find out what job needs to be done. Talk about what to expect from both sides. Provide them with the best service I possibly can.

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

Mom’s father was an engineer my grandpa, my dad’s father Papa he was a carpenter and worked with drywall and plaster. My father never paid for anyone to do any work around the house. We always did it ourselves. Work construction in New York own landscaping business called Lawn order. Mother was an advert. Gardner learned much stuff from Mrs. O’Leary and her husband who are both botanists at a very young age. Lived in Hood River had medical patients for OMMP some of my surplus, “super silver haze” with some of the first outdoor ever provided in a medical dispensary in that area.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I’ve been doing this type of work for as long as I can remember. Learn how to build and fix from my father when I was very young. My mother is an avid gardener and in many different garden clubs where I used to help many of the ladies one of my first jobs and just middle school I worked for a botanist. The stuff just comes natural to me now seems as though it’s in my DNA.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I’ve worked with all many different customers. I used to do this stuff on the East Coast where many people are a lot more cut and dry and will absolutely tell you like it is I’ve worked with some of the nicest people I’ve worked with lots of elderly people whom I understand. I’ve worked very hard their whole lives and deserve a break. That being said everybody deserves a break if they really need it.

Currently building sheds first Shed is a donation to a needy, family, or individual kind of a contest, but more of a gift to someone who deserves it

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

To look on apps like the next-door to see if the business is there and see what their neighbors say

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

The questions every customer should consider is how long the project is going to take and how much materials it’s gonna take and always know. Sometimes things can go quicker and sometimes things can take longer, but your professional should always communicate with you. What’s going on?
