For a small, residential-focused business like Adamant Building & Carpentry, your pricing policy needs to reflect your 25 years of experience while remaining transparent and grounded. This builds trust and filters out “price shoppers” who might not value high-quality craftsmanship.
Here is a copy-paste ready Pricing Policy for your website:
Adamant Building & Carpentry: Pricing & Estimates Policy
At Adamant Building & Carpentry, we believe in honest communication and fair pricing. With 25 years of experience in the Raleigh area, we provide expert craftsmanship that is built to last. Our pricing reflects the quality of materials used, the precision of our labor, and our commitment to your home’s safety and integrity.
1. Transparent Estimates
We provide detailed, written estimates for all projects. Our estimates include a breakdown of:
-
Materials: High-quality lumber and hardware selected for the North Carolina climate.
-
Labor: Skilled craftsmanship backed by over two decades of professional experience.
-
Timeline: An anticipated start and completion date, weather permitting.
2. Service Call & Consultation Fees
-
Initial Consultations: We offer a brief initial phone consultation to discuss your project scope.
-
On-Site Estimates: For complex renovations or structural repairs, an on-site consultation fee may apply. This fee covers our time and travel to provide a professional assessment and is fully credited toward your project if you choose to move forward with us.
3. Handyman & Small Project Rates
For small repairs and general maintenance (jobs lasting less than a full day), we typically bill at a flat-rate minimum to ensure we can provide the same high level of care to small projects as we do to our large renovations.
4. Change Orders
In renovation and repair work, unforeseen issues (such as hidden wood rot or electrical non-compliance) may arise once a project begins. In these cases, we will issue a Change Order. No additional work will be performed or billed without your verbal or written approval.
5. Payment Terms
-
Deposits: A deposit (typically 30-50%) is required to secure your spot on our schedule and to purchase materials.
-
Progress Payments: For large-scale projects, we utilize a milestone-based payment schedule.
-
Final Payment: Due immediately upon completion of the project and your final walkthrough.
6. Membership Pricing
Clients enrolled in our Home Care Membership Plans receive fixed-rate discounts (5% to 15%) on all labor, as well as priority scheduling for emergency repairs.
Why We Price This Way
We are not the “budget” contractor, and we don’t aim to be. We are a small business dedicated to Residential Excellence. Our prices ensure that we never have to cut corners, and that the work we do on your home today will still be standing strong 25 years from now.
