FAQ: How Do Your Prices Compare To Other Contractors?

Homeowners often ask how our prices compare to other contractors. The truth is, not all contractors operate the same way. We generally see three categories:

1. Category One: “Chuck in a Truck.”

  • A single individual with a business license, minimal bond, and insurance.
  • Handles everything—sales, installation, accounting, marketing, and repairs—leading to poor communication and scheduling.
  • If future repairs are needed, many aren’t around to answer the call.
  • Pricing: usually 40–50% less than our cost.

2. Category Two: Subcontractor-Based Contractors.

  • About 95% of contractors fall into this group.
  • Main focus is profits—they sell the work, then subcontract it out (sometimes multiple layers deep).
  • Reduced quality control, inconsistent crews, and risk for homeowners.
  • Pricing: typically 15–30% less than us.

3. Category Three: Full-Service Company (That’s Us).

  • We employ and train our own staff who care about quality, safety, and craftsmanship.
  • We provide dedicated management for communication, scheduling, and service.
  • We’re committed to being here long-term—answering your call for service years down the road.

In summary: Yes, we cost more than the first two categories—but our clients choose us because they want a contractor who delivers quality, communicates clearly, and stands behind the project for the long haul.
