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.
