I started with a used van and my father's tools. It is still one truck, because I want to be the one who shows up.
Every job starts with a look and a written price. I pull the permit when the county wants one and I show you the inspection.
I do not sell what you do not need. If a repair beats a replacement, I say so, and I put it in writing too.
You get a text when I am on the way, with the arrival time.
The price is in writing before the work starts, and it does not change unless the job does.
