We are no longer taking work.
First off, I would like to personally thank everyone who has entrusted us over the years with work we have done for them. It was a pleasure working with you.
Rising material and overhead costs with shrinking realistic budgets has left us pricing jobs but not receiving them. I’m going to jump up on my soapbox box for a minute and it may hurt some feelings but I feel the need to educate some people on custom vs. box store for the rest of the remaining builders out there.
Over the last year and half I’ve been asked to “beat a price” from the big box stores a countless number of times. I know it’s economy related but what those people are failing to see is the level of customer service, warranty, and customization that a custom builder offers over a box store. It’s not an apples to apple comparison. Also, another trend I’ve seen is people assuming a quote is negotiable. Yes we can adjust the price by cutting certain options out to get it to your budget but we aren’t gauging, just simply trying to keep the business in the clear. Go to the box store, get your design done and ask them if they’ll do it for less. This trend of small businesses should be able to beat the box store on price is ridiculous. Everyone wants the best deal but sometimes the best deal isn’t the lowest price, it’s made up for in craftsmanship, the builder taking pride in a job and making sure the client is happy with the end result. With that, I wish everyone luck on their future endeavors and I may post on here from time to time as I get to the ever expanding “honey do” list, eventually. Take care!
