Pricing FAQ

What people ask about how we price.

The $115/hr rate covers labor, basic supplies (caulk, painter's tape, common screws and anchors, drywall mud, fasteners), tools, and trip time inside Fort Worth and the inner Tarrant County suburbs. Specific materials — paint colors, replacement fixtures, particular door hardware, trim profiles — are listed separately on the estimate at cost.
If your list is under 4 hours of total work, hourly is cheaper. The break-even is right at 4 hours: $115 × 4 = $460, while the 4-hour block is $420 (effective $105/hr). Below 4 hours, hourly wins; at 4+ hours, the block wins.
The labor rates ($115/hr, $420 4-hour, $760 8-hour, $150 minimum) are firm. The job-specific ranges in the service pages (e.g., "Drywall repair $150–$760") are typical ranges — the written estimate is the firm number for your specific job, and the final invoice matches it unless scope changes mid-job (which we always talk through before continuing).
Inside Fort Worth and inner Tarrant County (Arlington, Keller, Southlake, Colleyville, the HEB cluster, and similar), no separate travel charge. For outer suburbs (Mansfield, Burleson, Trophy Club, Azle, and similar), there may be a small drive-time line item on the estimate. It's always shown up front so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
For most jobs under $1,500, no deposit — we invoice on completion. For jobs over $1,500 (whole-floor paint, kitchen cabinet refresh, multi-day deck work) we typically take a 30% deposit at scheduling and the balance on completion. The deposit policy is on every estimate that triggers it.
