Service Fee Structure

My services are very wide ranging:  From Architectural Design and Structural Assessment, to Carpentry, Plumbing & Electrical Work, to Appliance Repair and A/V Installation, to Landscape Design and Tree Pruning, and so much more!

I charge for my work based on the kind of work that I am providing.  To stay competitive, I charge less per-hour for simpler work, and more for highly skilled or difficult work.
