Remodeling Estimates by Handyman in Atlanta

HandyMan Atlanta provides Remodeling Estimates for each of our services in Fulton County and Dekalb County . We prefer to call them proposals though. An estimate is to calculate approximately, whereas a proposal is a plan that is proposed. We like to give a fixed price proposal. This is best for the customer or in our case client. When we first come out to look at the project we will try to give you a budget range just to give you an idea of what we think the project may run, this is an estimate. We don�t give remodeling estimates and ask you to sign the bottom of it. If you do this you could be inviting yourself to some extra charges as the project progresses. The contractor can always say, �it was just an estimate�.

Remodeling estimates should always be a fixed price proposal. Some contractors like to do work under what they call cost plus. They take their cost and then mark it up with a percentage to you. The problem with that is they have no desire to keep the cost down. The more the cost the more they make. You have no way of knowing what the true cost is, only what they say it is. Even from a contractors� point of view �cost plus� is a bad idea. If I make a mistake and a lumber order gets charged to the Smiths project instead of the Jones project, not only did I not get paid for it I didn�t make any money on it. And believe me when one project can have 1000 different items on it invoices get messed up
all the time. We usually find them if that happens, but in my business it just skews the results of a certain project until I get it straight. If its cost plus and I find it 3 months later are you going to be happy about that? I don�t think so. So, when getting remodeling estimates if someone tells you they do it on a �cost-plus� basis, run as fast as you can.

About Atlanta : Atlanta was founded in 1837 as the end of the Western and Atlantic railroad line (it was first named Marthasville in honor of the then-governor's daughter, nicknamed Terminus for its rail location, and then changed soon after to Atlanta , the feminine of Atlantic -- as in the railroad).� Today the fast-growing city remains a transportation hub, not just for the country but also for the world: Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport is one of the nation's busiest in daily passenger flights.� Direct flights to Europe, South America, and Asia have made metro Atlanta easily accessible to the more than 1,000 international businesses that operate here and the more than 50 countries that have representation in the city through consulates, trade offices, and chambers of commerce.� The city has emerged as a banking center and is the world headquarters for 13 Fortune 500 companies.

So when looking for Remodeling estimates in all Atlanta remember, what you really want is a Remodeling proposal.
