Larlin's Home Improvement

Establishing A Budget is very important so that we can help steer you towards products & services that will allow you to stay within it. Just like houses, custom remodels come in all shapes and sizes, so it is important to know approximately how much you want to invest before you start.

We also offer a unique pricing method that happily separates us from most of our competitors.Details are as follows.......

Our labor estimate is devised of a range(or budget, if you will).A "no more than" price and a "no less than" price.

This budget/range system allows for flexibility for the customer/craftsman combined

If you were quoted one price, the scenario could go like this:

1) Contractor realizes, after working there a while, that his price quoted is too low and he's losing money-he has to bail out in middle of job.

2) If price quoted was again too low-he may ask for additional money.

3) Another way to recoup his losses is to cut corners on your project to remain profitable.

4) Or finally, he may finish the project as agreed and go out of business if he continues to quote such low prices as he had with you!

I don't think you wish he does that either. So, let's use a more suitable and fair way of pricing the project....."Larlin's price ranging system". Once an agreement is reached on high and low numbers, it's the responsibility of both parties to stay within these budget numbers.That's most fair. It also allows for project changes without having an ugly discussion over money.Pretty Neat! DON'T YOU AGREE?.

We make zero profit on materials used and therefore, do not include cost of materials in our labor portion of the estimates.

We do, however, inform you of your material cost separately, for your budgeting needs.

We don't like to combine materials with labor because it confuses or complicates your decision making process.

Besides, this is your house and you should have control over what materials are used. Don't you agree? Do you want the $90 toilet or the $900 toilet? Your choice, your control!
