In 1991 i opened my 1st handyman business. that was my 1st complete bathroom remodal. In 1994 i opened my second business in Heilbronn germany where I learned the ropes of two speaks one idea..In germany I installed doors,floors, trim and a few kitchens too mostly just high end kitches with exotic trim one of my specailitys.. I never used a nail in five years or puddy. most al of my costomers where new builds for one builder I build as manager a 14 aptment complexe and 20 due-plex's.. everything was in geman so I still have problems with words but I get along good with the hutterites... I'm thier to please the costomer and give them what they want without over burding thier wallet.. I don't lie so I'm kind of blunt but worthy of any job.. I'll time it so you can time your life around my work. I'm very clean and it takes extra.

Most contractors do not charge for meetings, but it can depend on the project, mainly if it includes detailed consultations or project planning. For general estimates, homeowners shouldn't expect to be charged. Always ask up front about meeting fees to avoid surprises and ensure you know what’s included in the process.
Rates vary by task complexity and time, often providing cost-effective solutions for homeowners.
Whether a scullery is worth it depends on how much you like to cook and entertain. If you frequently host gatherings—a scullery is likely worth the money. If you’re looking for ROI, it’s not so clear. It may not add significant value to your home, as it doesn’t increase square footage and may repurpose space that a buyer would have preferred to remain as-is (like a laundry room).
