What to have ready before you call

Have the city, a few photos of the room or exterior, what is failing now, what you want changed, preferred timing, and any known water, structure, or permit issues.

Mike uses those details to decide if the project fits, then schedules a walkthrough and writes the estimate.

If another trade is a better first call

A good fit has a clear residential remodeling purpose, enough site information to inspect the existing conditions, and a path to a written agreement before work starts. If the job is better handled by a specialty trade or emergency service, Mike will tell you early so you do not waste time.
