Work Supplies / Project Materials

WORK SUPPLIES

Rather than nickel & diming, a flat work supply fee is added to the estimate and invoice, specific to the type of work being performed.

 

This includes everything needed to complete the job – minus the work materials.

 

Examples of Work Supplies include:

  • Wood Repair – Proper wood screws, wood hardener, wood filler, sandpaper

  • Drywall – drywall mud, spackle, tape, patches

  • Painting – caulk, drop cloths, roller covers, brushes, clean up materials, tape

  • General materials - fasteners, adhesive, caulk, etc.

​

PROJECT MATERIALS

Materials are items purchased specifically for your job. The cost of these materials are not included in the estimate due to the variability in prices.

 

   Examples of Work Materials include:

  • Wood / PVC

  • Grout for tile repair or installation

  • Tile / Flooring

  • Drywall / Backing boards

  • Paint / stain

 

If I purchase work materials for you, I add 25% to the retail cost plus the time it takes to get them charged at my hourly rate. Unless you specifically tell me what you would like for me to purchase, or how much you are willing to spend, I will purchase the highest quality materials I can find.
