What is a virtual video estimate?

A virtual video estimate is a convenient way to receive a preliminary quote for your handyman needs without requiring an in-person visit. Using a video call (like Google Meet), you can walk us through the areas where you need service, show us the project, and discuss your requirements in real-time, just as if we were there.

How does a virtual video estimate work?

1. Request a Virtual Estimate: You'll indicate your interest in a virtual estimate when filling out our contact form on our website.

2. Schedule Your Appointment: We'll contact you to schedule a convenient time for your virtual video call.

3. Receive a Google Meet Link: We'll send you a simple link to join the video call at the scheduled time.

4. The Virtual Walkthrough: During the call, you'll use your device's camera (smartphone, tablet, or computer with a webcam) to show us the areas needing attention and explain the work you'd like done.

5. Discuss Your Needs: We'll ask questions to understand the scope of the project, materials potentially needed, and any specific concerns you have.

6. Potential for Visual Documentation: To ensure we have a clear understanding of the work needed, we may need to take screenshots of specific areas during the video call or request that you send us pictures of the areas after the call. This helps us capture important details.

7. Receive Your Estimate: Based on the virtual assessment and any visual documentation provided, we will prepare and send you a detailed estimate for the services discussed.

What are the benefits of a virtual video estimate?

• A stable internet connection.

• The ability to walk us through the areas where you need service.

Is a virtual video estimate as accurate as an in-person estimate?

While we strive to make our virtual estimates as accurate as possible, they are preliminary. Complex projects or unforeseen issues that are not visible during the video call or in the provided images might affect the final price. However, the virtual estimate gives you a good understanding of the potential cost.

What if you need to see the project in person after the virtual estimate?

In some cases, after the virtual video estimate and review of any provided screenshots or pictures, our team might recommend an in-person visit for a more detailed assessment, especially for complex or intricate projects. We will always communicate this clearly with you.

No, our virtual video estimates are free of charge, just like our in-person estimates.
