What you said about looking professional on the job and being prepared is linked to my rates, the time spent thinking through the job and all it will require are billable hours.
Hi Karen I would start local and reach out to the contractors that do the work you want to do and see if you can tag along or get an entry level job with them to gain experience.
I disagree about the whole signed contract thing. I have worked for hundreds of clients as a self employed mason and NEVER had legal/project issues, nor have I been asked for a contract. My friends who have large scale contracting companies get into legal issues all the time despite using fancy contracts full of legal jargon. My opinion; Just avoid working for terrible people, break your jobs into smaller individual projects and always over communicate. Beyond that, the estimate/bid/proposal should be enough. Maybe I'm wrong and have to eat my words someday... Just saying I've never needed legally-binding written contracts for the piddly little projects I do. 😂
All good content. I will point out that you should make sure you're dealing with the homeowner. For example, it's not uncommon for a single guy to have a living girlfriend and she's called you up to do all this work and she has no Authority commission you for work only the homeowner does so I checked tax rolls and make sure I'm dealing with the actual owner of the property. Very important!
