SERVICE MENU
Menu for common services (which we refer to as "dailies") is below. Bench rate is $60 per hour, with a one-hour minimum. Restoration jobs, major repairs and new builds ("projects") are performed and priced on a case by case basis. You will always be kept in the loop, and no additional work will be performed without your authorization. A 50% deposit for dailies is expected at drop-off. Payment arrangements for projects will be determined by the scope of the job.
