Price Transparency

None of the locals have any pricing on their websites.  As a customer I hate searching for general pricing.  I'm considering posting my trip fee and pricing for some of the more common tasks a handyman would do. Tough to do for more custom jobs or problematic installs, but it seems that letting a customer know up front that replacing a basic ceiling fan is $99 labor may save them, and me, some time. Thoughts?

    I have thought about doing the same to weed out the "tire kickers" looking for the cheapest alternative.  That way, I think, I will be responding to qualified clients and won't spend time chasing jobs that don't want to pay for quality work.
