No, I’m actually being very serious. I’m self-employed and started my business 2 years ago from scratch with nobody to ask advice from. Everything I do is based on my own judgement, not on a “this is how others do it too” mindset - including my pricing. That’s why I’m asking; I’m curious to hear about people’s expectations. I don’t have any peers to compare my practices to, so I’m only relying on customer feedback. Close to half of them have called me back to do another job, so I guess I’m at least doing something right. I just want to make it a win-win situation as much as possible. I know from personal experience what a nightmare it can be to try and find a quality contractor, so that’s the niche I’m trying to fill.
