OUR WAY
PB & J Houseworks may not operate the way you have seen on television or heard through the grapevine. Our background comes from a customer focused, safety concerned point of view. You will see we embody these ideals through our actions.

This picture shows a project of ours in the demolition phase. It’s the end of a normal working day. The floors are clear of debris and tools. There are no hazardous situations along the opened wall cavities, e.g., protruding mails, bare electrical wires. The area is well lit and dust control has helped limit the spread of dirt and debris to the construction area only.
Being customer focused with high quality does not mean a contractor delivers high-end, expensive solutions. It means the contractor delivers exceptional attention to detail while delivering the agreed design to the agreed specifications. For example, hand sketches and scaled layouts may meet our needs. Our we may need to partner with an architect and engineer to provide the refined design and added structural integrity we desire.

One of the most noted issues clients relate about their contractors is missing the project completion date.  Satisfaction in the area of project timelines is something that starts during the initial scoping of the project and carries through the completion of the project.

Establishing a timeline using a Gantt chart, like the one we used here, provides a documented basis for establishing a project baseline and a means to track progress against milestones and major completion of tasks.

Lastly, we’d like to show you an example of our cost estimation summary page. You can see major areas of work have both material and labor components broken out. Linked spreadsheets are used to generate a bottoms-up, detailed build of expected costs and budgeted items. All of our estimation work is shared with the customer. Our clients know there are no hidden costs, padded budgets, or elevated labor charges because these data are always available for audit and review.  Cost, quality and delivery:  you can have it all.
