How our Ready To Work Booking Works

May 4, 2021

Updated: Oct 10


If you already know the type of work you need, and it seems that the work will take less than three days and according to your own estimate (we will confirm this later) should cost less than $3,000 in labor, this is the right appointment for you.


Pick a day, give us the details of the work that you need and the right professional will be there at the selected date and time to work on the problem for you.


Most of our current clients that already know how we work choose this option.


Here you can watch a video explaining details of how it works. Browse our site for more specific information as per policies and rates.

When this is the right path

This option exists for the jobs that do not need a conversation about scope, because you already know what needs doing.

It fits when all of these are true:

  • You can describe the work specifically, not as a problem to be diagnosed

  • It is defined, rather than open-ended

  • It does not require a permit

  • It does not depend on what is found once something is opened

  • Nothing structural is involved

Repairs, installations, replacements of like for like, punch lists, and the accumulated small things that never get done are exactly what this is for.

When it is the wrong path, and we will tell you

Some work looks small and is not, and sending a technician to a job that turns out to need a permit helps nobody.

  • Anything where water damage is visible, because the visible part is rarely the whole part

  • Anything structural, including removing or altering a wall

  • Gas work, and most electrical beyond a like-for-like replacement

  • Anything on an elevated deck or balcony, which is inspected work in California

  • Anything a city has already written to you about

If you book this and the work turns out to be in that list, we will tell you on arrival rather than proceeding. That is the less profitable answer and it is the correct one.

How to make the visit productive

  1. Describe the work in the booking as specifically as you can. Model numbers, dimensions, photographs

  2. Say what you have already tried, if anything

  3. Make sure the area is accessible. Time spent moving furniture is time not spent working

  4. Decide in advance who is authorizing changes if something unexpected turns up

  5. If materials are being supplied by you, have them on site

The most common cause of a short visit accomplishing less than it should is access. The second is a part that was not on site.

If you are not sure which path you need

Use the free call. Fifteen minutes usually settles whether your job fits this booking, needs a site visit, or is something else entirely: our 15-minute free consultation.

And if the work turns out to be larger or multi-trade, the path is the assessment rather than this: how our paid assessment works.

For anything that is part of a bigger plan, the order the work happens in matters more than any single booking: planning a backyard in Riverside County.

Call (323) 707-4979 to book the free 15-minute consultation if you want to confirm first.
