Yes, at Point Vertex Construction, we do full kitchen and bath renovations and other big jobs for property owners in the Bay area.
When you’re doing this, it’s important to have all of the right elements in place, from licensing and insurance to an excellent customer service mindset.
But today, let’s also talk about some of the other types of projects that we do for customers.
Small Projects and Demand
In the contracting world, there’s a high degree of demand for small projects. Suppose, for instance, someone wants to repair a couple of steps in a stairway or put in a small handrail somewhere. Suppose someone wants to change or replace a vanity, but not redo an entire room.
You might think this type of job would be easy to schedule and accomplish. But in reality, it’s not always that way. In fact, trying to get small projects done can be just as hard or harder than getting renovations accomplished.
Willingness
What too many customers find when they pick up the phone is that a lot of firms operate with a kind of “scavenger” mindset.
They want to pick and choose the jobs that will net them the most money, in order to optimize their time scheduling. As a result, they turn down these smaller jobs, because they’re not as lucrative. But then what is the customer supposed to do?
Getting a small project done requires getting a firm that understands the value of long-term relationships. Otherwise the customer may be in for an unpleasant process.
Responsiveness
The best contractors work on the principle of excellent communications.
That means they understand that while they might be doing a small job today, they’ll be in touch with a property owner to maintain a relationship over time. As they go about completing small and large projects together, both parties benefit. A one-off small job might be a losing proposition for a contractor, but a long-term relationship is usually a good thing.
Dedication
When contractors do the work to get the small jobs done on time, they are often rewarded with larger jobs in the future. That’s the principle in a nutshell.
By taking on a wider range of jobs, we become more of a resource for our customers. That is, to us, an important part of what we do. It’s important to our customers as well. We feel like this is business 101, but we see a lot of firms doing the opposite, and just trying to get the big money jobs, leaving everyone else, even those with significant money to spend, high and dry.
