The visit to look is free, and you'll have a firm price before any work starts. - Call (615) 426-9344 (Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.) - Text (615) 426-9344 - Email: info@roothousemechanicals.com ## How is a job priced? We price each job on its own, based on what it actually takes. Tell us what's going on by call or text, and we'll come look. That diagnostic visit is free. We find the cause, explain it in plain words, and give you a firm price before any work starts. If there's more than one way to fix it, we'll give you the price of each so you can compare them. Then it's your call. ## How do you keep prices down? Two ways: low overhead, and no callbacks. We keep our overhead low, so less of your price goes to running the company. A callback is a second trip to fix work that wasn't done right the first time, and someone pays for those trips. We'd rather do the job right once, with current methods, good equipment and quality materials, so you're not paying for us to come back. ## What goes into the price? No two jobs are quite the same. These are the things that move the price: - What the job needs: a repair, a replacement or a new install - The equipment and materials you choose - How easy the work is to reach. An open garage is simpler than a tight attic or crawl space. - Permits and inspections your city or county requires - For new construction and renovations, the plans, the scope and the schedule ## Pricing at a glance - The diagnostic visit: free. - Firm price given before any work starts. - Priced per job. Each job is priced on its own. - Why prices stay down: low overhead, and the work done right the first time with current methods, equipment and quality materials, so customers are not paying for callbacks. ## Ways to pay We take cash, check, credit and debit cards, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay, Venmo and Cash App. If there's an issue with our work, we'll come back and fix it for free. We give a 5-year limited warranty on parts and labor for all the work we do, in every trade. On new construction, the 5 years start when our work passes final inspection. It covers the customer we did the work for and ends if the property is sold. For items you buy yourself, we warrant our installation, not the item. Damage our work causes to floors, walls or belongings is handled through our liability insurance. ## Pricing questions ### Is the diagnostic visit really free? Yes. We come look, find the cause and explain it, and the visit costs you nothing. If you decide not to go ahead with the work, you don't owe us anything. ### What does a firm price mean? It means you get the price for the job before we start, not after. You decide with real numbers in hand, and nothing starts until you say so. ### How do estimates work for new construction and renovations? Email plans or a scope to info@roothousemechanicals.com, or call (615) 426-9344 and walk us through the project. We'll look at the plans or the site, and you'll have a firm price before any work starts. ### Why don't you list prices on the website? Because every job is priced on its own. Two water heater replacements can differ a lot depending on the heater, where it sits and what the job needs. A free visit and a firm price tell you more than a price list could. ### What payment methods do you accept? Cash, check, credit and debit cards, ACH bank transfer, Apple Pay, Venmo and Cash App. ## Work that holds. Want a firm price?
