Every price, on one page.

These are typical flat prices for a standard job. Your own price comes in writing after I have seen photos, and it is the price you pay unless something behind the wall changes it — in which case you hear the new number before I carry on.

TERMSThe small print, in plain words. There is no other small print.

What the numbers assume

What a typical price assumes

Normal access, a fixture in the place it already lives, and nothing rotten or frozen behind it. That describes most jobs. When it does not describe yours, the written price says so before you agree to it.

What makes a job cost more

Shutoff valves that will not turn. A flange cracked under the old toilet. Tile where a stud should be. Second-floor work with a long carry. All of it is visible in a photo or in the first ten minutes, and all of it is priced before I go on.

What there is no charge for

Driving to you. Looking at the job. Telling you it is not worth doing, or that it needs a licensed trade instead. None of that appears on a bill.

How you pay

Zelle, a check made out to KASATKIN LLC, cash, or Venmo, once the work is done and you have seen it run. No cards. On a small job there is nothing to pay up front.

HOURLYWhen a flat price is not honest, the clock is.

Where the hourly rate applies

Two jobs out of fifteen are hourly rather than flat, and one of them is furniture assembly. The reason is simple: the time depends on the kit, not on me. A wardrobe with every part in the box goes up in two hours. The same wardrobe with one missing cam lock takes an afternoon and a trip to the shop.

Hourly work runs at $150 for the first hour and $100 for each hour after, counted from when I start work, not from when I leave home. If a job is going to run long I tell you at the hour mark, not at the end.

Everything else on the list is flat. You know the number before I arrive.

Your price, not a typical one

Send photos and get the real number in writing. It takes me a few minutes and costs you nothing.
