Fine, but can you help me with <insert unusual request here>?
Ummm … Maybe!
If you’re wondering whether I can help you with your project but aren’t sure if it falls within my gambit or within the gambit of some other unknown entity, please inquire. If I can help you out I’ll let you know and we can discuss it further. If it would best be dealt with by the other as yet unknown entity, I’ll try to help point you in the right direction. Either way, please contact me to discuss.
While many of the tasks routinely undertaken in the home improvement setting are relatively straightforward, often there are particular challenges that must be recognized and addressed in order to achieve the best possible result. My quiver is pretty full of creative solutions to help get you to that best possible result. Whatever challenges you’re facing with your project, I’m always happy to review them with you and to help to find the best possible solution – straightforward or a little oddball.
