What a free in-person quote covers

Worker with a shovel beside a mini excavator, grading along the side of a house

The short answer

A free in-person quote means the builder comes to your house, looks at the job, measures, talks through materials with you and gives you one price for the whole job. At Hulsey Construction, Justin or Jacob comes out the same day you call or the next, and the person who quotes the job is the person who builds it.

Who comes out to quote the job?

Hulsey Construction is family-run and owner-operated. Justin Hulsey or his son Jacob comes out, and they are the ones who do the work with our own crew. There is no salesman and no hand-off. One of our customers put it this way.

Real local family business. Honest and Great work on my deck repair. Over and above what was expected. Nice to call and have the people that do the work to give you the price.

What happens at the visit?

  1. 01

    We walk the job

    The roof, the deck, the room or the spot in the yard where the new work goes.

  2. 02

    We measure

    Size is one of the biggest things that sets the number, so we measure it ourselves.

  3. 03

    We talk materials

    Shingle or metal on an outbuilding, wood or composite on a deck, and what you want it to look like.

  4. 04

    You ask questions

    Anything you want to know, answered by the person who will do the work.

Most visits take less time than you would think. We would rather spend it on your questions than on a sales pitch.

What should you have ready?

Good to have ready

  • Your questions, written down so none get missed
  • Your insurance claim paperwork, if a storm did the damage
  • A rough idea of when you would like it done

What changes the number?

What changesWhy it matters
