FAQ
How estimates and pricing work, typical timelines, permits, warranty and service area — in plain language. Anything not covered here, ask us directly.
There are no fixed prices on this site. Every job is priced as one written project quote for the agreed scope — never by the hour. What moves the price depends on the trade: the size of the job, the condition of what is already there, the materials and finish you choose, how much prep or repair is needed, and access. Each trade page has a “What drives cost” list for that trade, and your written quote is the price for your job.
Use the estimate form on the contact page — it asks for the trade, a short description, your budget range and timeline, then your contact details — or call (206) 550-4576, email Bill@seattlemasterfix.com, or book a consultation. Where it makes sense we visit the property and walk through the work with you. You receive a written estimate. Estimates are non-binding until a written contract is signed.
We review your request and follow up about next steps. That may be a phone call, a consultation, or a site visit and walkthrough where it makes sense. If the scope is agreed, you receive a written estimate, and work begins only after a written contract is signed.
Your written quote and contract set out the payment schedule, including any deposit. Work is priced per project, not by the hour.
Yes. Attach up to 5 photos to the estimate form (25 MB each). Photos help us understand the condition and scope before a visit. You can also email photos to Bill@seattlemasterfix.com and mention your name.
Typical timelines depend on the trade. Siding is typically 1–4 weeks, fencing 3–10 days, tile 3–14 days, laminate flooring 1–5 days, drywall 3–10 days including drying time between coats, and paint 2–7 days. Bathroom remodels and unit turns depend on the scope, the condition behind the walls, material lead times and any permit or inspection steps. Your written contract sets the actual schedule.
Where a permit is required for the work we perform, we prepare and submit the application and coordinate inspections, as set out in your written contract. We do not provide architectural or engineering services. If drawings or structural engineering are required, they are prepared by independent licensed professionals.
Tell us when you request an estimate. Older homes may contain lead-based paint, and older materials such as siding, flooring, joint compound and texture may contain asbestos. We will go over the lead-safety information required before work begins on a covered older home and discuss testing before disturbing suspect materials.
We offer a 1-year labor warranty. The details are in the signed contract for your job.
If conditions change once work starts, we tell you early. Changes to the scope are agreed in writing before the work changes.
We work in Seattle and King County, WA. Our home turf is Ballard, Greenwood, Ravenna and North Seattle — tell us your property address when you request an estimate, and your written quote confirms the service area for your job.
We will tell you what to clear or move before work starts, and what access we need. Tell us up front about keys or lockbox codes, parking, building rules, and anything in the work area that needs protecting.
Yes. We do unit turns, punch lists, and bulk or recurring repair work for property managers and general contractors. We walk the unit or site with you, agree a written scope, and schedule around access and building rules. See the Property managers page for the full list.
