Of course! We are happy to walk through the options with you and help you choose what will be best for your situation. While we know we may not be the right choice for everyone, we promise complete transparency with you about cost.
We do have an active training program, where people for whom barriers typically exist to get into this industry can join our team as apprentices and learn under the careful instruction of our team. For certain projects, we offer a lowered 'training rate' where our apprentices will do the work to get some on-site experience. They are, of course, carefully supervised by our lead contractor. Let us know if you have a project you'd like them to work on!
It has been a dream of the SCCI founder, Lindsay, to have a program where women and LGBTQ+ people can gain the knowledge and experience to work in this industry. Typically, it can be very difficult for those from these demographics to get into the home improvement industry. When they do they often face misogyny, bigotry, or other mistreatment. She Can Caulk It is, first and foremost, a home improvement company, but we are also a safe space for people to gain entry into this industry.
Our training program has 5 levels, starting with a (paid) apprenticeship for those who have little to no knowledge about home improvement. They are tasked with learning, through modules and on-site, hands-off, teaching. As they gain knowledge and skills, they move through the levels until they are okayed to handle just about any project that we take on. In the more beginning stages, we offer a reduced rate to our customers to allow for our apprentices to learn on-site while being supervised by our lead contractor. If you have a project in mind that you believe would be a good fit, reach out!
We take pride in our work. If there is an issue, please let us know right away! Once we agree on pricing, both parties sign a contract - which includes a warranty on our work. Should something go wrong within the warranty, we will fix it free of charge! If the warranty has expired, we are still happy to make a return visit.
We maintain a standard of communication with you when we are working on your home. If something happens to go wrong while we are there, we will let you know immediately, and work with you to figure out the best solution for you.
Your home, your rules! If you need us to load out all of our materials every evening, we will do that. If you want the materials contained to one room, we can do that too! Just let us know what you'd prefer and we can make it happen.
We don't judge! A lot of projects can make a mess, so don't worry about your home being spotless. There are some projects, like painting a room or doing a closet makeover, that are easier if the space is cleaned out. However, if that will prove a headache for you, let us know and we will see what we can do for you.
You don't have to do anything! If you want to move the shampoo bottles, etc., out of the shower, you are welcome to. However, our team expects to move items to ensure everything stays clean, so that time is built into the estimate.
For re-caulking, we do ask that the surfaces be very dry so that the caulk can adhere properly. If you are concerned, reach out!
This is entirely up to you! While our team will be hard at work getting your project done, we can absolutely adjust to the amount of communication you would like to have with us. At the very least, you will hear from the team leader when there are decisions to be made and for updates on the timeline. If you're going to be staying elsewhere while the project is going on, and would like daily updates, we can make that happen!
You can expect that your dog will receive lots of love and admiration from our team. Just let us know ahead of time so that we can plan our materials and any protection accordingly!
