Estimates:
Most estimates are provided at no charge.
Retainer Fund Accounts:
For clients wishing to work from a retainer account we set-up a no minimum balance checking account at a local bank and the client deposits 2 or more months of the agreed upon expected wage into said account. Retainer account must always have sufficient funding for services to continue uninterrupted. Each month as Abner’s Assistants withdraws the incurred payment, the client needs to deposit the next month’s wage balance. When the contract is completed or an account needs to be closed, any un-used capital balance remaining would be returned to the client. No interest would be paid to the client.
Mileage/Hourly Rate:
Abner’s Assistants typically charge an hourly rate per worker.
Clients with a work site more than 30 miles from Abner’s Assistants home base may be subjected to an additional travel charge for less than 1 hour of service.
