The questions we get asked most, answered straight. If yours is not here, call Amanda and ask her.
Below are the 11 questions we get asked most. If yours is not here, call Amanda and she will answer it, or read the longer answers in our guides.
General
Does the owner actually do the work?
Yes. Kevin is on every job. His son Lil Kevin works alongside him, and the person who prices your project is the person who builds it. There is no sales rep handing your job to a crew you have never met.
How big is your crew?
Three of us, and that is the whole company. Kevin and his son Lil Kevin are the two on site, and Amanda handles every call and inquiry. The two of them get through what a crew of four would.
Can you install cabinets I already bought myself?
Yes, and that is a lot of what Kevin does. If you have picked cabinets out at a store and just need them fitted, he installs them. If they arrived flat pack and still need assembling, he does that too. And if nothing off a shelf fits the space, he builds them from scratch. Three different jobs, three different prices, so tell us which one you are asking about when you call.
Do you work on commercial buildings?
No, Lumber Lunatics works on homes rather than commercial buildings.
Pricing
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes. Kevin comes out and looks at the job with you and talks through the options. He does not price it on the spot, because materials and labor have to be worked out properly, so the detailed estimate comes to you afterwards. There is no charge and no obligation.
What payment methods do you accept?
Cash, check, zelle, and credit cards.
Trust
Is there a warranty on your work?
Yes. We provide a workmanship warranty on every project, with the specific terms spelled out in your written proposal before the work begins.
Do you handle plumbing and electrical work?
If your project needs major plumbing or electrical work, Kevin will tell you so and recommend you bring in a licensed plumber or electrician. He is not licensed for that work and he is not going to pretend otherwise. You will hear that at the estimate, not halfway through the job.
Are you insured?
Yes, Lumber Lunatics is insured on every project.
How far out are you booking?
Scheduling varies based on the scope of your project and our current workload. We will provide our current availability when we discuss your project.
Service Area
What areas do you serve?
Tallahassee and the surrounding Big Bend area, roughly an hour out. That includes Crawfordville, Quincy, Havana, Monticello, Midway, Blountstown, and Sneads. If you are near the edge of that, just ask.
Still have a question?
Call and ask Amanda. Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:30pm, and you get a person rather than a phone tree.
