Request an estimate in Nampa

What happens after you get in touch

Whichever way the enquiry arrives — the form, a call to (208) 353-5534, a text or an email — it reaches Clete rather than a call centre or a sales team. He reads it, and if anything is unclear he will ring and ask rather than guess at the scope.

The next step is almost always a site visit. Usually out to look at it within 5–7 days, and work usually starts inside the month after that. Both of those are normal working figures rather than a promise dressed up as one: construction schedules move, and if yours is going to move you will be told which week rather than left to wonder.

What to have ready

• Roughly what the work is — a list is fine, and it is often more useful than a single tidy description.
• Where in the valley the property is.
• Whether there is a date it needs to be done by, and whether that date is firm or preferred.
• A budget figure if you have one. It is not a negotiating position — BelAir routinely works to a real budget using reclaimed or alternative materials, and that only works if the number is on the table early.
• Photographs, if you have any. They save a trip.

What we will not do over the phone

Give you a price. Not because it is a secret, but because a number quoted before anybody has seen the job is a number that changes later, and that is exactly the experience people complain about with contractors. Estimates come after a look at the actual work.

If the project turns out to need a specific licensed trade rather than a general contractor, you will be told that too, rather than sold something. There is more on how estimates, scheduling and payment work, and a list of the towns covered if you are not sure whether you fall inside the 45-mile radius. Current and local references are available on request.
