Here’s how you can get ahold of me, plus info about my service area and availability. Looksee visits for pricing writeups are free. And I work with headphones on, so it’s always easy for me to offer free advice anytime during working hours even if you’re not in my service area.
However keep in mind that I’m a solo one person operation. You can help save time for both of us by taking just a minute to read the rest of this page before cold calling (which will go straight to a voicemail spam box).
EMAIL: art.fricke@gmail.com
An email to “artfricke@gmail.com” will always get you a reply within 24hrs. It’s also the best way to easily get me on the phone if we haven’t talked before. You can simply email me with a specific day and time (literally any non-holiday weekday any time between 9am and 5pm) and the most convenient phone number for me to call you at.
Again, I work with headphones on so it’s super easy for me to simply whip out the phone, open your email and tap your number, and then chat for however long ya like while I continue laying tile.
Please don’t email with a vague range of possible times, days, etc. That’ll just waste both our time with more back and forth. Simply pick a specific day (m-f) and a specific time (9a-5p) for me to call you, and be sure to include your phone number. Easy peasy!
PHONE: 512. 806. 4455 (workdays 9a-5p)
Incoming calls go straight to voicemail if we haven’t already spoken before (thanks robocallers). And my voicemail gets absolutely slammed with robocall spam. That’s why email is the best initial way to get me for a phone chat if we haven’t talked previously.
And please don’t text. I’m a GenX person, with real fat thumbs. Simply talking is best.
SERVICE AREA: Just about anywhere within ~15mi of the 78723 zip code.
This covers the entire Austin metro area including communities to the south like Sunset Valley and to the east like Del Valle. It also includes some exerb towns like Manor, Pflugerville, and the wonderfully named Jollyville.
This does not include exerb towns far to the south or west like Buda, Bear Creek, Bee Caves, Cedar Valley, Lakeway, Driping Springs, Marble Falls, etc. Also doesn’t include current TxDOT driving nightmares to the north like Hutto, Georgetown, Leander, Liberty Hill (wow for most TX name ever), etc. Nothing personal, just hafta draw the commuting time line somewhere.
SCHEDULING: I’m not a traditional reno contractor. I am a solo pro who works on just one job at a time. I’m therefore only occasionally available for emergencies or projects needing to start immediately. I am usually booked out several months in advance on a rolling basis.
So, if you’re just now finalizing a design and beginning to choose the finish materials for a renovation project that you are hoping to get started in a couple months, then that’s a perfect time to email for a phone chat. We can then schedule a day/time convenient to you for a no cost looksee visit and detailed pricing writeup!
