Book the date from the bid number

Use $2,400 as the weekday plug in number for a standard single zone. Materials and labor sit in that figure. Use $2,600 if you have to take Saturday or Sunday.

Call (512) 297-7493 and pick the date. It gets confirmed. If anything changes you get told.

  • $2,400 weekday, materials and labor
  • $2,600 weekend
  • $400 materials deposit to book
  • Balance due on completion
  • Joker day listed on the home page
  • Non standard work quoted before work begins

How the day is held

A $400 materials deposit books the date. Balance is due on completion. The deposit is the hold.

Name the superintendent as the contact. Keep the date on your look ahead. If the drywall sequence moves, call (512) 297-7493.

If the site is not ready

Call (512) 297-7493 when the ADU will not take the equipment. Do not leave the crew to find a locked gate or missing power. The booked date needs a site that can take the work.

Cutting finished surfaces is non standard. Extra heads, pumps, and panel work are non standard. You get a number on those items before work begins.

Call before the drywall crew leaves

Penetration location, drain routing, and the circuit are confirmed at the site walk. Those are easier to set while the wall is still open. After the board is up, cutting finished surfaces is non standard and gets quoted before work begins.

A casita reads smaller than it loads. West glass and a hot attic push the size up. The size gets confirmed on site. Call while you can still coordinate the chase and the head location with the drywall crew.

Buy the day that fits the look ahead

Weekday sits at $2,400. The Saturday and Sunday figure is $2,600. Use the weekend rate when the drywall pull and the inspection window leave you no weekday.

One JOKER DAY each week is priced lower than the weekday rate. Which day it lands on changes week to week. It is revealed on the home page.

One line item, one number

Paste the line item into the estimate. The number is (512) 297-7493. Jobs sit on Austin and the I-35 corridor.

Walk the unit with the superintendent at the end. Check the head, condenser, drain, and disconnect. Do that before the client walkthrough.

How the money worksTwo payments, no surprises

$400 materials deposit books the date and buys the equipment for your job. Balance due on completion, on the visit the system runs.

$2,400 weekday. $2,600 Saturday or Sunday. One Joker day each week is priced under the weekday rate. The day moves week to week and it is shown on the home page, so if your schedule has slack you can aim at it.

Non standard work is quoted before any work begins. Nothing gets added to the number without you approving it first.

Questions builders ask
Can I put $2,400 in the bid today?
Yes for a standard single zone mini split, materials and labor on a weekday. Weekend pricing is $2,600. Size, routing, penetration, and circuit are confirmed at the site walk. Non standard work is quoted before any work begins.
What if the ADU is not ready on the booked date?
Call (512) 297-7493 and say the site cannot take the equipment. A locked gate or a wall still in framing is a site that is not ready. Finished walls are a quote item.
Do you pull the mechanical permit?
No. Requirements vary by jurisdiction. Confirming that is on the owner or the general contractor. Jester Climate is not a permitting authority.
How do I book a weekend instead of a weekday?
Ask for the weekend when you call (512) 297-7493. That day is $2,600. Put the $400 materials deposit on it to book. Pay the rest when the work is complete.
How do I line up the next casita?
Call (512) 297-7493 to set up repeat scheduling. Service area is Austin and the I-35 corridor. Use the same line item on the next estimate.
