Who pulls permits and who does not

Jester Climate does not pull permits. Requirements vary by jurisdiction. Confirming the permit is on the owner or the general contractor. We are not a permitting authority.

Permit duty belongs in your exhibit with the owner or GC named. We are not that named party. Extra items an inspector requires get a quote before they are performed.

Sizing and variables on the site walk

A casita reads smaller than it loads. West glass and a hot attic push the size up. The size gets confirmed on site.

Indoor location, outdoor location, drain path, and electrical path are walked. If they match standard the $2,400 weekday number holds. If they do not, the difference is quoted before work begins.

Setting the date on the calendar

You pick the date. It gets confirmed. If anything changes you get told.

Call (512) 297-7493. Give the street in Austin or along the I-35 corridor. To set up repeat scheduling call the same number.

Using this page as the subcontract exhibit

Copy the line item, the included list, and the quoted list into your exhibit. Your client then sees the same scope you bid. Changes after the site walk are written quotes, not verbal extras on the day.

The indoor unit, outdoor unit, and interconnect will match the walk. Quoted items show as their own lines. Jester Climate is the sub. Service area is Austin and the I-35 corridor.

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 without a walk?
The $2,400 weekday figure is the standard single zone number. Call to schedule the site walk. Non standard findings are quoted before work begins.
Who is responsible for the permit?
You or the owner. We do not file the application. Look up the city or county rule for that lot.
Do you work weekends on casitas?
Yes. Weekend rate for a standard single zone mini split install is $2,600, materials and labor. You pick the date. It gets confirmed.
What if there is no circuit at the casita panel?
A new circuit from the panel is non standard. It is quoted before any work begins. Electrical whip at the outdoor unit is part of standard when the circuit is already there.
How do I schedule the next pool house the same way?
Call (512) 297-7493 to set up repeat scheduling. Nothing else is required for that request. Area is Austin and the I-35 corridor.
