Pricing & How We Charge
Clear, fair pricing, based on the work involved, not guesswork
At Borders Task Busters, pricing is based on the time, equipment, materials, and responsibility involved in each job.
No two outdoor jobs are the same, so most work is priced by assessment rather than guesswork. This allows us to price fairly, do the job properly, and avoid cutting corners.
We’re always clear about costs before work starts — and if something changes, we discuss it first.
