Company Overview Our mission at C & A Home Remodeling is to accommodate our clients in remodeling, building, repairing, adding/removing and constructing/reconstructing their residential or commercial property. Our customer base can be private residence, business owners and companies and real estate agencies. C & A Home Remodeling does not have a red-zone. We are able to travel long distances in any direction. C & A Home Remodeling has many goals. Our first goal is to obtain an outside office, other than home, with a warehouse attached to store materials. Our second goal is to own real estate to rent to low income families and those in need. Our third goal is to provide a youth building, not only as a recreational center, but as an educational center where all children can learn, train and pick up a trait to help them be successful in the future. Our fourth goal is to branch out our portfolio and grow our business by opening other business such as an arcade, computer repair store and much more. Product Service Overview C & A Home Remodeling has an excellent cost advantage. Our company does the research for all costs for materials, permits, leasing equipment and any other factor the affects price. This allows our company to be flexible if costs go down. This benefits the clients in every way by ensuring that they receive the best deal possible. Most of our competitors keeps a flat rate and won’t change it. Our contract summary provides all the aspects of what the job entails. Starting with a brief summary of what the customer wants and what the job includes and consist of. Then moving on to materials involved with pricing, estimated completion date and payment schedule. Most competitors do not add the price of materials or include materials involved. We have a 90 day estimated completion date for unforeseen setbacks such as weather and delivery waits. Our goal is to finish the job as soon as possible and not linger on. Our policy is to go to the job site and make an evaluation first before we give a price. It is also free of charge to view. Most competitors will have a standard price depending on what needs to be done and size and most charge just to look. Our payment schedule is very simple. We ask for a down payment, which is worth the cost of materials. Then once completed the rest of the money is due. If it is a big project like rehabilitating a house or

building a house from the ground up, then the payment is broken up into 3 parts, the downpayment, 2cd payment is half the labor and the rest is the balance. This gives our clients a sense of security that our company will not take advantage, take all of the money, not do the job or do the job poorly. Our variety of services helps us expand our company, which brings a great investment. C & A Home Remodeling can perform from the smallest tasks such as patching up a hole in the wall, changing or installing outlets and replacing or installing sinks and toilets to performing tasks that require more than one day such as building/rebuilding a wall, repairing a sidewalk, repairing a roof and reconstructing a room. We always take before, during and after photos for training and accountability purposes. Photos show new clients what we have achieved, what we can do and our skills. Market Analysis C & A Home Remodeling will generate sales through word of mouth and putting our company out there.

C & A Home Remodeling likes to keep low costs and maintain our clients. This is why we prefer to advertise our company through places where it is free to advertise. We do not charge extra out of pocket expenses on our clients. Marketing and Sales Plan Pricing consist of 2 parts, materials and labor. Material prices are unstable because they change as much as the gas prices change. Depending on what the customer wants accomplished depends on the price. If the job is very small like patching up cracks on the wall and painting, then the customer saves on labor cost because it will only take about 3-5 days to finish. If the job is large like remodeling a kitchen, then between the price of materials and how long it will take to complete, it can be a little costly. C & A Home Remodeling hopes to make a difference in the community by giving out promotions. From 10%-50% off to buy one get one free. We understand that even though things need to get done one may not have funds to do so. Our budget mainly consists of 3-4 elements. Start up costs included Registration, office supplies, Materials, Tools and tax identification number. Reoccurring bills contain Insurance, business phones and vehicle gasoline. Reoccurring payments include paper, contracts, ink, business cards and stamps. Job costs consist of materials, permits, notary and leasing equipment such as cement trucks. Employees’ salary ranges by level. $8 an hour= $56 a day =$ 280 a week = $ 1120 a month $30 a day = $150 a week = $600 a month $60 a day = $300 a week =$1200 a month
