New Customer Specials

Candels loves new customers! Want to try our services out on a job you already have or one that you estimated yourself? Just let us know when you call and we will give you our special “try before you buy” rate! Many new customers find it helpful to compare our take-offs to their own. In most cases, customers find that our level of detail is unparalleled.

Advantage 1: The Candels team cares!

Candels has a vested interest in our customers’ success. We are always looking out for you; even if that means talking you out of bidding a job! Some jobs are just too risky to undertake and we would rather talk you out of a project than see you have problems due to insufficient documentation or scheduling constraints.

Advantage 2: Candels delivers value!

Candels offers a variety of services beyond take-offs. When Candels works on a project for you, we become a member of your team! We mentor when needed, and can assist in bid strategy, vendor negotiation, bid pricing, training, and so much more!

Advantage 3: Quick Turn Around

Candels has the staff to turn your projects around quickly and accurately! Having this staff enables us to complete even the largest of projects within your time frame. Most often, it is more cost effective to sub your estimating out to Candels, so your staff can focus on current projects.

Advantage 4: Real People

The Candels team is full of real people. We aren’t a faceless corporate machine or a one-man band. We are a team of real people ready to help you with all of your estimating needs. We’re here to help!
