Quality work cheap. I am surprised you do not have people pounding on your door. Insurance?
Beware if you are charging, you are a business and liable for damages. Insurance, often asked. Paying for insurance means you have a company accepting the risk or part of it.
No insurance does not mean no risk. It means self insured. Damage caused and the customer will go after YOUR assets.
