FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My price scale is simple. We sit down and discuss your project. I price all the material costs after finding discounts all over town. I add a baseline cost for transportation (depending on your distance from me). I add any fees for rental of machinery that I cannot provide. I give you a completed breakdown of every fee with my hours of labor estimated as well as any suggested purchases. We negotiate budget for anything additional.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was trained in re-hab of homes while I worked with a "Women's build" team with Habitat For Humanity. I had been refurnishing furniture and other pieces all of my life, and had always enjoyed helping others improve their pieces or their homes. I began refinishing hardwood floors in my own home, as well as all the tile work. I am an artist myself, so I loved bringing a photograph or a painting into someone's new space and helping them rearrange everything to suit the design they liked. After years of this, I trained with designers and secured relationships and discounts with artists and suppliers. Now I am extending this help to my local community. Beautiful spaces do not have to break the bank. I also stage spaces for showings.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I bring fresh ideas, upcycled pieces and creative energy into redesigning and staging your space.
