FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Yes. My price ranges from $35-$40 an hr for painting And $40-$45 an hr for wood refinishing, both depending on how much is involved with the project, and the level of quality desired. Some finishes take more time and attention than others.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to meet with a client and discuss exactly what types of finishes they prefer and a timeline for their project. Then, I will work up a bid with all the details of the conversation. Or, often with wood refinishing it is time & materials, because sometimes it involves custom mixing to achieve the perfect colors of old ambered stained woodwork.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I started painting as a young woman, because I enjoyed working with my hands. I've been working in the painting/wood refinishing business now for 30 years. I learned from a guitar maker how to create beautiful water base clear finishes over wood. I hold a BFA in art which I feel brings and aesthetic eye to my work. This, I believe, and an attention to detail, sets me apart from the average painter.
