FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard pricing is an hourly rate of $225/hr when I work on a project. I am also able to purchase items discounted off of retail. My initial 15 min. consultation either on the phone is at no charge to the potential client. My first on-site consultation is scheduled for 2 hours and is priced at $450 You may ask me anything during that time and I'll give you my ideas and direction on whatever you need. Who knows, we might end up moving furniture. Travel time up to 30 minutes each way is included. $50.00 for round trip may be charged at the discretion of the designer based on distance or time of meeting (i.e., commute time).
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When a potential new client contacts me, I'll do an initial interview over the phone to determine the scope of the project and how I can help. The next step would be to schedule a 2 hour consultation where I get to know you better and learn more in-depth about the project and you can ask me any questions that you have and I can point you in the right directions. That appointment will cost $450. If you choose to go under contract with me to continue and get down to work we can schedule that appointment to follow.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have had extensive training on remodeling my own homes as well as numerous client projects. I understand the building process. I have a design certification from a local college and attend continued education seminars to keep up with the latest the industry has available.
