FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Clear pricing, no surprises. Hourly rate: $75/hr, 2-hour minimum. Flat rates for common jobs: Single piece installation: $95-125 Gallery wall (4-8 pieces, layout + install): $250-400 Large or heavy mirror mounting: $150-225 Space or layout consult only (no install): $150 Additional fees: Heavy-duty anchors or specialty hangers: priced at cost, usually $2-10 each depending on the piece Travel: no charge within the greater Austin area; a small fee applies for jobs further out I always confirm scope and pricing with you before I start, and anything discovered on-site that changes the job gets discussed with you first, never a surprise on the invoice.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start by asking for a few photos of the wall and the pieces you're working with, so I can give you an accurate quote before we ever meet. Once we agree on scope and price, I send a short written agreement covering the job details, then we book a time that works for you. I show up, confirm the plan on-site, and get to work.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've spent 18+ years as a design director, most recently leading experience design for enterprise teams, and I'm also a working fine artist with formal training. That background is exactly why I approach a wall differently than a typical installer: I'm trained to think about composition, spatial layout, and how a piece is actually experienced in a room, not just how to drill a level hole.
