FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I price by the square foot of wall or ceiling space, or with cabinetry I price by how many doors, drawers, and panels there are. Then on how many steps I have to take to achieve the finish. I add materials costs separately. They are almost never included in my bids.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Phone conversation first to get an idea of what they are wanting done and a possible budget. Then we will meet to look at the space, look at existing samples and I will take measurements. A bid will be typed up and emailed. If the bid is accepted we will sign a contract, take deposit and go over color choices. If a sample board is needed to be made I will make one for approval before I start.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have taken numerous classes all over the country, in the decorative arts field.
