Supplemental fees to be determined (TBD) are discussed for individual projects at the time of a contract agreement.

Color Services by Mail

Many of the below mentioned services can be provided by mail. E-mail your name and address and the nature of the project and I will send a kit for you to complete and return to me for review. Once I have had an opportunity to review your presentation, I will contact you by phone to discuss preliminary color design concepts and record priorities and preferences on the materials you have sent me. From there, I will complete a plan that includes visuals of your project with paint swatches and manufacturer’s codes to work with your contractor.

There is no financial obligation to submit a project. Upon review of your kit, I will discuss color design concepts with you by phone. Upon agreement of the direction of the color palette, I will request a 50% deposit. The balance will be due (billed by mail) following your receipt of the color design presentation. Normal delivery time is approximately one to two weeks.
