Our Process

We understand that this process can be confusing and overwhelming, on any level, especially with all the distractions of easily seen ideas out there these days. If you have never had a custom piece made you may not even know where to start. This where we come in. This is meant to help you understand our process and give you an idea of what to expect though out the process. As with any custom work some things may be different for different situations.

We collaborate with you to refine your ideas making sure that they are not only what you want but that they are beautiful and functional. This often requires many questions and suggestions; we do this to ensure your satisfaction with the project when we are finished.

We can work from just about any beginning including hand drawn sketches, verbal descriptions, pictures from Pinterest/internet to professional technical drawings. If needed, we can schedule an appointment to stop by and take measurements. After we gather all the information we need from the beginning steps and obtain measurements, we will provide you a rough estimate of your project. or we can schedule an appointment to stop by and take measurements and discuss the design in person then provide you with an estimate that way. once we have this information, we will draw out a rendering with measurements of what we interpreted from our conversation. This gives us a great starting point to start from common ground (same page). We can then change, add, delete or modify elements of the design so that is what you want.

Once we have a design hammered out and a price agreed upon, we only require a 50% deposit to get you on the schedule and get started. The deposit secures your place in the schedule and allows us to purchase the materials your project requires.

Right before we start the building process, we will double check our measurements if necessary and possibly stop by one more time to take what I call hard measurements and look over the space one more time so that everything is fresh in my mind while I am building. This helps ensure accuracy and functionality.

We will keep you updated when we get close to starting and as the project begins then again when we have it completed. if installation is required it is at this point, we will schedule a time to deliver and install.

The final payment is due upon completion on most projects, on larger projects we require a 50% deposit then another 30% payment as we get closer to completion then the remaining 20% and any extra charges are due upon completion.
