What You Can Expect at Your Color Consultation
STEVE WILL BRING THE COLORS: Steve will bring decorator palettes from several paint manufactures to help you with your selections. These decorator palettes are unique in the size – rather than tiny chips you find at the paint or home improvement stores, they are at least 5 times as big and give you a much better idea of the final look.
HOW THE CONSULTS TYPICALLY GO: Steve will work with your existing fabrics, window treatments, carpet samples, and most importantly your own ideas and feelings about how the room should look to help you choose your colors. Her goal is to help you set the tone of a space while achieving a natural flow throughout your house, and make your design look intentional and cohesive.
The consultations typically last an hour, and you will be left with samples of the colors that you decided on. Steve will then email this information to us when she is done.
CANCELLATION/RESCHEDULING: Please call at least 24 hours in advance if you need to reschedule a time to meet. If we don’t have advanced warning of a cancellation, we will still pay Steve for his time. Thank you for your business and consideration.
QUESTIONS/COMMENTS: Please email or call 515-612-7467.
DECISIONS THAT MAY AFFECT COST
Changing Products
1. A preference of a paint manufacturer other than Sherwin-Williams
a. Why: Added cost since we do not get our deep pricing discount, and the additional time to travel to a different store.
b. Additional Cost: The price differential (anything above $25/gallon you pay)
2. Changing the sheen on the walls from flat to a shinier finish.
a. Additional preparation time since shinier products are less forgiving, additional time to apply product to prevent “flashing”, plus additional cost for product.
b. Additional Cost: Add 15% to the cost of the room.
Choosing Deep Colors
1. A bold color on walls.
a. Why: We typically specify FC (Full Coverage guaranteed up to 2 coats) on walls. This does not account for the third coat that may be necessary with color changes.
b. Additional Cost: $75/hr + any materials.
2. Changing the trim color dramatically unless 3 coats are specified
a. Why: Bold changes in trim color are not accounted for if the proposal states 2 coats and/or FC (Full Coverage guaranteed up to 2 coats).
b. Additional Cost: contact Steve Weiland
Changing Contract Specifics
1. An accent wall in a room
a. Why: additional paint cost, additional time to switch from one color to the next and to “cut-in” the corners
b. Additional Cost: $150/accent wall
2. Changing the trim color unless 2 coats specified.
a. Why: If the color is changed it almost always needs a 2nd coat to cover properly
b. Additional Cost: Depending – see proposal, or contact me.
3. More than 1 color (typically ceiling white) on all of the ceilings.
a. Why: Added cost in material, and time to change from one color to the next
b. Additional Cost: $100/additional color
4. Requesting additional preparation
a. Why: Additional time to prepare to a higher standard than specified in proposal.
b. Additional Cost: $75/hr or roughly 10-15% per room.
