Frequently Asked Questions About Project Pricing
Can you give me a price from photos and dimensions?
Yes. Photos, approximate wall dimensions, ZIP code, inspiration images, and a general budget are usually enough for us to provide a preliminary price range.

Are the prices on this page fixed?
No. The ranges are planning guidelines. Final pricing depends on the actual wall, materials, cabinetry, lighting, fireplace, preparation, and installation requirements.

Are materials included?
Standard materials included in the approved scope are reflected in the project price. Specialty materials or client-selected upgrades may change the total.

Is electrical work included?
Licensed electrical work is handled separately when required. We coordinate the project around the electrical work, but the electrician may provide a separate price.
Can you work with a specific budget?
Yes. If the budget is realistic for the project type, we can often simplify materials, cabinetry, lighting, or decorative details while keeping the main design concept.

What can increase the price after the estimate?
Unexpected wall conditions, additional demolition, structural issues, changes in scope, upgraded materials, or additional electrical work can affect the final cost.

Do you require a deposit?
A deposit is typically required to schedule the project and move forward with final planning and material preparation. The exact payment terms are included in the proposal.

How do I get the most accurate estimate?
Send clear photos of the wall and surrounding room, approximate width and height, TV size if applicable, inspiration images, ZIP code, and your target budget.
