FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I price fairly depending on the amount of time and work that needs to go into a certain project. There are several factors that go into each job. Moving furniture, priming, patching, sanding, taping, cleaning and other preparation. Every job is unique in it's own way depending on how much work is needed to complete it. I have a thorough understanding of what needs to be done before I start so I'm able to gauge how much time it will take and how to quote a job after I see it.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new customer I like to meet them at the job site to discuss what they would like painted. I can usually give a quote at the time of the initial meet-up, but sometimes I need to work on extra factors like hired help, cost of supplies, etc. After discussing the quote and we agree upon it I work out any extra details after that.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a BFA in Studio Art with my focus on painting from Texas State University. I'm an artist. I began painting homes in 2002 because I was interested in decorative painting (faux-finishes, murals, stencil work, furniture painting, etc.) I worked with a company in Houston, TX that was thoroughly trained in the art of decorative painting where I learned how to fine tune my craft. When I moved to Austin I got into regular interior painting and still do occasional decorative work. I work independently and also work for various carpenters, real-estate agents, builders and one 5 star painting company.
