Standard Operating Procedure

First you need an estimate. No, I don't give estimates over the phone there are too many variables to be accurate. But I can do a pretty job with a little information and a photograph. Or there is the in house estimate. I do charge a fee for an in home estimate but it is applied to the work, when the work is performed.

I break my estimates into five areas; labor, materials, internal supplies, non-typical labor, and miscellaneous expenses. I feel that this division makes it easier to read and understand.

Labor: the price to remove the old upholstery, check the frame, foundations, padding, add fresh batting, muslin and install the new material.

Materials: Yard goods, hides, etc.

Internal Supplies: New cushion cores, pillow cores, hair, springs, foam, burlap, cotton, etc.

Non- Typical Labor: Frame repair, re-spring the foundations, hand sew an edge roll, harden the wood, replace missing wood, etc.

Miscellaneous Expenses: Cleaning and toning, shipping and handling, sales tax, transportation, storage, etc.

To get on the work schedule I need a deposit, usually fifty- percent, or enough to cover the materials, shipping and handling. For COM orders I generally take a third down. You are given an estimated date of pick up and delivery; I have the work out the house roughly three weeks. Payment of the balance is on delivery.
