Budget Considerations: Champagne vs Beer....

We often get asked how we can deliver a pleasing
result at the low prices we charge.

Here's the answer:

1. We keep a low overhead on our business - we don't have
    a 50,000 sqft facility rent to pass on. We are small and
    like being small because it gives us control over pricing.

2. We consider your budget: Is this a cottage reno where
    you want to keep prices low or a pending staging....we
    try to "partner" with the client to meet a challenge that
    suits us both.

3. We never gouge...I've heard some firms charge 7-10,000
    and as much as 15,000 to spray refinish 35 cabinet doors
    and kitchen...Are you kidding me ? New cabinetry from
   Kraft Maid and Schuler as well as IKEA can be had for
   as little as 105.00 per lineal foot. Why would a client pay
   for upcycling old when they can have brand new at less
   than that price ?

4. We sleep better at night and stay busier knowing we have
    to chase the rabbit ie. some money and provide a good
    value for the client, that does not break their budget.

5. Low staffing - we don't have an army of mouths to feed, in
    fact the trend nowadays is for 1 and 2 man painting companies
    that do excellent work. Who can afford to carry multiple staff
    in this economy....only the industrial painting contractors who
    are doing schools and airports, bridges etc.

6. We've already achieved alot of success...we don't seek the
    unobtainable or crazy dreams some people have, we are
    pragmatic, efficient and easy to get along with.
