3. THE BIDDING PROCESS
The good folks at the bid desk will take all the information you give and work up a scenario. When, who, and how would we make this project happen? We imagine ourselves mixing paint, drawing… going through all the motions. How long would it take? What materials would we need? How much do they cost? How many people would work on it? We take time to gather the information and fill in our worksheets to come up with the amount needed to produce this job. That will be your bid price.

4. WE CONTACT YOU
We will send you a bid. On it will be described the scope of the project, specific requirements, time schedule and terms. We ask for 2/3 to begin the job, final payment on delivery.

5. YOU CONSIDER
Take time to thoroughly look at the bid. If you have questions or need changes, contact us and “we’ll talk”. We may need to change the bid.

6. TO ACCEPT THE BID
Let us know when you accept the bid. Then we will make a letter of agreement to be signed, we will sign it and send it to you to sign. It will need to be signed by a member of your organization who is responsible for payment.

SIGN THE LETTER OF AGREEMENT; RETURN IT WITH THE INITIAL PAYMENT. WE WILL THEN START YOUR PROJECT.

7. YOUR PROJECT IS IN OUR HANDS
Known throughout the industry for delivering quality work on time, we approach every job with expertise and care to ensure that you get what you want.

8. PROGRESS
You can visit and check on the progress any time you like. We are located two hours NW of New York City, a nice drive, or we can pick you up at the bus station.

If you wish we can email to you progress pictures.

9. SHIPPING
Be sure to provide us with the complete shipping address with a contact name and phone #. We prefer to use UPS to deliver your job, unless it is quite heavy or large. In that case we would engage a freight carrier of our choice or yours. We have no loading dock, so the truck needs to have a lift.

10. YOU RECEIVE THE PIECES - FINAL PAYMENT DUE
We hope that you will be pleased with our work and will ask us to paint for you again, as so many people have done in the past. Thank you!
