Repairs & Restorations Work
Terms and Conditions
I specialize in custom design furnishings, restoration of furnishings and antiques.
I request a 50% deposit for all work brought to my shop or work on your premises. For all projects over 500.00, in accordance with Vermont Law, a contract detailing an estimate must be signed. Terms vary depending on the scope of the project; however customers can expect 50% deposit on labor and 100% on materials with installments and balance paid in full when the project is complete, or near completion, depending on whether I am performing work in my shop, for pick up, or at your location (26 V.S.A. § 5509). If traveling to install or renovate I may require balance paid prior to scheduling the installation. Balance is due when the project is completed. Please note: for out of town, out of state clients we require a cc to be held in the event your order cannot be picked up at the time of completion. Any changes along the way in terms of wood type, design changes will be reflected in the final price.
Estimates are valid for 10 days as stock availability and pricing vary frequently. Estimates are based on a time and materials plus standard industry mark up. Unforeseen issues encountered once the project is underway, or, changes to the work order by the customer, will be reflected in the final invoice price and due upon completion of work, unless the scope of the changes are considerable enough to warrant an additional installment and prepayments. According to Vermont Contract Law, "if agreements or other circumstances make
such payments appropriate ..." regarding prepaying or veering from the
original contract (Title 26, Chapter 106).
Consultation/design fees may apply depending on the scope of the job. For large projects that I am designing to the homeowners specifications, I require a design/research and development fee billed at my hourly rate. My shop rate is 110.00 per hour. My on site rate is 95.00. For inspections or design consultations in your home my hourly rate applies including travel time and fuel. A signed estimate/agreement is required for all jobs over 500.00. Customers have 3 days to cancel after the contract is signed. Deposit monies will be held for that time period.
Additional Terms
Returning customers are billed at an hourly rate of 80.00 per hour.
On site work that goes beyond 1 day is also billed at 80.00 per hour.

best to match colors but cannot guarantee exact matches. Bear in mind that
solid timber has different grains and colors can vary from one tree to
another and cannot be compared to veneer furniture
- There can be a variation in colors
– especially when items are manufactured at different times. Old solid
wooden furniture colors will be different to the newly manufactured
