Professional interior painters

Interior designers in Seattle have very different work styles, as diverse as the spaces they work on. To charge for their work, they normally use a combination of methods, depending on the extent of the services they will provide:

1. The initial consultation
The first meeting is for the interior designer to evaluate the project, show her work portfolio, talk about terms and conditions, see if the project fits her capacity and services, and most

importantly, if it inspires her. It is a good time to give important suggestions based on the first impressions, so that the client can evaluate the designer and see if he or she feels comfortable working with her. The interior designer may or may not charge for the initial consultation, it depends on her experience, workload, the firm’s policies, or the distance to the place where the project is to be conducted. You have to consider that a free initial consultation may not tell you all you need to know. The interior designer may wait until you make a decision to tell you what she thinks.

2. Retainer fees
Very often, the designer will ask for a retainer fee in advance, as soon as an agreement has been reached. The fee amount will cover what the professional believes will pay for her time and her employees’ time to plan the project.

3. A fee based price
The designer will check the project in detail to establish the range of services necessary and will set a price based on the hours of work or square footage, among other methods. This price may be paid in increments while the project is active, as items are received and delivered, or as services are provided. As a rule, to get the most advantageous deal for you, discard the lowest and higher estimates and choose from the ones in between.
