commission policies

general

• all commissions are subject to my interest and availability

  • I do not duplicate previous work, and I prefer commissions that give me creative liberty

• submitting an inquiry is an application, not a contract

  • I try to respond to all inquiries within a week

  Cost

  • the final cost of a commission is determined by the cost of materials plus an hourly rate for labor, including design time

  • if your commission is accepted, an estimated price range will be provided

  • if you accept the estimated price range, a deposit will be required

    • if I find that I need more time or material than the initial estimate, that will be communicated and you will be included in any decision making

  timeline

  • repair inquiries with rigid deadlines must be submitted at least 45 days before the deadline

  • custom inquiries with rigid deadlines must be submitted at least 90 days before the deadline

  • the timelines above represent an absolute minimum (rush), more lead time is preferred

    • rush jobs will include an extra fee if accepted
