Custom Home Decor
Services
I offer a varitey of services to suit your
needs . If you know what you want and have already chosen the fabric, I can sew it for you. If you have no idea in the world
what you might want and your windows have been bare for three years becuase you can't decide , I can definately
help! I make the process as easy for you as possible. I can search out the fabrics, and decide upon the style
most suited to your life for you.
How to Schedule an In Home Consultation:
Contact me through the form on the contact page or email me at createaviewdesigns@gmail.com.
I will respond within 24 hours ☺. Please let me know what city you live in and what you are looking for. I will
call you and find out more about what you are looking for. Then we schedule an In Home Consultation.
The In Home Consultation is $60. This includes two visits: a
first visit to come out, take photos and measurements and find out about you and your home. The second visit it to present
to you a proposal for your soft furnishings. This initial fee also includes travel and research time in preparing your
proposal. I will provide fabric and trim samples, photos and sometimes drawings to show you what we
will create for your home. The time between consultation visits is usually about 1 to 2 weeks depending on how many
rooms and windows you have.
You are presented with a cost proposal along with
the fabric and style samples on the second visit. This breaks down to the penny where the money goes. Fabric and
trim, labor, installation, and of course, taxes are listed so you know exactly what is what.
After we have decided upon the styles and fabrics, I require a 50% deposit of the total cost of materials
and labor. The other half is due upon installation of the work.
When hiring
me, we sign a contract that outlines exactly the work I am to do and how much money is to be paid for it. This protects everyone.
I try to have items ready to install within 4 weeks. Entire home projects take
a bit longer but I will keep you updated regularly.
I design and sew the
items. They are created in my smoke free/pet free home
in Chesapeake, Virginia .
Costs:
If you email to ask me " How much would a valance for my kitchen be?", I cannot
answer that without knowing first a number of things. Width of window, style of valance, type of fabric, lined/unlined, will
there be trim, will it be hung on a board or a rod, etc., etc., etc. I cannot and do not give cost estimates over the
phone or by email without having first seen the space the treatements will be going in. Labour costs are factored into
a price as well. Once I know the detaills, I can give you a price breakdown.
Installation: I prefer to use a professional installer
for all window treatments. This way it is done right. I use an excellent installer, his rates are very reasonable and
to this date nothing he has ever installed has some down or had any problems. So I would like to implore those of you
who are trying to save money by Doing It Yourself please just let Mr. Larry do it right and do it quickly. Window treatments
are an investment into your home when hung correctly. Guarantee:
I guarantee all materials and workmanship: Everything from the zippers to the installation. UPON REASONBLE
WEAR. (I can tell if your nephews used my cushions to build a rotating space station in the backyard. That is not reasonable
wear.
) References:
It is always good to ask for references when hiring anyone that is going to work closely with you and your
family in your home. I am happy to provide you with the contact information for clients whom I have worked with in the
past. This information can be obtained after the first in home consultation.
Already chosen the fabric and
style?
If you already know what
you want and you just need someone to create it for you, we can bypass the In Home Consultation.
