You'll complete your payment directly after you select your Start Date to reserve your consultation.

"When do I pay?"

"When does it start?"

Your consultation starts on the day you select before you complete your payment.

"How Long Until Delivery?"

Anything you'd like changed: colors, materials, layouts, combinations, or a new direction.  A typical patio consultation has 1 or 2 revision cycles, but we can do as many as possible during your consultation to get a design you love.

"What counts as a revision?"

I provide multiple options and an unbiased perspective.

"What if my partner & I disagree?"

"What about refunds or cancellations?"

Booking fees are non-refundable.  However, re-booking for the next available date is possible should that fit your project timeline.
