How does your pricing work?

We charge an hourly rate for design time (typically $100/hour). For larger projects, we may require a retainer to get started, in which case, we will bill design time and purchases against the retainer until depleted. We will also add a commission fee to any materials, fixtures, etc. you purchase through us.

As we frequently receive significant discounts from our vendors, even when adding the commission, buying through us is almost always less expensive than retail pricing.

What Payment Methods are Available?

We currently invoice through Paypal, allowing you to pay with Paypal or credit cards. We also accept personal checks.

We may accept alternative payment methods such as Venmo on a case by case basis.

We reserve the right to change the available payment methods at any time.

Can I buy my furniture and fixtures through you or do I need to source them myself?

You can absolutely buy everything through 806! In fact, we’d prefer it. We are able to get discounts that you may not have access to, bringing the overall budget down and saving you money.

How often will I need to be available?

You can be as involved in the project as you want to be! Lindsey will be creating proposals and decks with everything for your approval. However, if you see something you like or want to go shopping with her, just ask! This is your home. Lindsey wants to make sure that you feel like you have a say in every element.

That said, if you prefer for her to just run with it and let you know, that’s fine too.

When will I be Invoiced?

We typically invoice our clients monthly for design time. We will invoice any purchases made through us either at the time we are billed by the vendor, or as part of the monthly invoice. If a project ends in the middle of a monthly billing cycle with an outstanding balance, we will invoice said balance upon completion of the project.

Will I be Invoiced for the initial consultation?

No, the initial consultation is free! Lindsey prefers to assess each job prior to bringing on a client to ensure that she is the right fit for the job. If you and Lindsey decide the fit is right, you will be billed for all design time moving forward.

Will I receive an Estimate on the amount of time my Project will need?

Yes, but the amount of time given is always an estimate. As with any construction project, there may be unforeseen circumstances which cause a project to run over time. It is best if you have an idea of the budget you would like to spend going in to the initial consultation with Lindsey. This allows her to tailor the project to your budget.

Do I need to have my own contractor when starting a project?

No, you don’t need to have your own contractor or vendors. Lindsey has a great network of professionals she can call on for any project. If you do have your own contractor, Lindsey is happy to work with them on the project.
