Estimates and QUOTES

CALL US TODAY SO WE CAN GUIDE YOU ​WITH YOUR NEEDS AND OPTIONS

Call us early to plan your needs

call us now
​Due to varying workloads with different seasonal demands, it is best to call Blue Tent early to start the discussion and plan the work to fit within a time frame that pleases you and is achievable for Blue Tent factoring in other clients and a possible need to order specific materials for your project if we don't already have stock.

Estimates and quotes

Estimated jobs are given in terms of a price range based on a certain set of conditions and assumptions in terms of design, material costs, and possible perceived uncertainty during the work.  For instance, if we are redoing the seat covering, and when the old covering is removed, we discover springs are broken and foam is degraded such that those items should be replaced too, then the cost of a project is adjusted in coordination with the client.   It is rare for a project to fall outside an estimate range.

Quotes on the other hand are given when projects have little to no chance of significant unexpected situations.  ​Quotes are firm where minor surprises (if any), requiring extra material and extra effort, are absorbed by Blue Tent.   If a major surprise is found (rare), work stops and client is consulted.

Estimates and quotes can be given for free or for a prepaid fee

Free or prepaid depends on how you want us to evaluate your job.  Inquire as to how you would like to obtain an estimate or quote.

Payment

In all cases where specialized materials are ordered, a portion of all of the total job will be prepaid.  Full payment is due on pickup of work.
