What the old price covered

paint-grade built-ins on the wall we measured, installed and ready for your painter. Left out: stain-grade wood, and the paint itself.

Do not guess a new number

Paint-grade is a smooth box your painter finishes. Stain-grade is the lumber and a finish I do. Do not start a stain-grade build on a paint-grade deposit. Are we staying with paint-grade, or do you want a stain-grade price?

Did the built-in shelves change?

Hi Claire,

Has the built-in shelves changed since I priced it at $5,600? If it has, tell me what is different and I will revise it.

Are we staying with paint-grade, or do you want a stain-grade price?

Thanks,
