Sample Prices & Fees
Listed below are sample labor and item costs for carpet color repair and correction. These would be used for by-item and actual costs invoicing. This type of pricing is usually the most reasonable for the customer. To see examples of how these are actually applied, refer to our Job Photo Gallery. There you will find actual job photos (before and after) with a representive job price. Included are various types of solved color problems.
Jobs may also be accepted on a bid/estimate bases. However, estimates are not free. There is an estimate charge to cover our time and costs which must be paid up-front or the contact immediately signed. Upon completion of work, the prepaid estimate charge would then be credited towards the invoiced price.
Where a customer may require a set price, but the job involves an unknown amount of labor and cost, the job may be estimated with a safe padding and given a cap price. Invoicing would then be issued on actual labor and costs, but would not exceed the cap price. The customer would then have assurance that the job would not exceed unanticapated limits. However, an estimate charge would still be chargeable and non-refundable. The result would be the same as the by-item and actual costs invoicing, but with an estimate charge added.
