A minimum retainer of $165 (three hours) is required for all projects. You will be provided a time/cost estimate for your project before work begins.
If your project takes three hours to complete, your bill will be considered paid in full.
If your project requires fewer than three hours to complete, you have the choice between: 1) a refund of the unused portion of the retainer; or 2) a credit on your invoice which can be applied to a future project.
If your project requires more than three hours, you will receive a bill for the overage which must be paid before the completed project is returned to you.
Projects estimated to take 10 or more hours to complete require a retainer equaling half of the estimated cost, e.g. a project estimated to take 10 hours would require a retainer of $275 and the balance would be paid upon the project's completion (with the prior stipulations for refunds and credits still applying).
Ongoing assignments
