FAQs

Once contacted (via phone, email or the contact form), we will set up a time to visit your space and discuss the project. During our consultation, you will be able to review physical samples. If you have a specific vision that isn't in our current collection, we are happy to create a custom sample for an additional charge to cover time and materials (samples remain the property of RDF). Once you select your finish, we will provide a detailed estimate. Upon client approval, a deposit will be collected to secure your spot on the schedule and order materials.

What is the first step?

Pricing is determined by a combination of factors, including the complexity of the chosen finish, the time required for completion, the square footage, job-site access, surface conditions, and the specific products being used.

To book a consultation for your project, please reach out via phone, email, or the contact form on the website.

How long will it take to complete a finish?

5

What do I need to do to prepare?

6

Please remove any furniture and wall art from the room or work area, and give the walls and baseboards a quick wipe down. That’s about it! I will take care of removing outlet covers, masking everything off, and protecting your floors. For new or recently repaired walls, I kindly ask that the area be primed before we arrive. Please note that I do not handle extensive wall repairs, so you will need to have a professional drywall specialist address those issues beforehand.

When is the best time to schedule decorative finishes during a remodel or new build?

7

Royal Design Finishes is happy to work closely with homeowners and interior designers to plan timelines effectively. Generally speaking, decorative finishes are applied near the end of a project to prevent accidental nicks or marring during other installations. However, if there are fixtures like toilets that will be difficult to work around, it is preferred to complete the finish prior to their installation.

What else should I know?

8

We will need access to running water (ideally a cleared utility sink) during the project, and we always take every precaution to keep debris out of your drains.

We LOVE meeting pets, but for their safety and ours, please keep them away from the active work area during the project.
