Be sure to agree on all terms with client and their family. Don’t take the issue of kids room lightly . Be sure you know what the kids want for their space and delivery accordingly. Some clients are colour blind, and asides from 3D rendering, we always do on site sample colours application to be in agreement with client as regards their painting colour scope. Most client don’t like paying their balance upon project completion. So, we ensure we get at least 75% upfront payment before project commencement.
