There will be a price raise coming this fall. We were blessed with the busiest season ever and due to sheer demand, high cost of materials and new seasonal employment, adjustments have to be made. Mind you we are not anywhere near the highest rates in the US, this is mid range. We are not going to be cheap for we want to attract the best clientele for the quality, experience and the level of professionalism we strive for.
If you are the minority who think the rates are "high", our business has gotten busier every year and encouraged to charge more on top of the 200% plus increased cost of materials across the board. We listen to the market as a whole, and not to the few individuals that penny pinch and try to haggle and degrade our work. We are artists and we charge to our operating and living needs. The worst thing we can do is price match neighboring shops or falter to haggling.
If we are sadly out of your range (which we are nowhere near the most expensive), it's unprofessional to blackmail our business or the owner just because you don't want to pay our rate. We will not cater to any deals of any sort. This is a business that will be run professionally. Please do not waste our time. If you want our work, the cost to do so is below.
