| How's your pricing? |
To determine the project costs, we start by calculating the material costs based on the project dimensions. Next, we contact multiple Atlanta based metal suppliers to obtain the best prices. Labor hours required for the build are also factored into the final cost. Additional costs such as painting, installation, and breakdown are available upon request. Rental pricing is calculated as a percentage of the total project cost. A 3% processing fee will be included on the invoice. Please note that projects requested within one month of the due date are subject to a 25-50% upcharge. |

| What is the difference between paint & powder coat |
When it comes to finishing metal sculptures, the choice between paint and powder coating depends on the product and the desired end result. Powder coating offers a more durable, smooth, and protective finish, making it the better option if you need a longer-lasting coating for your metal structure. However, if your metal sculpture will be covered with floral arrangements or is not intended to be the focal point of the display, paint may be a suitable alternative. |
