Price Index Calculation and Information
Picture Pros is fair and flexible in our bidding and estimating process. Due to an increase in city, government licenses, permits, equipment, commercial space, uniforms, and other overhead expenses in the current economy, we have an obligation and responsibility to cover all the costs to maintain our services and provide state-of-the-art installation to our clients. Our prices are very competitive in the current art installation industry.
Show-Up Fee
Hourly Installation Rate
Picture Pros has a basic show-up fee based on location, with the first hour of installation included (e.g., most areas in Orange County have a show-up fee of $245.00-$295.00).
To ensure safety and the highest quality of installation, Picture Pros requires two installers on all job sites at an hourly rate of $195.00 (the hourly rate is broken down into 15-min increments of $48.75 per hour).
Large-Scale Projects
Transportation
Due to the size and criteria of some corporate offices and public service area projects, an hourly rate is unsuitable for these installations because of different procedures and job site obligations. Therefore, some installations are bid in estimation format and sometimes require a presentation to show an overview of the projects. Please contact us for an estimate. Thank you.
- The pickup and delivery rate is $95.00-$145.00, up to 60 pieces or less anywhere in Orange County. For any pickups over 60 pieces, an estimate will be provided.
- All pickups in other counties/states are estimate only.
- For any pickups where Picture Pros is not installing, the picked-up items is estimate only.
Hardware
- All D rings, hooks, and standard hardware is supplied by Picture Pros at no cost to any of our clients or job sites.
- Any specialized hardware, such as high-precision wire or cable suspension, is estimate only.
- Aluminum Z bars can be provided by Picture Pros for items weighing over 75 lbs. at the cost of $4.95 per foot.
- There is no charge for blankets, carts, dollies, ladders, and other standard equipment for all art installations.
- For the safety of our team, we do not install pieces with a ladder higher than 20 feet. Anything over 20 feet requires a scissor lift or scaffolding system, which we can rent and invoice, or the client can provide. We are very experienced in installing art on ladders; however, after 20 feet, it is an unsafe high-risk hazard.
- Packaging for any artwork for shipping purposes, such as bubble wrapping, boxing, or crating, is estimate only.
