Decor Pricing — In Detail

Using the BASE PRICES quoted throughout the DECORATING section of our site, along with the information provided below, it is possible to determine the approximate cost of an installation without contacting our office. However, for guaranteed pricing, please contact our offices for a written quote. We also encourage customers to reserve event dates as early as possible, up to six months in advance.

Our decor pricing structure includes four parts.

1. BASE PRICE
2. SET-UP FEE
3. STRIKE FEE
4. OTHER FEES


Why is it necessary to have four parts you might ask? Why can't everything be rolled into the BASE PRICE?

The BASE PRICE is the charge for labor and materials required to produce the decor.

The SET-UP FEE is the charge to transport the decor and/or materials to the final display location. It is the cost of people and vehicles traveling, transporting, and positioning. If a customer used their own vehicle to pick up a balloon arch which had been assembled in our shop, this fee would not be charged.

The STRIKE FEE is the flip-side of the SET-UP FEE. It is the cost to remove the decor. It is not charged when the customer or the facility accepts responsibility for removing the decor.

Other fees cover unusual expenses such as lift rentals and electrical power user fees.
