$500 deposit at the time of accepting the quote and 3 equal instalments for the balance when the work has started, in the middle, and at the completion.
2) For kitchen renovations, the initial $500 planning deposit is needed to develop the plans and the design for the exact kitchen quote (if a design and plans are needed). Paid after the home visit for initial consultation and measurements.
