Good morning! Thank you for your inquiry. A paint colour consultation takes approximately one hour. During that time we review your likes and dislikes and how we can enhance the fixed elements of your home. I try to focus on delivering the style or personality you would like to portray in the area. I leave you with a full colour palette and my best suggestions for type and amount of product required. If you are staging i have an amazing well priced product that covers very well . If you plan to stay in your home for years and don't paint that often then I also have the perfect self priming product that will last for 15 years. The cost of the consultation is just $150. in the Barrie area with a small travel fee for outside of Barrie. The fee entitles you to a discount at Allandale Decorating Centre at Yonge St at Little Ave in the south end . We carry Benjamin Moore product as well as our own house brand of product that is Canadian made and the best paint value out there. We also carry a fabulous stain product that can convert your light oak to a beautiful rich JAVA or BARK colouring without having to stripe off the old stain. You can contact me at 750 790 2284 or 705 739 7730 or info@suekay.ca. Thanks again for inquiring and I hope to hear from you soon. Sue Kay
