Sometimes, the scope of work cannot be accurately determined from a picture or even from looking at it. Once I open a project do I will do everything possible to stay as close to the estimate as possible.

I do give a number of scholarships each year for prom dresses and business attire when a client is in need and/or financially struggling.
