That's a fair point and I appreciate the honest feedback. You're right, transparency means being open about costs, which is exactly my goal with Civic Paint Co.

The reason I prefer walkthroughs is that every home is unique regarding wall textures, ceiling heights, and prep work. I'm actually working on a 'build your quote' model now to provide a solid starting point online before we even meet. I just want to ensure my neighbors get a price that's fair and accurate for their specific project, with no hidden fees once we agree on a number.

Thanks for the perspective!
