3. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION QUESTIONS AND QUOTES

John Adams, Modern Design Aquascaping's Owner, does his own consultations, designs, and on-site, hands-on installation supervision. It's a very challenging schedule, but John's presence on your jobsite insures that you will receive a unique water feature custom built for your location by one of the countries best water feature specialists! In order for him to be designer, as well as the head of the install crew, John's time has to be very organized, and for this reason, we've set up the following "information chain" to facilitate the question/quote process:

.....this website offers quite a bit of information,

.....there are some local "drive-by" installation sites listed above,

.....upon request, we will be happy to supply you with current reference list,

.....John will do a one-on-one Professional Installation Consultation at your site, by appointment (Tuesday through Thursday), generally at 5:30 pm. He may well be dirty and sweaty, and even a little late, as he generally comes directly from a jobsite; but , if after answering your questions, it is mutually decided to continue with the project, he will then do a design w/firm quote.

.....The Consultation Fee is $75.00 for initial Professional Installation Consultations at sites within a 40-mile radius of Friendsville. Outside of the 40-mile radius, an additional trip charge will apply based on distance.

.....The Consultation Fee is also $75.00 for initial Do-It-Yourself Consultations. If you wish to hire John to design a feature to build yourself, he will give a more detailed design with complete materials list, as well as all the help you need, and his time spent on the project will be billed at an hourly rate. If the jobsite is outside of a 40-mile radius of Friendsville, an additional trip charge/trip to jobsite will also apply.

If you'd like to schedule an consultation with John, contact Sharon at 865-995-1234 or sharonafields@comcast.net .
