Our Process

Step 3

Step 4

Once a concept is developed, we start talking about payment. t we’ve come up with, I’ll provide an accurate project quote. A deposit is required to begin the work. Once I receive the deposit we are ready. Before I do any drawings, based on the concept and a payment schedule will be worked out.

Once I receive a 50% deposit, we are ready to add your project to the queue.

Step 6

Then I do a final project drawing. The drawing is produced as a full-size shop drawing (like a blueprint) and also as a thumbnail. The thumbnail is a drawing on 8 1/2″ X 11″ paper that will be sent to you for approval.

Once the drawing is approved, the materials are ordered if they are not in stock at our shop already.

Step 2

Step 1

If you don’t have a drawing, you will be asked if you have a concept or an idea in mind. We can help you develop that.

The first step is where you will be asked if you already have a drawing or if you need to have one made.

Once the project is completed, the balance payment is due before shipping. Shipping cost are not part of the original quote so I will inform you of the added shipping cost.

The manufacturing process begins.

Step 10

Once you product has arrived I will stand by waiting to help by phone with installation instructions. You’ll be surprised how easy this is! The hands-on process of ornamental design is an extremely complex process. But, for you the customer, it is our personal aim to make the Lakeside Ornamental process a smooth and easy one.

While the piece is en-route, or maybe even before, you want to start looking for a roofer or handyman to install it. I’ll give you recommendations as to what to look for in a contractor. Instructions I provide are very clear and detailed. Make sure you hire an installer that will follow instructions.

If something isn’t working right after installation, it’s usually because of something done incorrectly during installation. But, my work is guaranteed!

The contractor is welcome to call me if he doesn’t understand the installation process to make sure it’s done right.
