How Our Consultations Work
Following the Discovery Call, we provide a detailed summary outlining next steps and recommend a follow-up consultation based on your needs and goals.

We offer transparent pricing for our core consultations. Many of our services, such as custom proposals for larger projects and tailored maintenance programs, are highly specialized and unlisted. To explore how we can support your project—including unlisted consultations—please reach out via our contact form or begin with a Discovery Call.
On-Site Services
We offer two On-Site consultations—On-Site Care Assessments and On-Site Assessments—as well as ongoing Maintenance & Care services. Our team is based in San Francisco, and currently serves On-Site clients within a reasonable distance of San Francisco and the Bay Area.
