Complexity of dyes in kitchen cabinets

The total cost of the project is about $20k. We have just asked him whether the two island pieces can be stained with a different dyes (he uses dyes rather than stains). He said that it would cost an extra $750. I did not expect to incur an extra cost here, so I was very surprised by this answer. Before I ask a follow up question, I'd like to educate myself as to what might the reason for the extra cost. My naive thought was that there should not be an extra cost to closing a jar, putting it back on the shelf and opening a different jar, but clearly there is more to it than that. What is it? Thanks in advance, Sam First off, changes after the fact do cost money. FWIW I am having a home built by a know builder. Adding 1 more ceiling fan to the previously agreed on 8, resulted in the extra price for the fan, plus a $350 admin. fee. They absorbed the admin. fee with out me asking, as a courtesy. An "admin fee" of $350??? If they hadn't waived it, you definitely should've asked what the hell kind of "admin" they were talking about. Its a _contract_, silly.. At least $250 of that is for the lawyer to review the language. wry grin |
