Why is there a Design Deposit?
To ensure the seriousness of the project and to facilitate the commencement of revisions and other project-related tasks, a Design Deposit is required for any project revisions beyond the preliminary bid. This deposit represents a 15% down payment of the current project bid and will be credited toward the total project. This payment is not an additional fee but serves as a commitment from the Client to move forward with the project. No further revisions, detailed drawings, or measurements will be provided until this payment is received.

Agreement by Receipt of Payment
By submitting payment, the Client explicitly acknowledges and agrees to all terms, drawings, and specifications detailed in this contract. The Scope of Work is defined by the specifications in the latest approved revision and any subsequent drawings, which are provided to Client at the time of Invoicing, and all of which are incorporated herein by reference to be the entire scope of work and nothing more. Any deviations must be approved in writing via a change order. Any modifications to the agreed-upon scope, drawings, or specifications after payment will require a separate written change order and fees, which will incur additional charges and may result in delays in the project timeline. All payments made are non-refundable, as production begins immediately upon receipt of payment.

Paint and Touchups
All paint services are provided exclusively in Satin Sheen. One color is included in the price, additional colors are $500/ea. One round of touchups is included in the paint package and scheduled at the very end of the job. Touchups are defined as localized corrections for minor surface damage, such as scratches, chips, or dings, incurred during transport or installation. These touchups serve to camouflage the imperfections and are not intended to achieve perfection. Perfection is not guaranteed and imperfection is not considered a defect. Client acknowledges cabinetry as a handmade product and will have imperfections are inherent to it’s design and nature. Touchups address defects visible from 3 feet under normal lighting conditions, excluding natural wood variations, joint cracks under 1/16 inch, or wear from use.

Additional touchups beyond the first round will require a new bid and approval through a separate change order or may be completed by third-party contractors at the Client's expense.

Texture and sheen variations, screw holes affixing cabinets to the walls, color variations due to lighting or wood grain, thinning of paint in high-contact areas, overspray in hidden spots or overspray from touchup, hairline cracks in joints, and minor sheen differences between surfaces are expected, normal, acceptable, and not considered defects. Defects will only be considered for touchup if they are visible at arm’s length, under both built-in lighting and natural light, and without the use of visual aids such as flashlights or magnification.

BCC isn’t liable for environmental damage from its operations or it’s subcontractors, barring gross negligence, as Client assumes site-related risks.

Door and Drawer Adjustments
One round of door and drawer adjustments is included after the painting process has been completed. Adjustments include ensuring proper alignment, smooth operation, and even spacing of doors and drawers. Overlay, Fully Overlay, and Inset cabinets have a standard door gap reveal of ~1/8”. Frameless cabinets have a standard door gap reveal of 3/16”. Any additional adjustments requested after the initial round will require a separate service call and will be billed at BCC’s standard rate of $50 per hour with a minimum of $250 callout fee.

Floor Trim and Fitment to Existing Floors
BCC does not provide floor trim installation or adjustments to accommodate uneven or unlevel finished floors. The Client is solely responsible for ensuring that the finished floor is level and ready for cabinet installation. BCC will not match tile outlines, address uneven floor heights, or correct floor conditions.
It is the Client’s responsibility to correct any floor issues prior to installation. If the floor is found to be unlevel, uneven, or otherwise unsuitable for cabinet installation, BCC reserves the right to either reschedule the installation for an additional callout fee or proceed with the installation using shims and blocking.

Appliance Panels:
Appliance panels are excluded. Once the appliances are on-site and installed, BCC can produce a new bid or change order for the appliance panels. Upon receipt of payment, the panels will be manufactured, however the Client remains responsible for their installation.

Hardware Installation:
Hardware installation is excluded unless purchased directly from BCC, in which case installation is included. The Client must provide final hardware specifications (part number and finish) before production begins. Delays in providing specs will result in project delays, as production cannot start without this information. If hardware specs are not provided before the 65% payment, BCC will proceed without pre-drilling, and Client is responsible for hardware installation unless purchased from BCC, in which case installation is included.

Delivery and Installation Terms
Delivery and installation are included F.O.B. job site. Risk of loss transfers to Client upon delivery to the site. Client must ensure that all trade conflicts per the provided trade conflict email/document are resolved prior to the scheduled delivery date. If any conflicts prevent installation at the time of delivery, BCC reserves the right to reschedule installation for the next available date. If installation is delayed due to unresolved trade conflicts, Client incurs a $250 rescheduling fee per occurrence, with a maximum of two reschedule attempts before termination rights apply. The Client is responsible for coordinating with all third-party contractors to ensure the worksite is ready for installation.

Trimming Techniques and Finish Adjustments
BCC reserves the right to employ varying techniques to trim and finish the installed cabinetry for a complete and polished appearance, including but not limited to scribing cabinets directly to walls or using scribe strips to cover gaps deemed too large for caulk alone. These methods are at BCC’s discretion, based on industry standards and the specific conditions of the Client’s site. The Client acknowledges that such techniques are standard practice to accommodate natural variations in walls, floors, or other structural elements, and that minor visible differences in trim application (e.g., scribe lines or strip edges) do not constitute defects. BCC will perform these adjustments with reasonable care to ensure a professional finish, but perfection in gap concealment is not guaranteed due to site-specific factors beyond BCC’s control.

Estimated Timelines and Project Updates
All estimated timelines provided by BCC are non-binding and are based on current production capacity and availability of resources. As such, BCC does not guarantee specific completion or delivery dates. The Client acknowledges that any project delays are beyond BCC's control unless explicitly stated otherwise in this contract. BCC is not liable for indirect, special, or consequential damages, including lost profits or opportunities.

Revisions and Design Deposits
Two revisions are included at no additional charge. Each subsequent revision will incur a fee of $250, which will be added to the final invoice. Major design changes may require resubmission for approval and could result in additional charges based on material and labor impacts.
A non-refundable design deposit of 15% of the total preliminary project cost is required before any design revision work begins. This deposit will be credited toward the total project cost upon contract finalization.

Payment Terms

All Jobs require a 15% design deposit.
65% of the total, including the design deposit, is due upon Client’s approval of final drawings and before production begins.
The remaining 35% is due within 7 days of installation completion, defined as cabinets affixed to walls and fully operational, excluding touchups or adjustments. If the remaining 35% is not paid within 7 days of installation completion, a late fee of 1.5% per month shall accrue on the unpaid balance, and BCC may suspend any remaining services (e.g., touchups, adjustments) until payment is received.
Change Orders, jobs under $10,000, jobs where the homeowner is the Client, and all remodels jobs, require payment in full (100%) prior to production.

BCC may recover reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred to enforce any provision of this contract, including but not limited to payment disputes, lien filings, or repossession actions."

Warranty and Service Terms
BCC provides a 12-month limited warranty from the date of installation, guaranteeing that all custom cabinets will be constructed and installed according to the specifications outlined in this contract. The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use and service conditions.

Warranty claims must be submitted in writing. BCC will respond within 14 days and schedule repairs within 30 days, subject to availability. Non-warranty service fees are due upon completion.
Warranty service calls are provided free of charge within the 12-month warranty period, subject to the exclusions listed above. Non-warranty service calls will incur a minimum charge of $250, plus $50 per hour for labor. All service call payments are due upon completion of the service.

Job Site Cleanliness and Dust Liability:
BCC is not responsible for the cleaning of cabinets after installation, nor for the removal of dust or debris generated at the job site during or after the installation process. The Client acknowledges that the installation of cabinetry may result in dust and agrees that BCC is not liable for any cleaning or dust removal, including cleaning related to other trades on-site or post-installation dust accumulation.

Mechanic’s Lien and Retention of Ownership
If the Client fails to make payments according to the contract schedule, BCC reserves the right to file a mechanic’s lien on the property where the cabinetry has been installed to secure unpaid amounts. BCC may file a mechanic’s lien if payments are overdue by 30 days, following required statutory notices and will provide notice of intent to file a lien via certified mail at least 15 days prior, per Texas Property Code Chapter 53. Client waives objections to lien enforcement. The Client acknowledges and consents to this process in the event of non-payment.

BCC retains full ownership of all cabinetry until the final payment has been made. The Client agrees that they have no ownership rights, even if the cabinetry has been installed. In cases of non-payment, BCC reserves the right to repossess the cabinetry without further notice.
