I spoke with vendor Brandon Thompson who did work on front door on December 19th and he explained to
me that we cannot compare the two quotes as each job has a different scope of work
Stairs (bid attached) - $13,535
refinishing wood and applying three coats of best varnish
(brandon states that scope of work here is most comparable to front doors that cost 11,750)
job will take 3 weeks if he has access to work 10-12 hour days and can begin immediately
Library (bid attached) - $18,200
first will wash and refinish only 1/3 of space where bare wood is visible then apply 1-2 coats of wax (as
opposed to varnish)
job will take 3 weeks if he has access to work 10-12 hour days and can begin immediately
Vendor would like a 50% downpayment before he starts each job and can start immediately
I will further negotiate his prices if you would like to proceed and if so which job would you like to start fist
Please advise
Thank you

Dear Mr. Kahn,
Thank you for sending me an e-mail letter requesting estimate to refinish Staircase from the first to the
second Floor, at
9 East 71 st Street in NY City.
Mr. Delacruze told me that the present carpet will be removed and the Stairs will need durable and long
lasting finish.
He told me that the Stairs will not be covered with carpet any more and the finish needs to withstand all
the traffic.

Having this on my mind, I suggest triple layer of the best varnish on the market. I also noticed that the
surface to be treated is
double the size of the doors. Still, I need to work from the erected scaffold to reach all carved side
decorations of the steps.
Thank you again for asking me to do the estimate,
Respectfully,
Brandon Thompson
