We charge $110 Canadian per hour for our time on location (Weekdays starting at location from 9:30-3:00). All other weekday times we charge: $135/hour. Weekends: We charge $150/hr (assuming that we are available and willing to work that particular weekend). Plus applicable taxes.

Understandably, the exact cost on a per item basis does vary, depending upon the item. In general, if we are determining the value of numerous items (i.e. fifty) the approximate costs breaks down to be several (5-12) items per hour. If you only have a few items (i.e. one through three) you will be charged an hour minimum. If you have seven to twelve items expect to be charged about 2 hours (more or less). Please note, sets (i.e. living room set of furniture, or set of silver flatware) although listed as a solitary item, do often take longer.

For clients in Ottawa, and the immediate area we do not charge for travel. For clients a considerable distance from Ottawa, we do charge $50/hr for travel, after the first half hour from the outskirts of Ottawa.

Financial institutions such as banks,credit unions, trustees, lawyers, baliffs and others who need to ascertain the value fine art and/or antiques, for the purposes of determining the value as an asset for loan security or other purposes.

In such cases we will go to your client's residence (or other location), take photographs of the item and write down all the details. We will then provide you with a written valuation of the items, as determined by their market value minus the estimated cost of disposal.
