SERVICES
Room by Color provides architectural services for apartment renovations in New York City. Our services include:
Consulting. Remote architectural consulting service where we field architectural inquiries from you, with no long-term contractual obligation to develop any project beyond our preliminary opinions and/or sketches. Opinions and sketches are based on preliminary project information and require further development.
Starter Drawing Set. Basic architectural drawings documenting the project's scope of work that forms the basis for further project development. You are responsible for providing us an accurate survey of your space.
Construction Documents. Optional supplementary service to the Starter Drawing Set to furnish essential construction notes, dimensions, and architectural details relevant to the room and its essential function. We will also coordinate our drawings with other consultants.
Permit Set. Optional supplementary service to the Starter Drawing Set to prepare drawings and documents for a building permit application. We assume the role of your project's architect of record and filing representative to the building department with responsibilities to certify project compliance with approved permit documents.
Design Kit. Packaged room designs with essential drawings and product information for you to purchase the design's fixtures and finishes from third-party vendors. All purchase orders, including those executed on your behalf, are contracts between you and the third-party vendor.
Purchasing Agent Service. Optional supplementary service to the Design Curation to order fixtures and finishes on your behalf from our third-party vendor network.
Fees, terms and conditions for each service are governed by its own service agreement with you. We review each project for fitness with our services prior to accepting the project. We reserve the right to decline any project for any reason. We may request additional information from you and modify our services depending on your project's requirements. We begin our services when we receive the requisite payment and/or signed agreement.
Deliveries. You are responsible for coordinating the vendors' deliveries with your designated mover or contractor. Unless otherwise noted, products from purchase orders are delivered to the project address on record and must be received and signed by you. Upon delivery, you are responsible for safely transporting and storing the delivered products. Some products are only delivered to the curbside ("sidewalk delivery"), in which case you are responsible for hiring a qualified mover to safely transport them to a designated storage area. You are responsible for immediately inspecting all deliveries upon arrival for damages prior to accepting the deliveries, and to document any damages and report them immediately (within 48 hours of delivery) to the vendor, the delivery company, and to us if we are your purchasing agent.
You are responsible for obtaining all necessary approvals to safely transport or store the delivered products. Room by Color is not responsible for additional costs, delays, damages, or penalties resulting from your failure to hire a qualified mover or your failure to obtain the necessary approvals. You are responsible for all associated moving and storage costs, including but not limited to costs associated with labor, equipment, storage, permits, and insurance. You are responsible for following the appropriate care and storage instructions from the vendor or manufacturer.
Return and Refund Policy. We do not offer refunds for services and deliverables already performed or transmitted. No refunds allowed for the Design Curation once the list of fixtures and finishes have been conveyed to you.
Return, refund or replacement of products from purchase orders, whether damaged, defective or otherwise, are subject to the warranty and return policies of the product's respective vendor and manufacturer. We do not guarantee the satisfactory resolution of your claim with the vendor or manufacturer. At your request, we shall furnish relevant records for your claim with the vendor or manufacturer. We reserve the right to retain our compensation for services already performed, regardless of any returns, refunds or other resolutions reached between you and the vendor or manufacturer.

Room by Color is not a contractor, retailer, vendor, or manufacturer of building products and cannot guarantee the any estimated price as listed on the Site nor guarantee the quality and availability of any product or third-party services we recommend.
