## What we do

Boat and yacht detailing for vessels 14 ft to 75 ft (the typical Mid-South range — runabouts, ski boats, bowriders, sport-fishers, cabin cruisers, motor yachts, and Mississippi-River houseboats). Three tiers:

- **Refresh** — from $11 / linear foot. Quick-turn cleaning between outings.
- **Detail** — from $22 / linear foot. The full hand-detail, inside and out, twice-a-year cadence.
- **Heritage** — from $38 / linear foot. Paint correction, ceramic coating, brightwork restoration, engine-bay detail, interior shampoo.

Add-ons (per foot): ceramic coating (+$16), teak / brightwork (+$12), oxidation removal (+$14), interior shampoo (+$8). Flat add-ons: engine-bay detail (+$275), bilge cleaning (+$185). Vessel condition multipliers apply (Light 1.0×, Moderate ~1.28×, Neglected ~1.62×). A 25% deposit holds the slot.

## Who runs the studio

Brightwork & Co. is an owner-operated practice. We do not subcontract; we answer our own phone. We accept a small number of vessels each week so the work is never rushed.

## What makes us different

- **By the foot, written.** A fixed quote at the slip — no second pricing sheet.
- **At your slip.** We work dockside; no tow, no hauling, no surprises.
- **Hand-finished.** Two-bucket wash; compound and polish by hand; varnish brushed, not sprayed.
- **A printed report card** at the end of every Heritage job: what we used, what we did, what to watch for next season.
- **Insured & bonded in Tennessee.**

## Common questions

- *Do you work on wooden boats?* — Yes. Brightwork restoration is a core specialty.
- *Do you do houseboats?* — Yes. The Wolf River silt is one of our specialties.
- *How often should I detail my boat?* — Twice a year is the rhythm we recommend for boats kept in Mississippi-River water.
- *Do you sell ceramic coating warranties?* — We apply 9H ceramic coatings (3–5 year life) but we are intentionally not in the warranty business.
