Storefront Mastery · Pricing schedule 2026–2027
Storefront Mastery is a downtown experience strategy practice. We work with special improvement districts, BIDs, Main Street programs, and municipalities to give people more reasons to visit a downtown, stay longer, and come back.
The work sits where the single business meets the district: storefronts, customer experience, business clusters, and the rules that govern what owners can build. We diagnose the street, find the few moves with the most leverage, and carry them toward visible change. Founded in 2019 by architect and urbanist Jaime J. Izurieta, based in Montclair, New Jersey.
This page lists what every service costs, so you can plan a budget, compare options, and bring a number to your board before we talk. Every price is fixed. Nothing is billed by the hour unless you ask for advisory time. For projects, writing, and books, visit storefrontmastery.com.
01 · How pricing works
This page covers four kinds of work: the Flagship Program for districts, Storefront Accelerators for individual businesses, code reform for municipalities, and facilitation and advice. Every price is fixed and listed here.
Flagship ProgramFor districts
Code reformFor municipalities
Storefront AcceleratorFor businesses
The logic is the same on every track. The first step is small enough to approve quickly, and it shows you what the larger step would fix. If you continue within six months, its full fee comes off the next step, so you never pay twice for the same ground. Accelerators work on their own or as the follow-on to the Flagship Program, for the storefronts its scorecards flag.

Prices apply within 75 minutes' drive of Montclair, New Jersey. Travel beyond that is listed under terms.
Businesses
One document per business that carries a storefront from diagnosis to a contractor-ready brief: what the street sees today, the design and experience recommendations, and the implementation guidelines a general contractor, sign maker, or fabricator can price and build from. Batch pricing applies when several storefronts are contracted together.
| Storefronts in one contract | Price per storefront | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $4,500 | 1 storefront: $4,500 |
| 2 to 4 | $3,950 | 4 storefronts: $15,800 |
| 5 to 8 | $3,450 | 5 storefronts: $17,250 |
| 9 or more | $2,950 | 10 storefronts: $29,500 |
Code reform
For towns that believe their code works. A section-by-section read of your signage, storefront, facade, and design-review rules against what the street actually shows, with ten photographs of compliant outcomes that fail the street, a permit-path timeline, and a one-page friction score.
A rewrite of one commercial district's signage, storefront, facade, and design-review provisions: section-by-section diagnosis, recommendations, draft ordinance language for your municipal attorney, and business-facing guidelines.
Facilitation and advice
A full on-site working day with stakeholders to design a block, a cluster, or a pilot. Preparation for a single day is included.
Extra meetings and ongoing advice for districts that want a second set of eyes between projects.
For challenges that do not fit a standard service. Drawing on more than 20 years of experience in city design, economic development, and historic preservation, we scope the work around your question and quote a fixed fee before we start.
