I mix on my own time, get the mix the best it can be per your detailed notes and sonic references.
Mastering:
Every project needs mastering. It's the final step in making great music. A great mix can be killed by mastering or it can be enhanced to the next level. It's to the songs advantage to have an unbiased 'fresh ears' approach by a third party that has never heard the song before. Mastering will correct the overall spectral balance and average loudness between songs. It's also the feel, punch, and impact of the songs. The glue of all the mix elements.
If your project has the budget, I highly recommend a professional mastering engineer. I recommend all my projects to Marsh Mastering

I work with you to achieve the final sound. I do this for each song. Most sessions last all day. Bring your lab coat. Prepare to be impressed.
