Terms and Conditions
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing this website, requesting information, or engaging home services through the website, you agree to these Terms & Conditions. If you do not agree with these terms, please discontinue use of the website and services.
2. Website Information
Information provided on this website is intended for general informational purposes. Service descriptions, images, estimates, availability, materials, and other details may change without prior notice.
3. Service Agreements
A service arrangement becomes effective when the requested work, pricing, scope, and applicable conditions have been confirmed or agreed upon in writing. Any project-specific agreement may contain additional terms that apply to the requested work.
4. User Responsibilities
You agree to provide accurate and complete information about your property, requested services, access requirements, and known conditions that may affect the work. You are responsible for providing reasonable access to the property and securing valuable or fragile belongings before work begins.
5. Property Conditions
Existing structural issues, hidden damage, unsafe conditions, defective installations, pests, moisture, or other conditions discovered during work may require additional assessment or corrective work. Such conditions may affect the original scope, cost, or schedule.
6. Estimates and Pricing
Quotes and estimates are based on the information available at the time they are prepared and remain subject to the stated validity period. Final pricing may change when the scope of work, materials, site conditions, or customer requirements change.
7. Changes to the Work
Requests to add, remove, or modify work may require a revised estimate or written approval. Additional work should not be assumed to be included in the original scope unless it has been expressly agreed upon.
8. Scheduling and Delays
Service dates may be affected by weather, permits, inspections, material availability, supplier delays, property access, unexpected site conditions, or circumstances outside reasonable control. Where practical, revised scheduling information will be provided.
9. Materials and Substitutions
Materials may be subject to availability. Where an agreed material becomes unavailable, a comparable alternative may be proposed for approval. Product specifications, colors, finishes, and availability may vary between suppliers and manufacturers.
10. Payments
Payment terms, deposits, milestones, balances, and applicable charges will be communicated before or during the service arrangement. Failure to make required payments may result in suspension, rescheduling, or termination of work where permitted.
11. Warranties
Any workmanship warranty will apply only to the extent stated in the applicable service agreement. Manufacturer warranties for supplied products may be subject to separate terms and conditions. Warranties generally do not cover misuse, neglect, unauthorized modifications, accidental damage, or normal wear and deterioration.
12. Customer-Provided Materials
Where customers provide materials, fixtures, appliances, or other products, responsibility for compatibility, condition, specifications, and manufacturer requirements remains with the customer unless otherwise agreed in writing.
13. Site Safety
Customers must disclose known hazards and maintain reasonable access and safe working conditions. Work may be delayed or suspended if conditions present a significant safety concern or prevent the requested service from being performed appropriately.
14. Limitation of Liability
To the extent permitted by applicable law, liability arising from services will be limited to the scope and value of the applicable service agreement. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited.
15. Cancellation and Termination
Service appointments or projects may be cancelled or terminated subject to any applicable cancellation terms, notice requirements, outstanding payments, and costs already incurred. Either party may seek termination where the other party materially breaches an applicable agreement and fails to reasonably remedy the breach.
16. Third-Party Services
Certain services may involve independent contractors, manufacturers, suppliers, technicians, or other third parties. Their work may be subject to separate terms, warranties, availability, and service conditions.
