Before the Visit
You send a list and photos or describe the jobs by phone. We sort them, estimate the time and tell you which parts and tools to bring. If something needs a specialist, we say so.
Expect an arrival window and a quick confirmation before we head over.
During the Visit
We walk the list with you, protect floors and furniture, then work through the jobs in an efficient order. If we find something unexpected, we show you and explain your options before going further.
Small extras are often added on the spot if time allows.
After the Visit
We clean up, haul away debris and walk you through what was done. Anything left over is scheduled, and you get a short note with what we found and anything to watch.
Keep the note with your records. It is useful for the next visit and for selling.
