Once an order is placed on our website, we review it and will give you a call within one business day to obtain property details. On that call we will set a due date, confirm the property address, as well as get any access or important information required to complete the order. We then process the order and dispatch it to our closest network professional for completion.

We personally call every order that is placed to schedule and obtain access information when needed. At that time, we do our best to set a due date as close to your requested date as possible. Due to weather or other potential travel delays, we give you a range so our contractors can plan ahead and do not have to rush through work at your property. Many times, work is completed before the actual due date.

Payment is taken at time of order, but can be refunded at any time due to the particular circumstance.

Your personal information is never sold, and our payment system is backed by Shopify’s SSL certificate that uses industry standard 256-bit encryption technology. 256-bit is same level of encryption used by large banks to keep your financial information secure.
