1st time Customers, please think twice!
Before engaging with us, talk to your property owner, buildings manager, rental agent, your husband's friend, the neighbor “the Board of directors” or your insurance provider first, before booking our Professionals to respond to ‘what we call an “invalid requests.” Even though its free to you, It stil takes time & have real costs to inspect & deliver a quotation.
Think more of us as a contractor supplier than a quote comparison service.
Our Contractors respond quick enough, Dont expect an imitate response and assume "next day delivery of service". We dont focus on emergency or after hour services.

What to expect from Contractors
It is the generally accepted to not pay more than 50% as deposit
or the minimum “cost of products” on larger projects with the remainder on
completion. Phased labour payments or Item completion payments are normally
used on lager projects. Never pay the full amount upfront, ever. Its just not
how its done.
Insist on an
Itemized quote!
A good Quotation will lay out the steps of progress with
prices attached.
Be careful of a “one overall” price as you simply do not know
what you are paying for. As the say “If it is not on the estimate, it was not
listed for delivery.
We have great trust in our contractors, We call them Trusted Tradespeople.
