Insurance Coverage

We are licensed, covered by WCB and carry $2,000,000 liability insurance.

 


Our "No Surprises" Guarantee

We guarantee that there will be no surprise charges added to you bill, period.  

We disclose all charges ahead of time which means you know exactly how much we charge for our services.

If we find anything during your job that was unforeseen at the time of your written quote, we will notify you immediately and only proceed according to your wishes. 


Written Estimates

We charge $62.50 to do a site visit and to provide you with a written quote for your project.  This fee is deducted from the total cost of your job when you hire us and covers our time and fuel costs.

Free Quotes and Estimates

Verbal consultations and quotes are free.

Materials and Equipment Rentals

Materials, consumables and equipment rentals are billed as extra items.  We charge 25% on any materials we purchase for your project.  This surcharge covers our time and fuel costs.

Clients may choose to supply their own materials; however, please realise that there are limitations on the performance of certain products.  For example, there are many grades of paint.  If you feel that you can save a few dollars by selecting a less expensive paint, you may find that the savings will be spent needlessly on our labour by having to apply a 2nd or 3rd coat.


Flat Pricing

We also give quotes by the job and per square foot.  Please contact us for more details.
