| We keep our simple, labor plus parts & material. In most cases we In most cases we will not bid a job, however, we will offer the best estimate we can but it will only be an estimate. When you give a firm bid for doing any type of repair or service on this type of equipment, you must have a built in cushion to cover any unexpected problems that might arise. If no problems arise, the bidder comes out ahead and the customer loses, however, if major problems arise the bidder loses. Our policy is made to be fair for both parties concerned. After a project has been started and if any unexpected major problems should arise, the customer is always notified before work continues. We do our best to keep our customers informed. When we go to settle an account, we do not like unexpected surprises just as much as the customer. We can/will stop the restoration process at any time per the customers request. Should unexpected hardships occur, you are not locked in to finish to completion any project that is underway. We recognize that daily life brings unexpected obstacles along the way. We can delay or stop our services at your request should you find yourself in a difficult spot. |
