Is the quote free?
Yes. Quotes are free and there is no obligation to go ahead.
Do you quote without seeing the job?
For many jobs, clear photos and descriptions are enough. For larger or unclear jobs, we may need to see the work first.

Yes. That is the most efficient way to work. We plan the visit around your full list.
What happens if you find something unexpected?
We stop and talk to you before doing any extra work.
