Q: What happens if the technician is unable to successfully resolve the issue they came to service?

A: We do everything in our power to ensure this doesn't occur. We try to thoroughly understand your issue before coming to your home, and we attempt to give you a full sense of what can be done at that time. If the problem is different than originally described, the technician will perform a new inspection and provide a revised quote. If you choose not to proceed with the work as newly quoted, a fee will be charged for the on-site visit.

-
Q: Why do you need photos of my furniture?
-
A: So that we can accurately assess the damage and give you the most accurate quote.
