Disclaimers

Fall Protection Required (safety)

In order to follow industry regulations and to keep our employees safe, your project requires fall protection for workers. This requires two employees onsite while height work is performed. It also requires specialized equipment up to harnesses and fall protection gear. In some cases this equipment must be secured to your home or business. In any event, we will work to limit penetration into the roof or other materials for anchor points and when removed seal with high quality sealants.

Lead Paint Disclosure (safety)

Due to the age of the home if more than 6 square feet of paint inside and 20 sq feet exterior is disturbed, paint must be tested for lead. Though very unlikely, if lead is found to be present per EPA a certified company must demo and clean up any dust. We are certified for this but not currently performing such work. We would refer an environmental company to demo and clean and then we would come to finish the work.

Ceiling Repairs (materials)

Ceiling texture patch will not match, but be as close as possible. The only way to match ceiling texture is to re-texture the entire ceiling and that is not included in this estimate unless specifically noted. Often with ceiling repair work the entire ceiling needs to be painted for a color match. Painting is not included in this estimate unless noted specifically for touch up or full ceiling painting. Repaired stress cracks can not be warrantied without structural reinforcement which is not included in this estimate.

Technology and Software (warranty)

Ace Handyman Services specializes in construction services and does not provide technology or software-related solutions. We do not offer IT consulting or support. Customers with technology needs are advised to consult specialized firms or customer service for the technology affected by this project. Ace Handyman Services is not responsible for such matters.

Concrete and Masonry Repairs (warranty)

Due to the nature of concrete and masonry repairs, they cannot be warrantied for cracking and further deterioration. Matching colors and texture is not possible but will be as close as possible. If you have any questions regarding options and your specific project please be sure to let us know.
