On mobile devices, each ledger row adapts into a self-contained structured technical card so terms remain clear down to 320px viewports.

| Inquiry Platform & Binding Order Formation | Nothing is sold or paid for directly on this website; every figure displayed is an estimate or benchmark rate, not a binding contract until confirmed by dispatch. This site functions exclusively as an inquiry, scope evaluation, and dispatch communication platform with no cart or payment gateway. Inquiries submitted via lakua57.php record name, phone, email, address, kind of enquiry, notes, requested spec, and consent tick, alongside automated technical parameters (IP address, browser user-agent, referring URL, render and submission timestamps). Support chat via cowua69.php maintains dialogue and a browser token. An order becomes binding only after: (1) inquiry submission with scope photos; (2) photo or on-site walk-through inspection; (3) written or digital quote with all-in upfront pricing and payment terms; and (4) customer affirmative written or dispatch confirmation. | Protects customers from unintended financial obligations and ensures every physical job is professionally reviewed before dispatching tools and crew. |
| Clause & Standard | Plain-Language Meaning | Operational Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing Benchmarks & Upfront Rate Determination | All prices are quoted and billed in United States Dollars (USD) according to confirmed baseline benchmarks: Minor Repairs ($35–$108/hr depending on technical trade difficulty); Discrete Tasks ($65–$150/job for standard fixture and hardware swaps); Move-Out Cleaning ($150–$350/property based on area and appliance condition); Deep Cleaning ($140–$300/property); and Post-Construction Cleanup ($200–$450/property). Binding quotes depend strictly on six operator criteria: (1) total scope of work; (2) physical access (ground floor vs. multi-story stair carries); (3) baseline condition of framing, surfaces, or fixtures; (4) weight and cubic volume of waste materials; (5) Ward County municipal transfer station tipping fees and fuel expenses; and (6) verified inspection details confirmed by customer photos or on-site evaluation. Accepted quotes do not increase unless the customer requests additional scope or uncovers hidden dry rot or structural faults not visible during inspection. | Provides predictable upfront financial transparency and eliminates post-job surprise surcharges for travel, staging, or basic tool deployment. |
Operational Standards & Site Responsibilities
The following ledger table outlines specific site rules, waste surcharges, unforeseen condition protocols, and scheduling terms enforced on every dispatch order.
| Clause & Standard | Plain-Language Meaning | Operational Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Upfront Pricing Lock | We provide an all-inclusive dollar figure before starting work. You will never receive an unexpected invoice for basic travel, tool usage, or unannounced service charges. | Protects property owners from runaway hourly totals and requires explicit financial sign-off prior to tool mobilization. |
| 2. Site Access & Clear Path | The customer must provide unobstructed access to the work area, including unlocked gates, functioning entry codes, clear interior hallways, and active 120V electricity and water. | Demolition equipment and HEPA vacuum lines require safe staging corridors to prevent interior damage. |
| 3. Transfer Station & Tipping Fees | Waste hauling quotes include estimated landfill disposal fees based on gross tonnage and municipal surcharges. Hazardous chemicals, tires, and freon units carry regulated disposal fees. | Ward County transfer stations enforce strict recycling guidelines and surcharge non-compliant or mixed heavy loads. |
| 4. Unforeseen Concealed Conditions | If opening a wall, ceiling, or subfloor exposes active plumbing leaks, rotted structural framing, or ungrounded knob-and-tube wiring, work stops immediately for owner review and written addendum. | Avoids building code violations, keeps occupants safe, and prevents hidden structural rot from being superficially sealed. |
| 5. Customer-Furnished Fixtures | When you purchase your own faucets, ceiling fans, or light fixtures for us to mount, you are responsible for confirming all mounting brackets, trim rings, and components are complete inside the box. | Avoids job delays and secondary trip charges caused by missing manufacturer parts or defective off-the-shelf retail hardware. |
| 6. Cancellation & Rescheduling | Appointments may be rescheduled or cancelled without fee up to 24 hours prior to the scheduled dispatch window. Cancellations under 24 hours incur a $50 truck mobilization fee. | Same-week scheduling reserves a dedicated vehicle, trailer, and craftsman time slot that cannot easily be rebooked on short notice. |
| 7. Metal Scrap Salvage & Recycling | Unless explicitly retained by the owner in writing prior to teardown, non-structural copper pipe, aluminum siding, brass valves, and steel beams removed during clean-outs become Deacon property for recycling. | Allows us to offset customer hauling costs by diverting recyclable metals from regional landfills to certified metal scrap processors. |
| 8. Post-Clean Inspection Window | For turnover and post-construction cleanups, the owner or property agent must conduct a walk-through inspection within 24 hours of job completion to sign off or flag punch items. | Keeps tenant deposit inspections and landlord handovers prompt while site dust conditions remain unaltered by outside contractors. |
| Clause & Standard | Plain-Language Meaning | Operational Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| 30-Day Workmanship Guarantee & Remedy Scope | Deacon Recycling & Handyman Service LLC backs all labor with an explicit 30-day workmanship guarantee. If a drywall tape seam blisters, an interior door latch binds, a caulked seal separates, or an installed P-trap drips within 30 calendar days of job sign-off, we return to rectify the defect at zero labor cost to you. Exclusions: manufacturer hardware defects in customer-supplied fixtures, normal building settlement cracks in high-vibration zones, pre-existing roof/pipe water damage, or physical abuse, vandalism, or unauthorized alterations occurring after crew departure. Priority same-week dispatch is assigned upon photo notice to (701) 389-1754 or [email protected]. | Provides a formal contractual remedy for installation defects while distinguishing craftsman craftsmanship from third-party product manufacturing flaws or uninspected pre-existing building settlement. |

|---|---|---|
| Order Cancellation & Service Termination Rights | We reserve the right to decline, cancel, or suspend services or online communication at our discretion for safety violations or non-compliance.
