This Privacy Policy explains how personal information may be collected, used, stored, and protected when you visit our website, request a service, submit an enquiry, or interact with our home service offerings.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, phone number, property address, preferred appointment time, service requirements, project details, and other information needed to understand your request.
We may also collect limited technical information automatically, including your browser type, device type, approximate location, IP address, pages viewed, referral source, and general website activity.

Your information may be used to respond to enquiries, understand your project requirements, prepare estimates, arrange consultations or site visits, schedule services, coordinate appointments, provide updates, and deliver requested home improvement or maintenance services.
Information may also be used to improve our website, services, customer experience, communications, and internal operations.
3. Service and Project Information
When you request a home service, we may retain information about your property, selected service, project requirements, measurements, preferences, appointment history, and relevant communications. This information helps us provide accurate estimates and coordinate requested work.
4. Cookies and Similar Technologies
We may use essential cookies and similar technologies to support website functionality, maintain preferences, and improve security. Optional analytics technologies may help us understand website usage and identify areas that can be improved.
You can manage or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect some website features.
5. Communications
We may use the information you provide to communicate about enquiries, appointments, estimates, service updates, project coordination, and other matters related to your requested services.
Where marketing communications are offered, you may choose whether to receive them and may withdraw your marketing preference at any time.
6. Information Sharing
We may share limited information with service providers, scheduling partners, technology providers, communication platforms, contractors, or other parties involved in delivering requested services.
Information is shared only when reasonably necessary for the relevant purpose, and service providers are expected to handle information appropriately and protect it from unauthorized access.

Access to personal information is limited to individuals and service providers who require it for legitimate business or service-related purposes.
