Important Note: While we are here to guide and assist you throughout your project, it is the responsibility of each client to ensure compliance with all rules and to obtain the agreement of their neighbors if necessary. Unless otherwise specified in the contract, obtaining the permit remains the client's responsibility. However, rest assured that we are always by your side to help and guide you through every step of your project.
Thank you for your trust, and we look forward to working with you to make your home more comfortable.
Warm regards,
