Snow Depth Maximum: A snow event within a 24-hour period has a 12-inch depth maximum included in our price. Extra charges will apply to the labour component to snow events over 12”.

Geotechnical Soil and/or Ground Water Testing Policy
In the absence of geotechnical soil and/or ground water testing prior to estimation and installation we can not warranty the accuracy of any estimate of installation and materials cost or the installation of a customer approved design. Our cost estimation and installation are based upon generally accepted installation methods based on typical dry and non-expansive soils in our area. The owner is advised to consult professionals in the field of geotechnical design and/or ground water testing and if we are provided with such professional report it will be taken into account in the estimation and installation processes and will greatly improve the quality of both processes. In the absence of such a report we are unable to and will not assume any liability for any damages or costs the customer may incur due to issues arising from those factors [soil or water conditions] which are not known to us at the time of estimation and/or installation. We pride ourselves in our estimation skills and workmanship but in the absence of professional input on these issues, they are beyond our control and will possibly impact the accuracy of our estimate and the quality of our installation in a negative way.
