SITE VISIT CONSULTATION
A Site visit allows us to discuss design considerations for your new or existing system &
includes inspection with expert recommendations tailored to your project.
Site visit evaluation & travel are charged at $125 per hour,
& enables us to gather valuable specific information in order to provide an accurate free estimate
ESTIMATES
After discussion & evaluation regarding aspects & requirements,
