Yes, particularly if the work is inside your home. Your presence helps ensure things are done correctly and to your satisfaction. However, that’s not necessarily the case if we’re cleaning your windows or fixing a gate. But ultimately, we know schedules can be difficult to coordinate, so we’re happy to let ourselves in pending a key release waiver.
Any appointment canceled less than 24 hours prior to the service start time will incur a $50.00 flat fee. Any appointment that is confirmed, we show up, and a user is not present will incur a $100.00 flat fee. Additionally, Goodsmith reserves the right to charge an additional $50 per hour of canceled service.
Maintaining and caring for your home involves a combination of regular tasks and seasonal checks to ensure everything is functioning properly. Start with routine tasks such as changing air filters every months, checking smoke and carbon monoxide detectors twice a year, and cleaning your gutters at least once a year. Additionally, inspect your plumbing for leaks and your roof for signs of damage. Seasonal maintenance is crucial, so prepare your HVAC system before the heating or cooling seasons, winterize outdoor faucets before freezing temperatures, and assess your garden for any necessary fall cleanup. To help you stay organized, you can use the free home care to-do list we’ve created, which you can easily download. This list will guide you through essential tasks and keep your home in great shape. If you need assistance, Goodsmith is here to help with both guidance and professional services.
