Grout Repairs on Existing Tiles

Grout repairs on existing tiles are excluded from our workmanship warranty. Due to potential pre-existing conditions, such as substrate movement, aging materials, or prior installations that may not meet current standards, repairs on existing tile grout cannot be guaranteed. Only new tile installations are covered under our craftsmanship warranty. Please note that when carrying heavy items across tiled floors, such as new countertops, or new or old appliances, the weight could cause the floor to deflect, causing issues with your tiled floor, and this will be beyond our warranty program. Please contact on ideas on how best to manage this, when it comes time to carry in our out appliances or heavy items

Under no circumstances shall Gillespie Handyman Services Inc. be liable for incidental or consequential damages arising from the use of its services.

Additional Notes

Soffit, Fascia, and Siding

We will match color and style on siding, soffits, and fascia as closely as possible, subject to availability with the manufacturer. Color matches on existing soffits, fascia, and siding cannot be guaranteed due to weathering factors and the manufacturers’ selection of stock. If the available color installed does not meet your satisfaction, we would be available to paint the material with a color match from the existing product for an additional cost as noted on your estimate.

Parging

The color of the new parging will not match your existing parging exactly. If uneven color is present, new parging can be stained/sealed, after allowing a curing time of approximately one month. If you would like an estimate on staining/sealing cost, please let us know.
