Rescheduling: You may reschedule your appointment for a different day within 2 weeks of your original date, subject to availability, with at least 48 hours' notice. Appointments not rescheduled within 48 hours will be subject to a surcharge of 50% of the total job cost up to $300 to offset the cost of setting up a lost appointment. Deposits are non-refundable. Once we book you, we turn away potential clients for that time frame to ensure we can serve you our best work. All appointments will be booked after your deposit is paid or the job is prepaid in full. We do not offer refunds, once the job is booked and the deposit is paid. A credit for future services may be offered.
Pests: OWTO Service Group does not service any home or building with active infestations. This includes roaches, fleas, lice, bed bugs, mice, rats, or any other potentially transferable pests. We do this to protect ourselves, and you the client. If we discover an infestation during the process of your requested work there will be a fee of up to $1500 to cover lost or damaged equipment. This depends on what equipment we have onsite. For example a basic cleaning kit would amount to a $285 loss, This is the amount we will charge to the job to replace our equipment. We take safety and cleanliness very seriously and all equipment with us would need to be discarded.
OWTO Service Group reserves the right to deem a job as complete when all contractual obligations have been completed to our high level of standards according to company policies. Extra days, hours, or services would need to be preapproved as a separate job. We do not add additional work to preapproved work orders.

Extra Services: If you require extra services or additional cleaning on your scheduled cleaning day, please contact us 48 hours in advance so we may allow the extra time and/or employees needed at your home or business.

Environment: To help us properly clean your home we will need access to water, electricity, and climate control of a minimum of 60 degrees and a maximum of 75 degrees to ensure the safety of our employees and to ensure proper drying and setting of different procedures. Temperatures that are outside these parameters will cause slowdowns which may lead to additional charges. Cleanouts may not be held to these standards depending on many factors.
Weather: Please make sure your home is safely accessible at all times. Please make sure there is no snow, ice, or excessive leaf build-up that could cause slips or accidents. If your home is inaccessible when we arrive it will be considered as a last-minute reschedule and your deposit will be forfeited. A new deposit will need to be made to reschedule.
