If all specifications are correct, then we ask that you sign your proposal, and send it back to us with your required deposit. We are glad to accept, checks, cash as well as credit cards.* (*small processing fee may apply for all credit card transactions)
Once a signed proposal and deposit have been received, we will begin to process the order and schedule. Please note whatever lead time had been discussed and agreed upon begins once initial payment is received.
If your order is to be sent via LTL freight, we are glad to provide a freight quote at the time the order is placed. However, we do not and cannot guarantee that price at a later date, as we are at the mercy of constantly fluctuating freight costs.
For material only jobs, the outstanding balance on the order must be paid either when the order is picked up, or before the arranged ship date.
