General information
Baseboards and quarter-rounds don’t hinder our work. However, minor paint touch-ups might be required once the job is over.
To prevent the spread of dust and depending on the scope of the work and configuration of the premises, we recommend you use a protective cover. Alternatively, we can also take care of that upon request. We will likely have to open doors to tackle a doorway or doorstep. In such cases, we will make sure to limit the spread of dust to adjacent rooms.
