We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason at any time. We may modify or discontinue any service without notice.

2. Estimates and Contracts

• All project estimates are free and non-binding unless converted into a signed contract.

• Any changes to the agreed scope of work must be documented in a written change order signed by both parties.
• A1S Contracting reserves the right to adjust pricing if site conditions differ materially from those described at the time of estimate.
