Frequently asked questions

Why a price range and not a fixed price?

Every property is different — a range reflects typical variation in size and condition. You'll always get a firm price before we start, not just an estimate.

Is there a minimum job fee?

Yes, $120 minimum callout (first hour) — this covers travel and setup for small jobs.

What's the half-day rate for?

$420 half-day rate (4 hrs) covers bundled jobs like our pre-sale fix-it bundle or rental bond tidy-up, where several small tasks are done in one visit.

Do you charge more for some Hills suburbs than others?

No, one flat rate across our entire Hills Shire service area.

Are quotes free?

Yes, always free and no obligation.
