4. Booking & Payment Policies

Consultation Required: All new clients must complete a phone or virtual consultation and send photos of the work area(s) prior to scheduling In-Home Services
Scheduling: Sessions must be booked at least 24 hours in advance with a start/end time within our working hours of 8am to 8pm. Sessions scheduled less than 24 hours in advance are subject to a $50 convenience fee. Sessions with start or end times outside the working hours of 8am to 8pm are subject to a $50 convenience fee for every hour outside the working hours
Maximum Session Length: Each In-Home Session can be scheduled for up to 6 hours. If you’d like more time, additional sessions can be booked separately.
60-day Expiration: All In-Home and Virtual Session packages must be used within 60 days of purchase. Unused sessions will expire after this period and no refunds will be issued
Deposit Required: A non-refundable deposit is required to book In-Home and Virtual Session packages. The deposit amount varies by package. The deposit is applied to the cost of your final session. If a cancellation or reschedule fee applies, it will be deducted from your deposit, and any remaining balance will still go toward your final session. If the deposit is used up with fees before the final session, another deposit will be required before the final session. See section 3 for pricing details
Payment Due:
- Virtual Sessions: full payment is due at the time of booking.
- In-Home Sessions: full payment for hours worked and any add-on services is due at the completion of service each day (does not apply to Five Day Blitz).
Refunds: All payments and deposits are non-refundable. This includes payments for unused sessions, completed sessions, partially used packages, and deposits for add-on services. Please book mindfully and communicate any scheduling issues as early as possible. See section 5 for Cancellation & Rescheduling
Time Adjustments:
- If your session finishes early due to the work being complete, you’ll be billed only for the time used at the hourly rate (subject to package conditions) plus applicable fees.
- If you wish to end the session before work is complete, the full cost of the session will still be due before we leave the premises.
- If you have purchased a multi-session package and wish to end the session before the 4-hour mark, the session will be billed at a rate of $75 an hour.
- If the session runs over, we’ll pause and confirm whether you’d like to continue at the hourly rate.

5. Cancellations & Rescheduling (does not apply to Five Day Blitz)

One reschedule or cancellation is allowed per In-Home or Virtual package without penalty as long as it is made more than 24 hours in advance.
Rescheduling or cancelling after the first reschedule or cancellation or within 24 hours of the appointment will incur a $50 convenience fee. This fee will be deducted from your deposit. See section 4 for how deposits are applied
No-shows or cancellations made within 24 hours of the appointment result in the session being forfeited and count as a missed session. Payments and deposits for forfeited sessions are non-refundable. For package sessions, pricing is based on completing the agreed number of sessions. If missed sessions bring your total below the package minimum, your account will be adjusted to reflect the correct rate for the number of sessions actually completed.
