We will also process legally recognized browser-based opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control, where required by applicable law.

Even after unsubscribing from marketing, we may continue sending non-promotional communications related to an estimate, appointment, project, payment, warranty, safety matter, or existing customer relationship.
Telephone Calls
You may ask us not to make marketing calls to your number. This will not prevent us from contacting you when necessary to respond to a request or provide an existing service.

When you choose to communicate with us by text or opt in to receive text messages, message and data rates may apply. Message frequency may vary.
You may opt out of marketing text messages by replying STOP. You may receive a final message confirming your opt-out. Opting out of marketing messages will not necessarily prevent transactional or service-related messages where permitted by law.
Consent to receive marketing text messages is not a condition of purchasing goods or services.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.
These safeguards may include access controls, secure systems, encryption, employee training, vendor management, and other security practices appropriate to the nature of the information.
