drhabermd HomesThese Terms of Use govern access to drhabermd.com and describe how drhabermd Homes provides information about residential renovation, repair, and improvement services. By browsing the site, submitting forms, or engaging our studio for planning or construction, you agree to the conditions below. If you do not agree, discontinue use of the website and notify us before any paid work begins so we can clarify alternatives.
About these terms and our services
drhabermd Homes offers design consultation, estimating, project management, and coordination of licensed trades for home improvement projects. Website content is educational: it explains typical processes for kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, carpentry, painting, and related upgrades. Nothing on the site constitutes a binding quote until confirmed in a signed agreement with explicit scope, price, schedule, and payment terms. Oral promises made during informal chats are not enforceable unless captured in that written contract or a formal change order signed by both parties.
We reserve the right to update these Terms to reflect new service lines, revised business practices, or legal requirements. The effective date at the top of this page will change when revisions occur. Continued use after updates constitutes acceptance. For active construction contracts, the terms in effect at signing govern that project unless both parties agree in writing to adopt newer language for specific clauses.
Eligibility and acceptable use
You must be at least eighteen years old and able to enter contracts to request on-site services. Property owners should confirm that anyone submitting forms on their behalf has authority to discuss renovations and access the home. You agree not to misuse the website by attempting unauthorized access, scraping content for competing directories, uploading malware, or harassing staff through repeated abusive messages. Automated bots may not submit contact forms. We may block addresses that violate these rules without notice.
Content you submit through forms must be accurate to the best of your knowledge. Misdescribed conditions—such as failing to mention known asbestos, prior water damage, or unpermitted structures—can invalidate estimates and may lead to contract termination if discovered later. You remain responsible for disclosing homeowner association rules, heritage restrictions, or rental agreements that affect construction hours and material choices.
Estimates, pricing pages, and contracts
Published pricing tiers illustrate common planning packages and baseline construction bundles. Actual costs depend on measurements, material selections, structural discoveries, and scheduling constraints unique to your property. An estimate expires on the date stated in the document; material market shifts or code updates may require refreshed numbers before work begins. Deposits, progress payments, and retainage are defined only in signed contracts. Late payments may pause work and incur reasonable administrative fees described in your agreement.
Change orders document scope adjustments. No additional work beyond the signed scope will be performed without your written approval except for emergency measures necessary to protect persons, property, or compliance with building officials when you are unreachable. Emergency work will be billed fairly and explained as soon as practical. If you decline a recommended safety correction, you may be asked to acknowledge the risk in writing before we continue other tasks.
Schedules, access, and site conditions
Construction schedules are plans, not guarantees. Weather, supply delays, inspection availability, and hidden conditions can shift dates. We communicate revisions promptly and prioritize life-safety sequences such as temporary heat, dry-in, or secure lockup. You agree to provide timely access, utilities, and a safe path for crews. Pets must be secured. Valuables should be removed from work zones. Children and visitors must stay clear of active areas. Failure to maintain access may incur standby charges or rescheduling fees stated in your contract.
You are responsible for maintaining insurance on the property unless your contract assigns specific coverage to drhabermd Homes for our operations. We carry commercial liability and workers compensation for our employees and subcontracted partners as required by law. Certificate requests are handled through your project lead. If you require additional insured endorsements, notify us before work starts so underwriting can be arranged where available.
Warranties and workmanship standards
drhabermd Homes warrants workmanship according to the period and remedies specified in your project agreement. Manufacturer warranties cover defects in materials when registered properly; we assist with documentation but cannot extend manufacturer limits. Normal wear, improper maintenance, modifications by others, or damage after handover are excluded. Warranty service requests should include photos and a description of the issue. We will schedule inspections and, when valid, repair or replace at no additional labour charge within the warranty window.
Implied warranties not expressly stated are disclaimed to the extent permitted by applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers; in those cases, statutory rights remain. Nothing in these Terms limits liability for fraud or willful misconduct. For permitted limitations, our aggregate liability arising from website use or services shall not exceed the fees you paid for the specific project giving rise to the claim during the twelve months before the event.
Intellectual property and content
Text, graphics, logos, and layout on drhabermd.com are owned by drhabermd Homes or licensed for our use. You may print pages for personal planning but may not republish them commercially, mirror the site, or remove attribution. Project photos we take remain our portfolio assets unless your contract grants privacy restrictions you request in writing before photography occurs. Custom drawings prepared for your job are licensed for construction on your property; reuse on other sites requires our permission.
If you provide inspiration images or third-party plans, you represent that you have rights to share them. We are not liable for infringement claims arising from materials you supply. Suggestions you offer during design sessions may be incorporated into deliverables without additional compensation unless a separate innovation agreement exists.
Communications and marketing
Submitting a contact form or subscribing to updates consent to electronic communication about your inquiry, project, or newsletter topics. You can unsubscribe from marketing using the link provided or the unsubscribe page. Transactional messages related to safety, scheduling, or billing may still arrive during an active project. We do not sell email lists. Referral partners receive only the minimum information necessary when you ask us to coordinate with them explicitly.
Third-party products and links
Our site may link to social sharing tools or suppliers for your convenience. We do not control those destinations and are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. Fixture and material selections often involve third-party brands; performance claims follow manufacturer literature. Installation compliance with local codes remains our responsibility when those items are within scope; product defects are handled through warranty channels described above.
Dispute resolution and governing framework
We prefer to resolve concerns through direct conversation with your project lead and, if needed, a principal of the studio. Document issues promptly so field conditions can be observed. If informal resolution fails, your contract may specify mediation or arbitration before litigation. Where no contract exists, parties agree to attempt good-faith negotiation for at least thirty days after a written notice of dispute. Courts or tribunals with jurisdiction over our principal place of business may hear matters not subject to arbitration, unless consumer protection laws grant you local forum rights.
Class action waivers may apply where enforceable. Severability keeps remaining clauses active if one provision is invalid. Failure to enforce a term once does not waive future enforcement. Headings are for convenience only and do not alter interpretation.
Home improvement specific acknowledgements
Renovation inherently involves dust, noise, and temporary loss of use for some rooms. We follow containment protocols but cannot eliminate all disturbance. Lead, mold, asbestos, or pest issues discovered during demolition may require specialized remediation by others. Structural engineering may be required when openings expand or loads change; those fees are quoted separately when triggered. Energy performance improvements depend on existing envelope conditions; we do not promise specific utility savings unless a formal energy audit contract states modeled results.
Smart devices and connected fixtures rely on your network and vendor cloud continuity. We configure equipment to manufacturer instructions on handover day but cannot guarantee future firmware changes. Outdoor work may be weather dependent; cured concrete, paint, and adhesive products require temperature and humidity within manufacturer ranges. You agree to maintain finished surfaces according to care guides we provide—sealing grout, oiling butcher block, or cleaning filters on schedule—to preserve appearance and function.
Permits and inspections, when required, are obtained as stated in your contract. You cooperate with officials and provide access for re-inspections. Non-compliant legacy work exposed during our project may need correction before new work passes inspection; such correction may increase cost and duration. If you instruct us to defer permitted work, you accept responsibility for compliance risks.
