Are You Exposed?
Unfortunately, we have all heard the horror story about the homeowner who comes back home after a long day of work only to find that his toilet is leaking and his master bedroom is flooded. The homeowner recalls today is a Tuesday, the scheduled day that the cleaning service has been cleaning his home for the past 9 months, and comes to the conclusion that cleaning service is responsible for the flood. He found the service in the local newspaper at an unbeatable price, but he did not inquire about licensing or insurance. After fighting with the cleaning service for hours, the homeowner realizes the damage caused to the home is his responsibility because the service has no insurance.Theme Park Discounts & Special Offers Available for GHMS Customers
