Current Client- Service Request
Accepting YOUR ESTIMATE:
In order to confirm an installation date with Santa’s Helpers Inc. (SHI) for/in the current season, a $200 down payment (going toward your balance) is required every season, along with an accepted/signed Terms of Service Agreement. Once the Agreement is initially signed, this full Agreement will remain in effect for subsequent years as long as the client continues service year to year or until SHI deems a new Agreement is warranted.
Understanding YOUR ESTIMATE:
Estimated costs will include installation, service, removal of material and storage of your product (unless otherwise noted, we store only product purchased through SHI).
If your estimate contains warranty verbiage, one ‘season’ constitutes approximately 3 months of use (i.e. winter season is November, December and January).
Estimates contain both material and labor costs combined. After the first year, the material is owned by the client (unless otherwise noted). Additionally, material is tested prior to yearly renewal and replacement costs (when necessary) are added into the line item on the subsequent estimates in following years. There maybe an approximate 10% cost increase for any replacement lights, bulbs, growth of your trees/shrubs resulting in additional product needed, roofline clips (needed seasonally), or severed cords due to the weather conditions and/or animal vandalism.
After you Sign & Agree to your Estimate:
Installation – We will communicate with you via Text and Email to coordinate your installation date range. Clients do not have to be home the day of installation. Please be sure we have your updated cell phone number.
Timers / Starting your Light Display – If your installation takes place before the Thanksgiving Holiday, we ask the clients’ to please plug in the extension cord into the timer when your ready to turn them on to start the lighting season. Your timers will already be set to go on at 4pm and off at Midnight (unless other wise communicated to us via email at info@mysantashelpers.net).
Service – Contact us via Text at (708) 502-8290 if your display requires any service. After the Thanksgiving Holiday (or for Halloween customers) our service commitment is 24-48 hours from when you report the issue to us.
Removal / Storage – After your done enjoying your holiday, feel free to turn off your light display for the season by simply unplugging the cord from the timer. Then, after the winter thaw and when weather conditions are safe for our colleagues and your property, we will remove and store your product in our temperature-controlled facility. While we make every attempt to contact clients via email / mail regarding light removal and the winter thaw, please email or text us anytime with any questions or when you need estimates as to safe removal beginning. Then next year/season it’s a simple response/agreement from you on your new emailed estimate along with your $200 down payment and we will install your display again.
