Fear: Demo is loud!

MFI: As we are a small business and at the same time a general contractor, we have a few tradesmen in each area of specialty. We will only send out as many tradesmen as necessary to complete your project quickly and efficiently.
4.
Fear: The demo that we are having done is on the outside wall of our house. Our house will be left open to the elements and strangers!
MFI: If there is any demo to be done on an exterior wall of your home, our tradesmen will never leave it open to the elements and unsecured. We will not start demo until the necessary materials to repair the demo are in hand. We would never risk our customers' health and/or safety.
5.
Fear: I am having demo done on a wall! What is to stop my house from caving in?
MFI: The tradesmen here at Mr. Fix It of Sierra Vista will not demo a load-bearing wall without the proper support being in place if at all. Our estimators, project manager, and tradesmen are dedicated to our customers' safety and satisfaction.
