Terms

Last Updated: August 20, 2026

Welcome to the website of A&Y Carpentry LLC (“A&Y Carpentry LLC,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using this website, you agree to the following Terms & Conditions.

These terms are intended to establish clear expectations regarding our website, estimates, communications, services, payments, and customer responsibilities.

1. Website Use

The information provided on this website is for general informational purposes. Service descriptions, photographs, examples, and other content are intended to provide general information about our services and may not represent the exact materials, products, appearance, or results of a particular project.

We reserve the right to update, modify, or remove website content at any time without notice.

2. Estimates and Quotes

Any estimate, quote, proposal, or pricing information provided by A&Y Carpentry LLC is based on the information reasonably available to us at the time the estimate is prepared.

Unless specifically stated otherwise in a written proposal or contract:

• Estimates are not guaranteed final prices.
• Estimates may change if the scope of work changes.
• Estimates may change if unforeseen conditions are discovered.
• Estimates may change because of changes in material prices or availability.
• Estimates may change if additional labor, equipment, permits, disposal, or other work becomes necessary.
• Verbal discussions do not modify a written contract unless confirmed in writing by A&Y Carpentry LLC.

A project is not considered accepted or scheduled until the required agreement, deposit, or other conditions stated in the proposal or contract have been satisfied.

3. Written Contracts Control

For any construction or home improvement project, the written contract, proposal, work order, or agreement signed by the customer and A&Y Carpentry LLC will control the specific terms of that project.

If there is a conflict between these website Terms & Conditions and a project-specific written contract, the project-specific contract will control to the extent permitted by applicable law.

4. Scope of Work

A&Y Carpentry LLC will perform the work specifically described in the applicable written proposal or contract.

Work that is not specifically included in the agreed scope is considered additional work.

Additional work may include, but is not limited to:

• Changes requested by the customer
• Additional demolition
• Repairs discovered after work begins
• Structural repairs
• Additional framing
• Additional materials
• Additional labor
• Removal or disposal of unexpected materials
• Corrections required because of pre-existing conditions
• Work required because of code, inspection, or site conditions not reasonably apparent when the estimate was prepared

Additional work may result in additional charges.

5. Changes to the Project

Customers may request changes to the original scope of work.

A&Y Carpentry LLC reserves the right to require written approval of a change order before performing additional work.

Changes may affect:

• Project price
• Materials
• Labor
• Completion date
• Availability of workers or subcontractors
• Delivery schedules

Customer-requested changes may result in additional charges and delays.

6. Unforeseen and Hidden Conditions

Construction and remodeling projects may involve conditions that cannot reasonably be identified before work begins.

Examples include:

• Rot
• Water damage
• Mold
• Structural damage
• Damaged framing
• Hidden wiring
• Hidden plumbing
• Underground obstructions
• Inadequate existing structures
• Improper prior construction
• Code violations
• Pest damage
• Deteriorated materials
• Other concealed conditions

A&Y Carpentry LLC is not responsible for pre-existing conditions that could not reasonably have been identified before work began.

If such conditions require additional work, the customer may be responsible for the associated labor, materials, equipment, and other costs, subject to the applicable written contract and applicable law.

7. Customer Responsibilities

The customer is responsible for:

• Providing accurate project information
• Providing reasonable access to the property
• Providing access to necessary work areas
• Removing personal belongings from work areas when requested
• Informing A&Y Carpentry LLC of known property conditions that may affect the project
• Obtaining any approvals or permissions specifically assigned to the customer under the written contract
• Making required payments when due
• Keeping pets and children away from active work areas
• Providing reasonable access for deliveries, inspections, and workers

Failure to provide necessary access or information may result in delays and additional costs when permitted by the applicable contract and law.

8. Property and Existing Conditions

Customers understand that construction work can create temporary dust, noise, vibration, debris, and other normal effects associated with construction.

A&Y Carpentry LLC will use reasonable care while performing work. However, we are not responsible for damage caused by pre-existing weaknesses, hidden defects, deterioration, improper prior construction, or conditions outside our reasonable control.

Customers should inform us before work begins of any known fragile, damaged, unsafe, or unusual property conditions.

9. Materials

Materials may be selected based on availability, specifications, customer selections, budget, and the requirements of the project.

Material prices and availability may change.

If a selected material becomes unavailable, discontinued, delayed, or substantially more expensive, A&Y Carpentry LLC may discuss alternative materials or pricing adjustments with the customer.

Customer-requested material substitutions or upgrades may result in additional charges.

10. Customer-Supplied Materials

If a customer supplies materials, products, fixtures, hardware, or other items, the customer is responsible for ensuring that those materials are suitable, complete, undamaged, and appropriate for the intended installation.

A&Y Carpentry LLC is not responsible for defects, incompatibility, missing components, manufacturer defects, or failures resulting from customer-supplied materials.

Additional labor required because of defective, incomplete, incorrect, or unsuitable customer-supplied materials may be charged to the customer when permitted by the applicable contract and law.

11. Scheduling and Delays

Project schedules are estimates and may be affected by circumstances beyond our reasonable control.

Delays may result from:

• Weather
• Material shortages
• Manufacturer delays
• Delivery problems
• Permit or inspection delays
• Subcontractor availability
• Customer-requested changes
• Hidden conditions
• Site access problems
• Labor availability
• Utility issues
• Government requirements
• Emergencies
• Other circumstances beyond our reasonable control

A&Y Carpentry LLC will make reasonable efforts to keep customers informed of significant delays.

A delay does not automatically constitute a breach of contract when the delay results from circumstances outside our reasonable control.

12. Weather

Outdoor construction projects, including decks, fences, siding, doors, and windows, may be affected by weather.

A&Y Carpentry LLC may postpone or reschedule work when weather conditions create unsafe working conditions or could negatively affect the quality of the installation.

Weather-related scheduling changes do not constitute abandonment of a project.

13. Payments

Customers agree to make payments according to the payment schedule established in the applicable written contract or proposal.

Failure to make a required payment when due may result in:

• Suspension of work
• Rescheduling
• Additional costs
• Delayed completion
• Collection efforts
• Other remedies available under the contract and applicable law

A&Y Carpentry LLC reserves all rights and remedies available under applicable law for unpaid amounts.

14. Deposits and Materials

Where permitted by applicable law and specified in the project contract, deposits may be required to reserve scheduling, purchase materials, mobilize labor, or begin work.

The treatment, use, and refundability of any deposit will be governed by the applicable written contract and applicable New York law.

15. Cancellation

Cancellation of a project by a customer may result in charges for work already performed, materials purchased or ordered, labor committed, restocking fees, delivery charges, scheduling losses, and other amounts permitted by the applicable contract and law.

Any cancellation rights provided by applicable law will remain applicable.

16. Workmanship and Warranties

Any workmanship warranty provided by A&Y Carpentry LLC will be stated in the applicable written contract or warranty document.

Manufacturer warranties for products and materials are generally provided by the manufacturer and may be subject to the manufacturer’s own terms and conditions.

Unless expressly provided in writing, A&Y Carpentry LLC does not provide warranties beyond those required by applicable law.

Warranty claims may require inspection before corrective work is performed.

17. Warranty Exclusions

To the extent permitted by law and the applicable written contract, warranty coverage may not apply to problems caused by:

• Customer modifications
• Unauthorized repairs
• Abuse or misuse
• Normal wear and tear
• Acts of nature
• Storm damage
• Flooding
• Fire
• Pests
• Pre-existing conditions
• Structural movement
• Settlement
• Improper maintenance
• Customer-supplied materials
• Failure to follow manufacturer instructions
• Conditions outside A&Y Carpentry LLC’s reasonable control

Nothing in these terms is intended to eliminate any warranty, consumer protection, or legal right that cannot legally be waived.

18. Inspections and Approvals

Where inspections, permits, or approvals are required, the responsibilities of A&Y Carpentry LLC and the customer will be established in the applicable project contract.

Customers should not assume that a project is complete solely because construction work has physically finished. Final completion may depend on agreed punch-list items, inspections, approvals, or other contract requirements.

19. Subcontractors and Suppliers

A&Y Carpentry LLC may use qualified subcontractors, suppliers, delivery companies, or other service providers when necessary or appropriate to complete a project.

A&Y Carpentry LLC remains responsible for its contractual obligations while coordinating with third parties as appropriate.

20. Photos and Project Documentation

A&Y Carpentry LLC may document project conditions and completed work for business records, warranty purposes, estimating, quality control, or dispute resolution.

We will not intentionally publish identifiable customer information without appropriate permission.

21. Customer Complaints and Disputes

Customers are encouraged to contact A&Y Carpentry LLC promptly if they believe there is a problem with the work.

Customers should provide a reasonable opportunity for A&Y Carpentry LLC to inspect and, where appropriate, correct an alleged workmanship issue before hiring another contractor to perform corrective work, except where immediate action is reasonably necessary to prevent significant damage or address an emergency.

Failure to provide reasonable notice and an opportunity to inspect or correct an issue may affect the parties’ rights and remedies to the extent permitted by applicable law.

Nothing in this section limits any rights or remedies that cannot legally be waived.

22. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, A&Y Carpentry LLC will not be responsible for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from the use of this website or from circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions is intended to exclude or limit liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited under applicable law.

23. No Guarantee of Specific Results

Construction and home improvement projects involve variables that may affect the final appearance and performance of the completed work.

A&Y Carpentry LLC does not guarantee a particular aesthetic result unless specifically described and agreed upon in writing.

Photographs displayed on our website may show examples of completed work and should not be interpreted as a guarantee that every project will look identical.

Prices, services, availability, photographs, descriptions, and other information may change without notice.
