📞 Call (850) 616-9273 Common QuestionsStraight answers to the questions Shalimar and Okaloosa County callers ask us most. Don't see yours? Just call (850) 616-9273 — a real person picks up, any hour.
When you call (850) 616-9273 we dispatch the closest available technician right away. Typical arrival in Shalimar, Cinco Bayou, Wright, and Ocean City is 15 to 30 minutes. Okaloosa Island and outlying areas can take a little longer — you always get an exact ETA on the phone before we dispatch.
It depends on the service, your location, and the time of day. We give you a real, all-in quote on the phone before sending a technician. We don't advertise a flat price because in this trade that almost always turns into a bait-and-switch.
No. We quote the full job price on the phone. There's no inflated 'service-call' charge and no surprise add-ons in the driveway.
