You may be able to control cookies through your browser settings or a cookie-preference tool available on our website. Disabling certain cookies may affect website functionality.

Our website may use services provided by companies such as [identify applicable providers—for example, Google Analytics, Google Ads, Meta, or another provider].

6. Sale and Sharing of Personal Information

Choose and retain only the statement that accurately describes the website:

Option A — No sale or sharing: We do not sell personal information for money, and we do not share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under California law.

Option B — Advertising-related sharing: We do not sell personal information for money. However, our use of certain advertising cookies or pixels may constitute “sharing” under California law. Depending on the tools used, this activity may involve identifiers, internet or device activity, and information inferred from that activity. California residents may opt out using [Your Privacy Choices link or cookie-preference mechanism]. Where legally required, we also process recognized opt-out preference signals, such as Global Privacy Control.

We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of anyone under 16 years old.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including to provide services, complete projects, maintain warranties and business records, comply with construction, tax, insurance, licensing, and legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

The applicable retention period depends on the type and sensitivity of the information, the nature of our relationship with you, and legal or operational requirements.

8. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

You may unsubscribe from promotional emails by using the unsubscribe link in the message or contacting us. You may opt out of promotional text messages by replying STOP. We may continue sending non-promotional communications concerning an inquiry, contract, transaction, project, warranty, safety issue, or other ongoing business relationship.
