3. Quotes, Orders & Pricing
All quotes and estimates provided by pHountain are based on information available at the time of assessment and are subject to change upon inspection of your property. A written agreement or signed contract will govern the final scope and price of any installation project.
- Prices are in U.S. dollars and are subject to applicable state and local taxes.
