Commercial Interiors (QPM)

Does QPM guarantee its work?
Yes — our work is guaranteed for your satisfaction. The guarantee/warrantee on work performed by QPM is for one year from the “Substantial Completion” of the project. Substantial Completion is an agreed-upon date when 90 percent of the project is complete.

What's the difference between project management and general contracting?
Project Managers like QPM manage the entire project for you, our client. This means that we oversee the general contractor or construction manager. In general contracting, you are hiring a complete construction crew and have no direct contact with the subcontractors. Project management offers more flexibility - to find out more, please contact us.

What are the benefits of hiring union contractors vs. non-union contractors?
Union contractors, while sometimes more expensive, are generally more experienced than non-union contractors. On the other hand, non-union contractors are generally less expensive and can offer more versatility as they do not adhere to often strict union guidelines. QPM employs both union and non-union contractors, giving you the freedom to choose what works best for your project. We are happy to answer any additional questions you may have about this subject — please contact us for more information.

How quickly can QPM come out?
Typically, we can arrive within 24 hours of your call.

Who will come to my house to do the work?
All initial appointments are completed by QPM President, John Schrempf. John will quote the work to be completed and when the project has been approved, we will schedule the work to be completed by our staff. QPM employees will arrive at your home wearing QPM shirts to identify themselves. We carefully screen all of our staff before hiring to ensure that they possess the required level of skill and experience. To book an appointment, please contact us.

Will I have to sit around all day waiting for QPM to show up?
No — absolutely not! QPM understands how valuable your time is so you tell US when to come, and we'll be there. No waiting for a “window” of time that interferes with your day!

How can I pay?
Payment can be made by cash, cheque, Visa, MasterCard or American Express — we are pleased to accept most major credit cards. Payment is made when the service is complete and you are happy with the results.

Does QPM guarantee its work?
Yes — our work is guaranteed for your satisfaction for 30 days from the date of completion. We guarantee materials and labour on materials purchased by QPM, and labour only when you purchase materials.

Is there a home renovation season?
Most exterior home improvement or home renovation projects are completed from mid-spring to mid-fall, as the snowy winter weather can make construction difficult. When considering a home improvement or renovation project, however, there are many steps involved, so it's best to start planning during the winter months to make the project as stress-free as possible.

Why should I service my HVAC equipment when it seems to be working just fine?
Most heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment has a life of approximately 15 years - but HVAC equipment maintained beyond the manufacturer's requirements could last for 25 years or more. Preventative HVAC maintenance, which can include lubrication, cleaning, adjusting and minor component replacement is designed to improve equipment life and avoid any unplanned maintenance activity, lower utility bills and create better comfort and improved health for the building occupants. For more information about preventative HVAC maintenance or for a free quote, contact ICS-Intelligent Comfort Solutions today.

How often should I have my HVAC equipment serviced?
The minimum servicing of commercial HVAC equipment is four times per year. This may be adjusted depending on the location of the building, the type of business within the building and the working times of the equipment and the business.
