A: Garabar makes every effort to ensure that your property is safe during window and door replacement work. If necessary, we use dump trucks, not dumpsters, thus protecting your driveway. We also lay ram board and use tarps, plastic, and/or zip-walls to protect all sensitive areas to make sure we don’t damage your walls, furnishings, flooring, and carpet. We go to great lengths to make sure areas adjacent to work areas are well-protected. We also make daily sweeps of the property to ensure that no dangerous glass shards or other debris are left on the ground.
