Privacy Policy

Overview

Garcia Builders (“we”, “us”) remodels homes and builds additions. We collect only what we need to answer your questions, prepare estimates, do the work and keep the records the law requires, and we keep it no longer than we have to.

Information we collect

• Contact details: your name and email, and, if you give it, a phone number.
• About your home and project: the ZIP code and address of the house, roughly when it was built, your budget and timing, what you tell us about the project, and any photos, plans or links you share.
• Project records: estimates, contracts, change orders, selections, permits, invoices, payment confirmations, and the photos we take of the work as it goes.
• Your messages: the emails you send us and our replies.
• A little about where a request comes from: the browser and the country an estimate request is sent from, which help us spot spam.

How we use it

To reply to you, visit your home, prepare your estimate, plan and build your project, apply for permits, invoice and get paid, honor your warranty, and keep the records that tax and building rules require. We don’t send marketing email unless you ask us to, and we never sell your personal information.

Photos of your home

The photos you send us, and the ones we take while we work, are used to plan the job, document it and keep you updated. We never post photos of your home, on this site or anywhere else, without your written permission.

Who we share it with

Only the people who help us do your project: the trades and suppliers working on it (what they need to do their part, such as the address, the plans and the schedule, never your payment details), designers and engineers where the project needs them, the city or county offices that issue permits and inspect the work, and the services we run our business on, such as email and web hosting. Each gets only what it needs for that job. We may also disclose information when the law requires it.

How long we keep it

Project records are kept for as long as tax and building rules require, and at least as long as your warranty runs. Estimate requests that don’t become projects, and emails that aren’t tied to a project, are deleted after two years.

This website

This site doesn’t use analytics or advertising cookies, and it doesn’t follow you around the web. Our hosting provider may use strictly necessary security cookies and keeps standard server logs (such as IP addresses) for a short time to keep the site safe and running.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (California, for example), you may have the right to know what personal information we hold about you, to correct it, or to ask us to delete it. Email hello@garciabuilders.xyz and we’ll respond within the time the law allows. We won’t treat you any differently for asking.

Changes

If we change this policy in a way that matters, we’ll update the date above and, if we’re working on your home, let you know by email.
