Update as of July 2021
The State of Washington has lifted the mandatory mask-wearing requirements for vaccinated individuals but allows businesses to set their own mask requirements for all individuals, regardless of vaccination status. As we work mostly indoors and are in-and-out of multiple clients homes daily, we will still be continuing with our current covid safety protocols. This includes wearing masks regardless of vaccination status and social distancing. We kindly ask that our clients and vendors follow the same safety protocol while we are on-site and within their home.
This protocol also includes email estimates prior to in home consultation for all new inquires. We adopted this measure in order to streamline consultations and minimize our clients’ and our team’s exposure. This will continue to be our initial step in the consultation process as part of our adopted safety protocols. We appreciate your patience as we maintain these safety protocols for the foreseeable future.
We thank you for your support and look forward to working with you!
