You may view and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not copy, republish, or redistribute our content without our written permission.

SMS / Text Messaging Terms
Windy Shore Home Services operates a text messaging program so customers and prospective customers can reach us and receive service updates. These SMS terms form part of these Terms & Conditions.
- Program description and message types. Messages relate to the service you asked us about: replies to your questions, quotes and estimates, appointment confirmations and reminders, arrival and job-status updates, invoices and receipts, and follow-up about work we have completed for you. If you separately ticked the box consenting to marketing messages, we may also send occasional promotional offers, seasonal reminders, and news about our services. You can opt out of either kind at any time.
- How you opt in. You consent to receive text messages by giving us your mobile number and asking us to contact you — for example by submitting a request form on this website, by ticking a text-message consent box where one is provided, or by texting us first at (224) 490-4244. Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services.
- Message frequency. Message frequency varies and depends on your conversation with us and on any active or upcoming job.
- Message and data rates. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile carrier and plan. Windy Shore Home Services is not responsible for charges from your carrier.
- How to opt out. Text STOP to (224) 490-4244 at any time to cancel. You will receive one final message confirming that you have been unsubscribed, and we will send no further texts to that number. You can opt back in at any time by texting us again.
- How to get help. Reply HELP to any message for assistance, or contact us at (224) 490-4244. Full support details are at the end of these Terms.
- Carrier liability. Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery depends on effective transmission by your mobile carrier.
- Supported carriers. Our program is supported by major mobile carriers in the United States. Carriers are not responsible for the content of messages.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Information sharing to subcontractors in support services, such as customer service, is permitted. All other use case categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
The mobile information you share with us, and your text messaging consent, are handled as described in our Privacy Policy.
Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains what information Windy Shore Home Services collects, how we use and protect it, how our text messaging consent works, and the choices and rights you have. It forms part of these Terms, and by using this website or our services you agree to it. Where these Terms and the Privacy Policy overlap on how we handle personal information, the Privacy Policy applies.
Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Windy Shore Home Services will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of your use of this website. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence. The services themselves are governed by the quote, estimate, or written agreement for your specific job.
Governing Law
These Terms, and any dispute arising out of them, this website, or the services we provide, are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. You agree that any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Illinois, and you consent to the jurisdiction of those courts. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest remains in force.
