2. Nature of Services and Content

2.1 Informational Purposes Only

ALL CONTENT ON THIS WEBSITE IS PROVIDED FOR GENERAL INFORMATIONAL AND EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. Nothing on this Website constitutes professional contracting advice. Always consult with qualified professionals for your specific situation.

2.2 No Professional-Client Relationship

Use of this Website does not create any professional-client, contractor-client, fiduciary, or advisory relationship between you and Ottawa Drywallers or Justyn Rook Contracting.

2.3 Safety Disclaimer

CUTTING, SANDING AND SCRAPING DRYWALL, PLASTER AND CEILINGS, AND WORKING NEAR WIRING, INVOLVE SAFETY RISKS. Information provided on this website or through Drywall Pro IQ is not a substitute for checking with the City of Ottawa, a professional assessment, or the advice of a qualified contractor. Health Canada says asbestos was used in some building materials before 1990, including drywall and spackling, and advises a professional test before renovating or remodelling; in an older house, test before anyone cuts, sands or scrapes. Water near electrical wiring or a panel, a ceiling bulging with water, a smell of gas or sparks from a box: leave the area and call emergency services from a safe place.

2.4 Building Code, Permits and Site Conditions Disclaimer

BUILDING CODE, PERMIT AND SITE CONDITIONS ARE SPECIFIC TO EACH PROPERTY. Framing, existing finishes, the age of the house, an attached garage, a secondary suite and heritage status vary across properties in Ottawa. Information on this website about the Ontario Building Code, City of Ottawa permits, asbestos and costs is general and may not reflect your situation. Building Code figures are minimums for new work, not a design; ask the City how they apply to your renovation. Finish levels are an industry scale, not a Code requirement. Cost ranges are aggregated from published Toronto and Ontario sources, are not Ottawa prices and are not quotes. Always obtain written quotes, confirm permit requirements with the City, and test before disturbing materials in a house built before 1990.

3. Drywall Pro IQ (AI-Generated Content)

By using Drywall Pro IQ or any AI features, you expressly acknowledge and agree that you use AI-generated content entirely at your own risk and will not rely on AI content for any decision without independent professional verification.
