    The work

    Scheduled scope, not a bidding war

    Ashota sends defined scope with the property details already gathered, so you are quoting real work rather than guessing.

    Typical storm preparation scope

    • Shutter or panel installation and removal
    • Outdoor furniture, umbrellas and loose items secured
    • Drain, gutter and downspout clearing
    • Generator, sump and battery checks
    • Post-event inspection with photo documentation

    What Ashota handles

    • Finding and vetting the homeowner, and holding the customer relationship.
    • Property details, access instructions and whether the owner will be present.
    • Scheduling, reminders and rescheduling when the owner changes plans.
    • Billing the homeowner and chasing payment — you invoice Ashota, not the owner.
    • Written scope and photo record, so a dispute is a document rather than an argument.
