FAQs

Do I need an appointment for a service quote?

No, you do not need an appointment. Boats are quoted using a standardized pricing formula. Most other items can be quoted using photos and estimated dimensions of the item.

Do I need to be present when the work is done?

No, you do not need to be at the property for any exterior work. For any interior work, we will just need someone to give us access or provide access information for the home or business. We will contact you during the job if we have any questions.

Do you use my electricity and or water?

No, we do not need access to water or electricity.

If I have used your services in the past, are you able to access that information in your system and provide the same service?

Yes, we keep the history of all our jobs and can look up the services that were previously performed for you. We cannot guarantee that pricing will be the same, so please request an updated quote on the services you are looking for.

How much space is needed around the object being wrapped?

Approximately 3 feet is needed around the object. There should be sufficient space for a step ladder to be moved around the item being wrapped.

How will I know what time you will be coming?

You will be given an arrival window for your date of service. Typically, outdoor jobs will be scheduled 24 hours in advance due to changing weather conditions. Indoor jobs can be scheduled further out.

What happens if there is inclement weather the day I am scheduled to have the work done?

Shrink wrapping requires less than 10mph wind and no precipitation. If the weather does not cooperate on your scheduled day, your appointment will be rescheduled.

What do I need to do to prepare for the visit?

Not much! If there is anything restricting access to the item being wrapped, we’d appreciate you clearing the way. Leave the item exactly how you want it wrapped and we will do the rest. Other than that, we do a full assessment upon arrival and make sure we communicate any needs with you upfront.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept check, cash, or Venmo. We may also accept most major credit cards or other forms of online payment. Check with your local Omega Shrinkwrap provider for a list of accepted payment options.

Is payment due upon completion of the job?

No. You will be invoiced and payment is due 30 days after service.

Does Omega Shrinkwrap carry insurance?

The safety of you, your property, and our team members is our number one priority. All Omega Shrinkwrap members and services are insured for everyone’s protection and peace of mind.

What do I do with my cover when it is removed?

The shrink wrap can be recycled, discarded, and/or used for another purpose. For recycling, check with your local marina and/or recycling bags can be purchased online. The lumber can be repurposed, or if you plan to have your item covered the following season, you can save it.

How do I remove an old shrink wrap cover?

Once you are done with your cover, simply remove it with a utility knife.

How much do services cost?

Omega Shrinkwrap offers very competitive pricing without compromising quality of material and craftsmanship. Costs will vary according to location and the project at hand. Call your local Omega Shrinkwrap technician for pricing.

What if my boat has a hull that is painted with awlgrip?

It is recommended that boats with awlgrip painted hulls be stored indoors. Some covers may be able to be taped to the rub rail using a specialized tape.

Will you install vents?

Most items require ventilation so as to regulate the temperature under the cover. This will help mitigate condensation.

I have seen blue, white, and clear shrink wrap. What is the difference?

In most cases white 7mil shrink wrap will be used as it is optimal for most applications. For zones where extreme cold exists, blue covers may be used so as to help with the extreme cold as the blue will attract more sunlight. Clear shrink wrap is used when there is a need to see through the wrap. Wrap also varies in thickness as thicker wrap may be preferred for industrial applications.
