Bounce houses are up to 300 lbs. We do not go up and down stairs.                                                    

What about our sprinkler lines?

We are not responsible if we puncture a sprinkler line. For safety, all inflatables will be staked into the ground to secure it and prevent movement. This is for safety. The stakes we use are 12 inch to 18 inch long stakes. Customers should be advised where their sprinkler lines & main lines are under the grass and let us know if these will be in the way. We can use sand bags if needed.

Do you have a Cancellation Policy?

Yes.

A credit card is required for all orders. When you place the order, we hold the item for you and prevent others from renting it. Our cancellation policy is explained below. We have a very liberal cancellation policy.

After you place your order:

Any charges will be able to be applied to another reservation within 30 days of your orginal party date. Once we have arrived and set up your equipment, there are no refunds. Cancelation charges will be charged to the credit card on file.

What is your policy for rain?

We do not cancel reservations unless we determine it will be unsafe for the kids or our equipment. We will usually wait until the night before or the morning of to cancel. If we cancel your event, you will not be charged anything. We deliver many jobs indoors and outdoors. If customers want to cancel a reservation, please refer to our cancellation policy.

How long is the rental for?

For residential parties, typical party is about 4-5 hrs. Maximum rental time is up to 5 hours or 7pm. Customers can rent for longer than 5 hours at 10% per hour. Rentals are for daylight hours only. We do not leave them overnight or pick up in the dark.

Do you charge for delivery?

Yes. Prices listed do not include delivery. With gas prices soaring and employee wages what they are... yes we charge for delivery. We have to pay delivery drivers for their work, and their fuel to deliver and to pick up. Keep in mind we travel 2 times to your location. Once to drop off and another to pick up.

What time will you deliver and pick up?

House Rentals:

You will receive a text message the night before to give you an "estimate time of delivery".

The "Start Time" on your order is NOT the delivery time.

Delivery could be any time after 8am up to 45 minutes before the "start time”.

Pick up will be at the "End Time" on your order, or shortly thereafter.

*** After the bounce house is delivered, we can not change pick up times. Therefore customers can not request later pick up, or next day pick up after the jumper is delivered. We have already created drivers schedules and can not change it.

Park Rentals:

Delivery to parks will be within 15 - 30 minutes before the “Start Time”.

Pick up at parks will be at the “End Time” or shortly thereafter.

Customer must remain on site until we arrive.

Do you rent overnight?

This depends on several things. If we decide to do an overnight rental, you must ensure sprinklers are turned off so our equiment does not get wet. Also you must TURN ON the inflatable/s in the morning to air-dry. Moisture gets all over the inflatable overnight and we need them to be dry when we pick up. We can tell if sprinklers are turned on becuase as we roll them up, water squeezes out of the seams. If we determine that the sprinklers were left on and the inflatable is soaked with water - we charge a "Minimum" of $80 to dry, and price can go up a lot more. We have had to inflate units for up to 4 days to dry out in the past. This will be charged to the credit card on file. Please remember to turn off the sprinklers.

Do I tip the driver?

As in most service related industry, tips are very much appreciated by our workers.

What surface do I need for a jumper rental?

We set up on grass, concrete, asphalt, brick pavers, wood decks.

We DO NOT set up on dirt, a mix of dirt and weeds, rocks, sand, bark chips, etc... Grass is defined as an irrigated lawn that is watered, and mowed. Questionable areas - you may take a picture and send to us to let us see.

Are they safe and are they clean?

Our company provides safe and clean jumpers.  All of the jumpers have steps on the entrance and safety instructions are printed on the outside.  We clean and sanitize our jumpers after each use with a hypo-allergenic disenfectant. If it was rented the day before, we clean it up on the site prior to use. We take pride in our equipment and keeping them clean is essential.

When do I need to order?

We recommend booking a few weeks ahead. We’ve been in business for many years and have a lot of repeat customers who book several weeks in advance.

Do you deliver on holidays, and do you charge extra?

Pricing may be different on holidays or peak rental days. We have to pay our workers more to work on holidays, so prices are subject to change. We also do not offer discounts on holidays like the 4th of July, Christmas, New Years, Easter, Halloween etc. If you have any questions, please ask for a quote.

How many kids can be in a jumper?

SUPERVISION IS REQUIRED AT ALL TIMES while your guests use the jumper, particularly small children.

What do I need to do the day of the delivery?

Clear a path for the delivery driver. Clean the area we are going to set up. If you have dogs, please clean up after them. Please have an extension cord plugged in and set out for our driver to plug the fan into. Turn off the sprinklers the night before so the grass is not wet.

Do you go up stairs?

No. We do not take inflatables up and down stairs. If we arrive and find we have to go up and down stairways, the job might be cancelled and if so, cancellation fees will incur. If you only have some small steps, you need to discuss this when you put in the order.

We DO NOT accept personal checks, credit cards, Venmo, or Zelle for payment. Cash only means cash only.
