"Outstanding work! I plan to hire them again for my next project. The owner, Rick responded promptly to my call and was very professional and efficient. He provided a detailed list of what was to be included in the job. The crew of five men arrived on time, moved furniture out of the way, prepped the area carefully and cleaned up completely at the end of each day.
Although it wasn't included in the contract, the crew did some additional touch up painting of some doors & baseboards"since we already have the trim paint open." I had also asked if I could use their ladder to clean and change lightbulbs in the hard to reach chandelier; I came home and found that they did it for me. I expected that with the additional work done that they might add on to the bill, but they didn't. Instead I was more than happy to give the crew a good tip.
Very pleased with the end result as well as the 3 days of having this professional team in our home.
