Many people go by the three-year rule and replace their lawn mower rather than do repairs after this time.</p></div>

They were very responsive, gave me a very competitive quote, and came within 2 days. Very easy to deal with, friendly, and cleaned up up nicely, leaving a trash bag of waste by my trash rather than gutter gunk on my lawn. I will use them next time.

"Very well. Sunny's Services not only moved our new stand up freezer into our house, they removed the old one AND all the packing materials from the new one. They even advised us not to plug in the new one for a couple hours because they tipped it when they moved it. They were on time, courteous and the price was very reasonable."
