I spoke with a man at BFAM enterprises and we agreed to a 10am appointment today, for him to look at and bid the job. It is now 11:36, and I have not been contacted to advise that he is running late. No call, no text, nothing. I find this very disrespectful of my time and will not do business...

The experience was fantastic. It was a young guy and he was very professional. He always recommends that you do a test first. He was upfront if it isn't a really big deal and he gave me a name for an inspection. Dan is the owner and he is a good guy. I've never found anybody that did a good job...
