"Very well. Ben had to travel quite a distance to get here but he arrived ahead of schedule. He discussed a few options for completion, offered a recommendation when asked and worked steadily and efficiently to get the job done. He cleaned the area after and left no trace of the messy task he completed. His friendly, respectful manner was an added bonus. I would definitely recommend and/or rehire him for subsequent masonry work."
