"I was shocked to wake up early one morning to find out my sofa delivery from Walmart was coming one week earlier than expected. Then I found AUGUST POWER SOLUTIONS to come in and save the day. They immediately worked with my schedule. They kept in contact to make sure that the job was finished as soon as possible. Mr. Steven August and his son, Steven Jr. arrived exactly as they said, and even managed to take care of a few other tasks in preparation of bad weather the next day. It is good to know that Angi is an available resource to consult and then provide such a valuable service like AUGUST POWER SOLUTIONS from Jeanette to all of Acadiana. Their work was excellent and efficient. Most of all I know that I can count on their reliability. Now that I have established a working relationship, I will be sure call upon AUGUST POWER SOLUTIONS again in the near future. Tanya Z. Oil Center Lafayette, LA"
