"My experience with Pierce was outstanding from start to finish. When my AC went out during the worst heat spell of the year, I was honestly stressed and worried about finding someone who wouldn?t overcharge me or cut corners. From the moment I called Prolific Construction, Pierce was responsive, kind, and honest. He took the time to listen to what was going on before he even showed up, which already told me he cared about doing things thoroughly. When he arrived, he was right on time?no waiting around for a vague window. He got straight to work, explaining what he was checking and why in clear, simple terms that made me feel informed and empowered. I never once felt like I was being upsold on anything I didn?t need. Pierce is one of those rare professionals who values transparency, and that?s so refreshing. He found the problem quickly and had the parts ready to fix it on the spot. My house was cooling down before he even left the driveway. Prolific Construction will take care ofyou"
