They installed a new propane tank and line to a gas fireplace insert and even took the time to show me how to use the insert since it was new to me. They also cost the least out of all of the companies that gave me quotes.

They sent two different guys out for this one, one didn't have the part (thermostat) so he ordered it, and another tech came out the following day to install it. I liked the second tech better.

He has installed some plumbing and there is more plumbing to be done. He hooked up the lavatory in the mud room, the showers, installed the toilets and hooked up my walk in tub. He's good as far as I know, I haven't dealt with him all the much, the contractor has.
