"Repair man was nice enough, but when he found (eventually) a bad outlet (not a bad disposal after all) under the sink where disposal was powered, the replacement fee was ridiculous. Nonetheless, I had to replace it, or the new disposal wouldn't have been replaced. Kinda felt a little trapped. Ended up paying too much and throw out a perfectly good yet older disposal."

"For the homeowners who discovered mold in their home, and are stressed and worried about the potential cost of the eradication process, you need not look any further than these guys! Craig showed up promptly on the day day and time of our appointment, and my wife and I were immediately impressed and comfortable with his warmth and knowledge! During his assessment, he took his time pointing out the obvious areas and certain problems we never noticed! He did this not to frighten or pressure us, but being informative about the reason for for the presence of the mold! But what shocked us was the total cost of eradication...it was almost half of what 2 other companies had quoted us! His crew of young men worked tirelessly and were friendly and courteous to a fault. No complaints about their cleanup efforts either! We would highly recommend this company in a heartbeat! Ray & Lisa Jones, Delaware, Ohio"
