"I spoke with 4 companies regarding installing a barrier to prevent raccoons from burrowing under my porch. Based on my research Green Valley Wildlife Solutions presented the best solution and the cost was very competitive. The work was completed in 2 days, since he did not want to completely seal the porch until he could confirm nothing was still living under the porch."

"We recently moved to Huron and the house we purchased has a gas water heating system which we have never had any dealings with. When it seemed to take a very long time to heat the house we were concerned. I called Gilbert Heating and Air Conditioning because there were tags on the furnace showing that they had previously serviced it. Even though I had never used this company before, they scheduled me for 8:00 am the next morning. This is a much better turnaround time than I have ever received before from any service company. A technician named Tanner showed up on time and was very helpful. Although there turned out not to be anything wrong with the furnace, Tanner gave us some tips and explained the heating method to us.
