"The gentleman I hired is working independently of the firm. However, they are aware of the job and recommended he take it. The man is professional, thorough, does excellent work, and made recommendations to me as well as offering his professional advice. He has many years experience and related to me the type of work he has done. I was contacted the same day I reached out, and the next day, most of the work was done."
"The start of the job took longer than anticipated. The delivery of the windows took much longer then what was originally projected. The company was a month behind on their time of delivery. I was satisfied with the work done overall. Though there were two issues that needed to be addressed in relation to the job which I discovered after the work was completed. The problems were addressed but it took approximately two months for a return visit to correct them. The response time to correct problems with the job should have been much shorter."
