"could not be happier with the quality of their work. They assembled a kit that, after I bought it, I read was notoriously difficult. Any problems in the parts, they resolved beautifully. Could not be happier with their work and would hire them again without hesitation."

"We had junk to remove from our basement and around our exterior buildings. The quote was for an hour of labor (2 employees) and a 20 foot dumpster. They hauled away metal, oil, electronics, tires and wood-based items. They arrived right on time and were very pleasant to deal with. They stuck around to give us a quote on fence installation as well."
