Nice guy, nice work!
Excellent ,excellent. First of all , they came with another man , They arrived at my house on time. Materials and equipment were ready to go. They work and cleaned up afterwards. Very efficient. I'm already planning on hiring him again.
Herb was the first person in my house, other than me, since March. He wore a mask and was very courteous about the fact that I am "elderly and compromised" and worried about Covid 19. He did everything quickly and found ways to fix things that were less invasive and therefore less expensive than I expected. I was pleased with his communication and punctuality and it seems everything was done well.
Herb installed a front door and hardwood floor for us. He was very fair, dependable, and professional. He worked very hard and had to repair others mistakes of contractors we hired previously but was faithful to his original estimate. He did a fantastic job and our house looks great!
Excellent!!!
