No one wants to get a knock at their door alerted to water surge out of one’s house! Shaq was extremely professional, promptly responded to my call and identified the problem. I would trust this company again.
Sean is knowledgeable and did a fantastic job on my toilet removal and replacement
Shaq was very nice to work with, although we did find leak just yet. Need the ceiling opened.
Shaq is very knowledgeable, timely and helpful. He reviewed my boiler system and made common sense recommendations for repairs and costs. I feel like he isn’t hard selling me things I don’t need and developed my trust for what needs to be done. I’ll use this service over again because they are effective and Shaq is trustworthy. Hard to find companies these days that aren’t trying to push things you don’t need plus good at what they do.
Professional, easy to schedule. Came outside the 2hour window but it was a Sunday and they were really good and quick and thorough doing the job. Thanks!
