In and out in a jiffy with every thing fixed and cleaned...Would refer or use again anytime.
These guys are the REAL DEAL. I contacted Steven and he picked up the phone right away. He was over to my house (25+ miles away from him) within 48 hours. He gave me a quote on replacing my AC and furnace for free, whereas other big name companies charged...
we thought he was very knowledgable and found extra work in replacing our window and as rotting underneath. We did give him a down payment and it was promised for 2 weeks and it is now 6 weeks and the job is not finished and we can not contact him.
Quality of work was ok, but very slow to complete job. Did a few other jobs for us besides the garage door opener. We had to stay on him to finish job and continually wanted more money to complete.
