“I used Yelp to reach out to multiple companies. I was completely overwhelmed as each company contacted me one after the other. When Mike showed up, he was courteous enough to wait until I finished to who I was speaking to. When the other company drove off, Mike told me he would beat any price the other companies gave me if I could give him the work today and he sure did! He explained everything to me well enough for me to understand as Im a new homeowner and didnt know what I was dealing with. Mike was quick and efficient. Let me know how to do proper maintenance as well. Best part is he said if Im having issues, I can call whenever and hell come out as he doesnt live too far from me. Thanks for all your help, Mike!”
