Russell came to evaluate installing a gas line to our dryer. He gave very informative details of what needed to be done and how long it would take. He also explained what was being done regarding safety procedures. Overall, his evaluation and knowledge was top notch.

If we were to rate on a scale of 1 to 10, this company would be 11. Excellent service, our shower had a bad leak, extending to pipes under the house. These were replaced and the entire shower gutted, wood reinforced, new tiling installed. Very professional job. Harris was our contact and he followed up on all that was needed.
