"They arrived on time, worked hard, finished when they said they would, cleaned up after themselves and the workmen were respectful. Although the job was quickly done (10 days) I never got the feeling they were rushing . The work was high quality and well planned. And the boss even complied with a couple of special requests I came up with as the project proceeded..The results greatly exceeded our expectations."
