"Having worked in the trades when I was younger. I often do projects on my own but with kids and a career we just do not have the time. We are often frustrated with contractors who either do sloppy work or do not follow through. Well Paul Enterprises is the firm that all these other guys should be judged by. Prompt service, high quality workmanship and professionalism are the hallmark of their service. They did us h a great job we decided to expand the project to have them paint the rooms they worked it. That work was even better We cannot wait to have them back for our next project Bravo"
