However, once I asked him when he could do the job, George stopped chatting. George has not responded to my email to him either.

We recently enlisted the services of this contractor to install a new fire panel at one of our managed properties, and I’m pleased to say the experience was excellent from start to finish. Communication was a standout – clear, timely, and professional throughout. They were also highly flexible in working around our tenant schedules, which made the process smooth and hassle-free. On top of that, their pricing was very competitive without compromising on quality. Overall, I was very happy with the service

I was kept informed and made aware of what could be done. They were both very polite and did not rush off for the next job. They asked if I was happy with everything before leaving.
