The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Is it normal practice to throw your trash in you're clients neighbors trash can? Wich is illegal here btw, not even bagged. How lazy. If you want to stay friends with your neighbors don't hire these guys. Not to mention the nasty smell of what was thrown in there. I was curious why my dog suddenly so interested in the can.”
Positive
“I have been using Alamo for years. George and Brenden are the best! They are throwbacks to when people did a good job, the right way! Good guys!”
“They came right out and got the drain working and scheduled to come back after Christmas to fix the section of the sewer line that needed to be replaced! Quality work. I will hire them again!”
