“They said will pump the water, used 7-8 pail to take out the water. It takes days to reply. 0 review if I can.”
“They send the service tech out to try to figure something out and don't do anything didn't even try to look for a leak when I told them we had a leak somewhere I had notified them that the carpet was saturated with water and they planned on sending a second technician out without any type of Wet Vac or fans to dry the carpet and they have appointment times that range from 1:00 to 4 hours they are worse than the …”
“7/18/25: Thank you for the disingenuous reply. Yes the technicians fixed my AC but my review and complaints were never concerned their ability to fix the AC. It was always about the lack of customer service, accountability and communication from the admin team. Yes my AC was fixed but did we really have to go back and forth, or could someone have just called me the moment they knew my appointment time had changed. …”

“Fermín and his partner, Ignacio, did an excellent job installing our new shower. They were very professional and polite, and they left no trace of dirt or mess. What was supposed to be a two-day job was completed in just one day, which I really appreciated because I have two kids under three years old. They did a fantastic job, and I'm very happy with the results.”
