The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Brand spanking new construction house in DE. Is this the level of workmanship customers should pay top $ for? This is disappointing, take a look at the pictures and decide for yourself. Even the wood chips are stuck in the sealant.”
Positive
“My experience was great. Joe arrived on time, he was efficient and effective. All my questions and concerns were answered in a language I could understand. And he took great care to protect my area while working and cleaned up before he left. Def a 10 star rating!”
“Wow! Having DJ come out today to help us with our new furnace was a very good experience. He's pleasant and very knowledgeable. We had new air cleaning features added. He did an excellent job explaining how they worked and the servicing required. When he left we felt very confident about the products and the process.”
