Fred and Wayne were great from beginning to end. They are honest and their price was MORE than fair. It was a difficult issue that I had but they never gave up. They were courteous and up front and I couldn’t be more pleased with the results of their very hard work. Hire these guys. You’ll be glad ya did.
