What homeowners say after the truck pulls out.
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Ran a new gas line for the range and the dryer. Pulled the permit, passed inspection first try, and cleaned up the drill shavings in the utility room."
"Good work on the sewer line, camera first so I could see the root ball myself. Took a day longer than quoted because of the rain, but they called me both mornings instead of leaving me guessing."
