Hello!
I had the pleasure of meeting Jay this week. I had a long list of to-do's and he completed almost every one of them. The ones he wasn't able to complete was due to the cold and snow but we will complete the tasks when the weather is warmer.
He gave me an estimate for a shower repair and we would like to proceed with that.
I was very pleased with Jay and his work. He is a pleasant, hard working fellow who also happens to have the patience of a saint when it comes to my many barking dogs!
Sincerely,
Melanie D - Burnsville, MN 55337
