See above --- that's the story
Description of Work: Our 30 year old solar hot water system was acting strangely. Roark repaired it -- several times, but it was not their fault. Some of the new parts they installed were defective from the manufacturer. They lost money on this job, but never complained. I offered to pay something additional, but they refused my offer. Nice, competent people. Pleasure to work with.
