Jeff was friendly however the quality of the work was subpar and i will have to have most of it fixed or redone. The dehumidifiers monitor doesnt work straight from installation and the duct work was effectively taped to the ceiling in a sloppy manner. Unfortunately i cant say i will use this company again.
