 + 1 moreBob was professional, courteous, fair, honest, friendly and responsible. He either arrived on time or called ahead to update us on expected arrival time. He explained his work and wanted to give us the best value for our investment. He completed all work as promised and at prices quoted. Even though the support posts were in an ''unused'' commercial storefront basement, he installed them in the most aesthetically pleasing way because he said: ''I want to make sure all of my work is not only done properly but also to look nice.'' We love Bob and recommend him to anyone who needs work done residentially or commercially. Bottom line: This was our first experience with Angie's List. It already made our investment in Angie's List WELL WORTH IT!
Description of Work: They installed basement support posts, a new wall, and they fixed damaged sheet rock tape and drywall from water leakage. They also installed an exterior sign.
