Technician supposed to be here at 8 am. Was a no show after 1 hour. If he were going to be late he should have called to reschedule or let me know arrival time. The man in the office blamed traffic. This might be true but does not excuse lack of communication.

Louis was early for our appointment, rekeyed the locks in under one hour, and went beyond what was required and tightened up door knobs for free. He was funny and honest and charged me a fair price. I highly recommend A-1.
