 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dominec was fantastic! He communicated well to schedule and proactively reached you to reschedule when a blizzard impacted our appointment. He was on time and worked quickly and efficiently. He helped work through troubleshooting what was causing our leak to try to minimize the amount of work needed and the amount it would cost. He went above and beyond to answer questions and ensure the problem was fully fixed. He was extremely reasonable with the cost and was great to work with. He has a customer for life in me!
