“Mr. Lee took time to explain, in detail, his quote and to answer any questions. He treated me with respect and I was important to him. Very uncommon. No pressure to commit to the job. The initial inspection was through and complete. Not even a complaint about the crawl space access. Looking forward to the job at hand.”
