Report
Receptionist was very sweet. But still havent heard from the demo guy. My first phone call to them was more than 2 weeks ago. As of 2 days ago, I have taken care of tue concrete. To anyone reading this review; these folks are local, they are good company and I do believe they can take care of business.
