I called Clifford for front door measurements as I am ordering a new custom front door. He said that he had some time before starting a new job and within a day (unheard of in the contracting world) he came to do the measurements. He not only did an extremely thorough and meticulous job of measuring but he also called the company that I was ordering the custom door from to go over the measurements.

I was overly impressed with him and the owner of the door company was as well! I HIGHLY recommend him! I will hire him to install my new door as well! If he does such a meticulous job on just door measurements
