Report
Personal responsibility and integrity either exist or they don't. The same is true in business. Rj Masonry shattered my windshield with a large rock that fell from their truck/trailer combo, Aug. 17, 2016 on Hwy 248 at 915am. Robert Hicken/owner and the driver acknowledged the accident, yet refused to do the right thing...repair the damage. Customers/drivers beware.
