The Work: Keeping the Peace
Before Downspout RepairAfter Downspout RepairNothing sours the community vibe faster than a dispute between neighbors. We found ourselves in the thick of such a dispute last week. A dispute that had the potential to get ugly. The culprit? One downspout that another vendor had installed on the wrong side of the property.

Our Community: HELLO Julian Eiers – The main man in the trenches

The independence James gives me as an employee. Naturally there are rules and regulations that need to be followed but management allows me to be creative, offer my own input and speak my mind, allowing for a more collaborative team effort.
