I called John to get a quote so I could compare him with two other professionals. He was prompt in calling me back and accommodated my tight timeframe to get it done . I had done my research and the brand and quality of product He used is one of the best you can get. I am a DIY person usually but his price was right and the outcome is fantastic. I would use him again In heart beat .
