Customer Review

I want to share with you and your team that I am very happy with you and Larry’s work yesterday.

My wife cooked up a storm … and barely a smell lingered on for more than 45 minutes. This is what we had in our house in Manotick- and now, you have done the same in this house.

I was also impressed with Larry- Great work, Respectful, took the time to explain what he would do, cleaned up after the job.”

Thanks again for the great service.
