Testimonials
Work Completed:
Fence garden and install gate
Thank You to Eddie for His Excellent Service. We needed to fence our garden and install a gate, and Eddie was quick to respond to our inquiry. He asked all the right questions to ensure the job was done perfectly and paid great attention to detail. He also took the initiative to communicate with our landlord, putting him at ease throughout the process. Our landlord was extremely satisfied as well.
Not only was Eddie’s service top-notch, but his pricing was very competitive. Other companies had quoted us much higher prices. I highly recommend Eddie to anyone in need of his services.

Ranchslider Repair
I absolutely appreciate you sending out Tama to fix our Ranchslider. He definitely knows what he’s doing and takes pride in all that he does. Easy to talk to as well. I gifted him with a banana cake that I had baked earlier this afternoon. No need to send me a survey on the job done today as it speaks for itself in my text
