“Project was replacement of flooring in hall and bathroom due to wet rot from malfunctioning appliances. Conversations on the work were good with staff. I needed to clarify scope of work in contract. The staff was patient while we picked flooring materials. Eddie was great to work with and ensured that we could walk throughout the work area every evening. Work went steadily. Punchlist of corrections was well received and corrections to work made quickly. Very pleased with service. Michael Belluomini”
