I certainly appreciate all of Jim McLoed's (Mount Valley Representative) time in answering my questions and re-visiting my aunt's home prior to your service. Also, the crew leader and his crew were very professional. In fact, the foreman thoroughly explained not only the process beforehand but also instructed me afterwards on who/what, etc., I needed to complete the aesthetics inside. Thank you for all of your help.
