Report
Excellent service from first initial phone to call to finished job changing the lock as the keys to the front door had been lost. Really appreciated the politeness, professionalism and cleanliness. Top quality workmanship and very reasonable cost. Highly recommended.

Report
Key snapped in the lock. Larry was at my house within 5 mins, and had me inside 2 mins after that. No need for a new lock and no attempt to try and sell me unnecessary work. Fast, polite, honest.
