He was pleasant and accommodating in scheduling the appointment, verified the appointment prior to arrival and showed up on time. That alone gets a good review, but once here he was polite, professional and friendly. He was able to solve the issues with the blinds and went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy with everything before departing. **★★★★★ — Ross Howard Designs, Oct. 2016** > Outstanding work ethic!!! > Articulate, dependable and very knowledgeable. > You will not be left wondering how do I operate this installation?
