Miller & Sons, Inc.
Septic Tank Services in York
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsFebruary 13, 2017
“As a Realtor we rely on other service providers in the area including contractors, inspectors , and septic service companies like Miller and Sons. In the fast paced environment that we work in to get homes to settlement on time these contractors need to be reliable. That is why I always recommend Miller and Sons septic to my buyers and sellers. They are always on time, very knowledgeable in their field of work, and they always are courteous with my buyers and sellers and are respectful of the property.”
BetterWay Excavating LLC
Septic Tank Services in York
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 13, 2013
“Scott Thomas (Better Way Excavating) has performed several projects for the Deer Run HOA. In each of these cases he responded to our phone requests; followed up in a timely manner; and completed the work on or before the expected due dates. All of our projects were completed in a professional manner and in many cases Scott was able to advise the Board of Directors which of the solutions were cost effective and would take care of the problems. We can report that every job has been 100% and at a cost that we felt was very reasonable for the work he performed. The Deer Run Board would not hesitate to recommend his company to any prospective client. Projects were on Stover Court, Deer Run Drive, and Limestone Drive in Hummelstown, PA 17036”
