Madeleine Nadon, Homeowner

“We were very impressed with your heavy duty machinery, and realized we were not dealing with a start-up company. All workmen on the site knew their jobs and performed all labour with such care and skill. I must add a personal comment that the workers were very amicable, answered all our questions and did not mind the interruptions when we asked for clarification as to what they were doing”

Jean McConnell, Former Manager of Recreational Arenas and Swimming Pools - City of Greater Sudbury
