Provides Excellent Customer Service

Andrew Corea, Facilities Management
Andrew and his crew are amazing. I did some major spring cleaning, and he had a dumpster ready for me and once that one was filled his crew came and replaced it with another one. They always provide excellent service. Thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication. I really appreciate you and your team.

Brad Ward, Technology Services
Our office on-boarded a handful of new hires, all in need of Zoom phones. Brad was exceptional. He reached out weekly to ensure that all new hires were on his radar and set up quickly. We truly appreciate his communication and willingness to support. Brad, a huge thank you from our team.
