Ali was friendly and polite. He showed great attention to detail to make sure the job was done well. He kept me informed the whole way through, and was patient with my umming and ahhing over the specifics of where things should go. He went above and beyond in offering me advice about what sort of shelves to get, how to install them, and what length they should be. Would happily use him again and recommend him to friends and family. Thanks Ali!
