$250

Rico did a great job, I was very impressed. He and Arnold were friendly and courteous, I was very comfortable having them in the house. They communicated clearly about what they were doing and how long it would take. They did a great job, including patching extra cracks in the hallway and left the area clean by vacuuming, and cleaning tiny paint spots. I would happily have Rico work with me again.
