If you have a concern about anything, please get back to us ASAP! Any business that is not made aware of, or not allowed to address and correct a problem, cannot be held responsible.   We may not be able to please all of the customers all of the time, but that is our goal!

Almost 50% of our gross margin goes to taxes, insurance, inventory costs, materials, utilities, lane maintenance, etc.

It is our goal to charge no more than we have too, but enough to keep our business running and profitable.  If any business cannot make a fair profit for very long, the laws of business will produce the following:

A cut back on services and quality of work
Less time spent on each customer
A loss of interest in doing the best job for each customer
A failure to pay for cost of goods, rent, loans, insurance, etc.
A failure to keep up on the latest technology
An unprofessional place of business that is cluttered and disorganized
Inability to pay sales or income taxes
A failed business
