The work speaks, but so do the people who paid for it.
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Disposal was humming and jammed. Fixed it rather than replacing it, which I did not expect. Only reason for four stars is they arrived at the late end of the window."
