“
After moving into our brand-new building in June one cold frosty morning we opened the front doors to be met with water. The cause of this was from a burst pipe due to the frost causing water to flow throughout our brand-new building and had been for some hours. What to do? – Ring Gordon; who had been cleaning the carpets in our old building on Princess Street, with an SOS.
To Gordon’s credit he responded instantly bringing with him vacuum systems and dehumidifiers to start the clean-up operation. He worked solidly over the weekend to have our building operable by Monday morning. Being a Funeral Home, we couldn’t not have our building operable.
I couldn’t and can’t speak highly enough about Gordon. He is always available and, in my opinion, does a first class job and is so easy to deal with. I recommend his services to you. “
