Missed calls and weak follow-through. Other reviewers report no-shows, unreturned messages, or a lack of responsibility when they tried to raise problems after the job. Representative review excerpt: "Made sure to be available at the agreed time and they were a no-show, no-call, and no response to my text after waiting an hour."

On-time appointments. Some reviewers describe punctual crews and say the company gave them the next available appointment while arriving as promised. Representative review excerpt: "They will give you the next available appointment and be ON TIME, FRIENDLY, PROFESSIONAL and COMPETENT."
Faster-than-expected completion. Other customers report that installation wrapped up sooner than anticipated, with only utility or final activation steps remaining.
