Correction of Prior Inappropriate Repairs 


Our industry is plagued with professionals and contractors employing poor and inappropriate repair methods and materials.
We specialize in cleaning up after those failed attempts, and providing logical, well thought out solutions which cure the underlying root causes and are long lasting and durable.
