Ahmed and his partner worked tirelessly to give us the best installation; the job had many details and a lot of custom cuts; they were executed flawlessly. They showed up when they said they would, performed tirelessly, and we would use them again. Kudos to our designer Georgina for her efforts to come up with the best design for this 88 years old home.
