Alex is an absolute dream. We needed to replace quite a few locks/deadbolts/door handles in our house and he made the whole process as painless as possible. Fair prices and great work!

Needed to change out two deadlocks after losing the keys. Call around after Googling and found Alex on my second call. This wasn’t an emergency but he came over within 2 hours and had the job completed in less than an hour. He is very personable and professional.
