After much frustration and a couple of wasp stings, Joshua Tamarit from Bulwark came out to service my home. He assured me he would get to the bottom of my problem....and he did! He took his time inspecting around my deck, shed and carport, and found what 2 other techs couldn't. THANKS JOSHUA. You retained a now very happy customer .
