Very unprofessional service from tech, no attention to detail, overpriced quotes, travel fees coming from Maryland, and not worth the trouble. Going with a local company instead.

Guardian Fire technician Dave Gordon was outstanding to work with today. He was punctual, mannerly, and very informative while answering my questions. He came in and got right to work and left the place better than he found it. Thanks again.
