Alex was very professional, approachable, and scrupulous. He genuinely wanted to find the right solution to my problem. In fact he came back twice to inspect my property and the second time with a colleague he thought could help because of his particular experience with the specific problem we were trying to solve.…

"I had a great experience with Alex Despain w/ kanga. Unlike other companies that charge just to show up, they only charge for the actual assessment. The technician was incredibly honest, thorough, and didn't try to upsell me on services I didn't need. Highly recommend them for their transparency and professionalism!"
