He was thorough…

We called Lightning Bug to bring our daughter’s new home up to date. There were many issues left by the previous owners. I asked for Steve, who had worked on my house. Steve did an excellent job.

Steve literally saved my house from burning down! I bought a house two months ago and my inspector did a horrible job.
