This company is wonderful. This process is scary and uncomfortable for everyone but at 78 it’s terrifying. Everyone has been kind, patient and helpful. Trevor is exceptional. For a young g man he is very at ease with older people and takes his time to answer any questions and to make sure we understand what we need to know and how important it is to stay away for the correct amount of time. He is very thorough in every room and also let us know what he found or as in our case what he didn’t find. We are very happy and satisfied with this company and every person we interacted with and would highly recommend them.
