Do NOT give them any money! It’s a scam! I paid 199.00 for them to come to my home and lie and say they took care of things when they DID NOT. I call the same main number to get help and someone not even in the United States answers! Run as fast as you can from this company!

All of my experiences with Presto-X have been excellent, but my experience with Caleb and Guiness have been top notch. I am glad that they are available to help us with inspections.

My parents are elderly, and I live out of town. They needed help and Chris made the whole process much easier. Chris was diligent, punctual, communicative, competent, and empathetic. The service technicians who provided the service were also capable and nice. Overall, despite the stressful circumstances, it was a good experience.
