lucky to have them

I wanted to let you know I appreciate Charlie and Owen on campus. Charlie was a huge asset to this project and provided great value to its success, and Owen did an exceptional job communicating and coordinating with the UST facilities team. I value their approach, work ethic, and the overall personality they bring each day. It is a pleasure working with Charlie and Owen, and Collins is lucky to have them.

Tremendous Team

Your team here at MOA has been tremendous. There hasn't been one thing that they did not jump on right away. Warren made himself available from the beginning without hesitation, and Cameron and Ryan were both extremely professional. I would like to thank Cameron in particular for his attention to detail from layout to installation. Bottom line, your team has been one of the best and easiest crews I have ever worked with. I would recommend you to anyone.

Big Thanks

A big thanks to you and your team (Shelley Hill and Phil Marten) for planning and working the details for a successful job.  Special thanks to Shelley for working the late shift and her knowledge of our plant.

How can we help with your next project?
