Our experience so far with Home Upgrade Specialist Inc has been fantastic. Every associate we have spoken to has been kind, professional, flexible and eager to earn our business. We have met with our project manager, Nitai, and were very impressed by his knowledge and enthusiasm. We are very excited to work on our second project together! We already finished new roof project and starting windows project next week.
