  • April 7, 2012

    Wow, just wow! This is a very dedicated business with a very dedicated staff, from their rentals to their projects everything is wonderful. This is sheer wonderful! I love them, but sometimes their employees a bit hard to understand (Sorry guys!) But, Eamon, the owner, is great! He is very hard-working! You can really tell that he loves what he does! Also, Roman, (an employee) is super! Be sure to give 'em a call!! They are great!
