I have used Poor John's several times over the many years I owned the house on 58th St. and they have always done a great job for me. I have done most of my business with them over the phone since I live in Little Rock Arkansas and they were very complete and trustworthy. The prices they charge have been fare and I was never over charged for any work that did not have to be done. I would strongly recommend them.
