I have had quite a few dealings with Southern Cat. For what it's worth, they have been the consummate professional, in every sense. Their supervisors are highly trained, safety oriented, and budgetary minded at all times. On top of that, there are three people at the top; Nathan, Jennifer and Jason, who lead their teams with a true moral compass. I would recommend Southern Cat to anyone that is looking for a solid performance from one of the best in the business.

Southern Cat is amongst the best company I have ever had the opportunity to work with as a subcontractor. The way they treat their clients as well as their subcontractors is extraordinary. It is so rare these days to have a " competitor " teach , educate , lead by example , show complete honesty , trustworthiness and transparently another company it its own filed . All in order to help you become a better company and in the long run make them a better leader of their community .
This isn't only present from their ownership it comes from the management staff , office staff and the hands on techs in the field .Sincerely Gary King ASDT
