“Job was arranged quickly at a date convenient for me. Good communication throughout. New gutter and fascia board installed and union joint moved across as per my instruction. Reasonable price, friendly workmen. Fabio is very amenable, and honest with pricing. What I particularly liked was his advice to install eaves protectors as I had none and the felt was rotting at the ends. I had never heard of eaves protectors!!! Many workmen may have just did the job agreed. I googled it, and it was a necessary addition at a fair price. 5 year guarantee. I would use again, and recommend.”
