Fast, efficient, dependable, and very helpful. I called on Sears originally, but after my appointment was delayed multiple times throughout the day, I received a text telling me my appointment was cancelled for the day and rescheduled for four days later (and the diagnostic fee was twice what Justin charged!!!). I canceled them, scheduled Justin, who came one day later, at the scheduled time, and showed up on time again the day after we received the part! We highly recommend JCS Construction!!
