The company I work for contracted Arthur Smith for several jobs over the past 4 years and we are always extremely happy about his performance. Dealing with David, or the rest of the staff is easy and correct. They always try to go the extra mile for you and you the personal attention is appreciated. I can't say I had a bad experience with these guys up until now, on the contrary.
