I wanted to write and say thank you and how pleased I am with the services you have provided Good Samaritan Hospital. The work has been top quality, your staff is excellent and you are willing to do whatever it takes to meet our needs. I have been in facility management over 17 years and have never received the amount of unsolicited compliments, from my customers about a contractor, as I do with your firm.

Thanks so much for looking into and correcting the recent situation we had. As soon as you found out you handled it right away. You could have made things much more difficult, but because you have integrity and honor, you saw something was wrong and you righted it. These days it is getting harder and harder to find these qualities. Dan, you are a class act and I thank you.
