Judith Brenneke loved the interior paint job on her three-bedroom home so much that she hired the company again to paint the trim and garage on the outside. "They were fast and efficient in getting me a quote," Brenneke says. "I wish every service provider I've ever used was as efficient, helpful and willing to work way beyond my expectations. These wonderful young painters were willing to add additional jobs as needed."

Tri-County sprang to the rescue when a rusty, broken garage door left Susan Coppedge trapped at home. "They immediately replaced both springs in record time, indicating it wouldn't be worth the cost just to replace the track," Coppedge says. "They said my money would be better spent replacing the entire unit with a new, quieter one, when the time comes. The final invoice was less than the estimated quote. I am quite pleased."
