Simon is a very efficient and pleasant worker. We have had him repair our solar tube lights , and he has installed 2 whole house fans as well. He does an amazing job and communicates exactly when he will be there. No time is wasted! We have been very happy with Tubular George Solatube service and products and would definitely recommend!
