Customer Review

Promptly answers & does the job in a timely manner.

Golden Rule promptly answers phone calls, and appointments are made the same or the next day. They stay in contact regarding appointments, and you are sent a photo of the repair person ahead of the appointment. They redirected the sump pump pipeline per city code. Skyler was professional and courteous throughout the time he was working. He listened to my explanations of what changes were required and made helpful suggestions when needed. He finished in a timely manner and checked to make sure everything worked when the job was completed.
