Canceled 10 min before arrival!
1 hour late, no call, no apologies. Thankful to have found a more affordable and reliable person on Craigslist.
John called me 10 minutes before they were supposed to arrive and canceled because he said he did not service our area. He did not set me up with somebody else.
