Report
If i could give 0 stars i would. i had a security light set up in my backyard and 1. it was not installed properly, doesn't even match the pictures on the box of how it should've been placed and 2. a HOLE was drilled into our kitchen CRACKING the drywall and causing a huge mess. THE WHOLE ENTIRE DRYWALL IS GOING TO NEED REPAIRED and they still charged us $300 for the "work" that was done. The guy that came out didn't even have the proper equipment and left for an hour to buy something.ended up getting a truck charge of $50 if this does not get fixed to my expectations it will go to BBB and worse. my kitchen is destroyed thanks to speelman
