Hugo and Chelsea lead a team known for showing up on time, staying in touch throughout jobs, and delivering polished plaster finishes. They wrap decks, clean oversprays, and work weekends when needed. Two older complaints stand out: one about a worker's loud phone calls early morning, and another regarding the company's practice of sending registered lien-threat letters to all clients regardless of payment status.
