As a small business owner in Albany I thought I'd give a shout out to a few awesome companies we've hired in the last year that we highly recommend and one company who was not so awesome.
First of all Reddstone Masonry. Amazing craftsmanship, honest, hard-working and delivers on his promises. Highly recommend 10/10.
Next is Corie Hinton Michaels. She's an amazing muralist in our area. She has completed 3/4 of our reptile mural and we would definitely hire her back. 10/10.
I also have to give a shout out to Rice Heating. They are always available, even in the heat of summer when they are extremely busy, they come running when we call. They replaced one of our rooftop air conditioning units and have very competitive pricing. We also chose them for our residential air conditioning needs and they far exceeded our expectations. 10/10.
And not to be negative but I do have to mention this. I'm not going to mention them by name, but they are the construction company that is located right next door to us. They damaged some of our brickwork and when we confronted them about it they denied it and said we had no proof. They were very unprofessional and dishonest. -100/10.
