“I had the pleasure of working with Mr. Billy Merop for a public and monumental project. He was timely, informative, and went over the top to assure we received a quality product that was above and beyond what we expected. We appreciate the concern he had for our project and the product he provided even with unforeseen logistics concerns out of our control. I would highly recommend his services in a commercial/industrial/public setting.”
