“Props to Freddie and Jeremy! These guys are communicative, friendly, and professional. I especially want to thank Jeremy for everything he did for us. He ran the propane line for our new cooktop, converted it from natural gas to propane, and installed our unit seamlessly… IN SPITE OF an orifice that came cross threaded from kitchenaid’s factory, and clearance/fitment issues in our countertop. The installation issues were due to manufacturing issues and my mis-measuring, but he made us a top priority until the job was complete. He provided customer service WAY above and beyond anything we could have expected and we couldn’t be happier. Thanks Jeremy!”
