Lindsey Camper
Carolina Renovation and Maintenance, Inc.
Rachel Della Valle is great, and I appreciate that compared to some other firms I have worked with, your firm is very turn-key. Getting green certifications is always going to create additional headache and additional work. SEM keeps that additional work/headache to a minimum. Lots of good followup, lots of reviewing the plans and filling out checklists, occasional lists of questions - exactly what we need.
