Customer Feedback:
Excelsior Roofing Co
“I’ve used Excelsior on two different occasions— to refurbish a roof and to do some repair work around the edges. They are professional, arrive on time, and are polite and clean. They have a lot of experience. I’m very happy with their work.”

Customer Feedback:
Atlas Heating & Air Conditioning
“They re-did our duct work for us 5 years ago, and then recently came back to install a new heater and air conditioner. They tried a lot of different things when they were doing the bids to give us the best price and best result. We’ve already recommended them to some friends.“

Customer Feedback:
The Upholstery Shop
“I’m an interior designer and have had only excellent experience with them. They’ve done 30 or 40 pieces for my clients, and I’ve never had a problem. They’re the experts- I tell them what I’m looking for and they make it work.”
