Great rental experience! Tom was super helpful during the ordering process, answering all of my questions and helping me decide the best units to order for our event. On the day of, Joel went the extra mile during set up (even after we made him drive on some pretty gnarly unpaved roads to the event location!), his attention to detail and care in the set up was so thoughtful and helpful. Would recommend this company to anyone looking for great service and great rental options! Thanks again!
