We have also been honored with visits from Eugene Brown, the subject of the movie “Life of the King.”

Even though we’re getting bigger, we still have small town service. If we ever lost a customer because of poor service, it would hurt the whole company. Everyone is dedicated to helping customers, in fact our policy is: employees have to get permission from a manager to say no to a customer.

We dedicate time in every area we service to helping the local community. We go to churches, schools, health clinics and volunteer, or local events and pitch in where we can. Our goal is to be a part of the community not just a company that makes money from it.
