Two reviews mention estimate follow-up issues. Ryan Morrison gave three stars after "never received the estimate." Martin Bowman on Facebook reported a similar experience, stating he "never received a quote." These represent exceptions within an otherwise strong review pattern, but suggest the company could benefit from improved estimate tracking and follow-up systems for initial inquiries.
