I am opening a new business and needed a "Fire Permit" from the county. The owner of Alternative…read moreFire, Bryan was terrific. The prior tenant did some work without permits. I asked Bryan to take care of the entire process of getting County inspections and approval. My inspection triggered the fire department to require the entire 10 unit strip mall to have inspections. Bryan inspected all units and made improvements that the fire department required. All tenants were very pleased with Bryan's professionalism and his very reasonable prices. When it came to my unit Bryan drove to the county offices to get the plans and permit, then later he met with the fire inspector. Bryan did 100% of what was required and no issues were raised, therefore we received immediate approval. Bryan's services were immediate, very reasonable and most effective, due to his knowledge and experience. In addition, he is personable and was honest and responsible with all our encounters. I give Bryan my highest recommendation. Please note his new address.

I can honestly say I don't think I've ever had service like this from anyone. He was so helpful, kind, professional, and just a super cool cat.
