There have been hiccups along the way but Adam and Sam and Jim have been nothing short of amazing to myself and staff.

Thank you so much Colley!

The removal and replacement of the piston was wisely planned in advance and the part pre-ordered for custom manufacture. Colley's technicians neatly mustered their tools and materials, protected the carpeting, safely blocked the work area, and gave a progress report. The elevator inspection was also wisely planned. Fortunately, there were no problems with the pit or the piston hole, and this could only be verified once the crew was down there and extracting the old piston in sections. The happy result was the elevator was back in service well before the best-case estimated completion date! Thank you, Colley Elevator!!!

He and his helper, Chino, left my house looking spotless. I will definitely be using LiveWire again. I am so glad to finally have an electrician I can rely on. Affordable, knowledgable, and good at what they do.

The final product was exactly as planned and discussed, and the final product showcases his team's commitment to detail.

I stumbled upon this on my walk to Chickpea. I saw the writing on the (glass) wall... without…read moreusing the largest fonts, but large enough, it advertised how it could handle all my printing needs. I said okay, let's see what it got against the love-to-hate Kinkos. Here's what I wanted... I had a USB jump-flash-disk drive. On it was a document (PDF) spanning a whole 2 pages. I needed it print and was going to go to Kinko's after finishing work at a client (and no, I couldn't print there as it was personal and not related to work). But I was walking to Chickpea for lunch and come across this little storefront. I thought, "great, I can get it done now and not drive to Kinko's afterwards (even though it was on my way, I hate parking around there in rush hour). I go in. It has a nice hanging sign instead of a wall. Except the sign was only half the width of the store, so you still could see the back. The interior isn't really much to write about. Its spartan, couple of sad looking copiers. I go in, and someone comes and asks me what I need done. I ask if they would be able to print my PDF document. Couple pages. Regular paper size. Black & White. She confirmed and went to ask in the back. A couple of minutes later, and she tells me the cost. $5. Yep. Five bucks for a couple of pages. I left. Kinko charges $0.10 per copy! Seriously. And Kinko's has a machine that reads your USB along with your CC so you can view the PDF at the copier. I don't know what they are thinking, but all she needed to do was plug it in her computer and hit print. It shouldn't be five bucks. It shouldn't even be a buck! I would give it one star, but I don't know how their prices compare to banners and other projects, which supposedly they specialize. Shop around before setting on this place.

FYI Had a rectangular antique oak kitchen table with one leaf and chairs contracted to repair; the…read morelegs were loose and wouldn't tighten. I also wanted a couple of chairs tightened, as they were loose. One guy came to my apartment, informed me that the table was from the 1970s, which I know for a fact was my great-grandmother's from 1918 or so. anyway. He didn't fix the leg correctly, as it was still loose. He told me to let it sit for a day. I did. When I looked at it the next day, it was still loose, and when I attempted to move it back into place, the entire leg broke off. I called them, and he came back out, did something to fix it, but it is still loose and not fixed correctly. They did work for me in the past, framing, rushing a chair, but this time I just ate the money. The chairs are ok now, but the leg, I guess, he just couldn't admit it was beyond his scope. I didn't call again. Id rather eat the money I spent on this than have this guy return.

The director, Mr. Reid Mackin is accessible, helpful and knowledgeable. Spend an hour here and you will walk away with some valuable information and input. The biggest challenge is finding them. Their Armitage Ave address is not readily visible and the place is a little hidden away in an industrial area and within a building labeled "Petra." Looks like the a spot where Kojak might end a car chase and corner the bad guys. (Hope that doesn't happen while you're there.) But, seriously, if you are toying with the idea of starting your own business, check it out. No fees. Great advice. Nice.
