"Excellent service. They called me immediately. They arrived on time gave me an estimate and had tool in the car to cut the ceiling and evaluate the framing on the same day. In a day or so sent a 6 page report including pictures and the drawings required to get the permit from the city to complete the framing. They made themselves available so my contractor could ask questions if needed. They didnâ t waste time with multiple trips. One other company wanted to charge me $350 to come out then for an additional charge they would have to come back to cut the ceiling to do a complete evaluation. I donâ t have time to keep taking off work So I didnâ t use them."

"I called 3 other companies before Double D. Double D responded was able to come out the same day. Doug listened to my problem in obtaining a permit. My husband was impressed with his professionalism and knowledge. Doug promised that he would get the report to us within 7 days. We received the report within 6 days. Doug explained his report and what we needed to do upon our return to the permit office. He also stressed that if we have any problems at the permit office to call him immediately."
