I worked with Nolan on a job for the first time and have to say, I was spoiled as the electrician on the job. Dropset is as professional as they come, skill and attitude both. I highly recommend Nolan. I most certainly will use this company again.

Nolan did an excellent job with my project; excavation, grading, and fill.  His bid was fair and reasonable.  He was very responsible; he showed up on time, worked consistently, and stayed extra to get the job done.  He was also very attentive and responsive to what I was trying to accomplish.  I would definitely hire him again!  See attached pictures of before and after.
