Steven Balka was friendly, approachable, attentive, and asked all the right questions. He was responsive to my inquiries and made me feel like he was actually hearing what I said and communicating positively with me. I am extremely happy and satisfied with his services.I would recommend his services to everyone that I know, in fact, I have already mentioned him bother to family and friends. My overall opinion of him is very positive.
