I've been doing business with Border Sheet Metal for five years. I'm not sure why I've not written a review til now because it has always been well deserved. Everyone I've ever dealt with is fantastic, right down to the wonderful woman that answers the phone and schedules appointments. They've always taken care of my primary residence and today was their first appointment at my rental. And again the service was phenomenal. The heater is very old and Bryant gave it some TLC and says it should be good for 4-5 more years, but did tell me to start saving my pennies. I will. And when that time comes Border Sheet Metal will be installing the new system. Guaranteed. Thank you to all of you for always going above and beyond. Great prices too!!

Upon doing business with Border Sheet Metal and Heating, you recognize that quality is a value. They have service that was prompt and attentive which focused not on making a profit. We were provided multiple options and had excellent communication after service.They have our continued business and we'll continue to share positive reviews with others.

Ken provided outstanding service during annual maintenance of our HVAC system. My fireplace practically looks new and functions so much better after his thorough cleaning of the logs and components. He took special care to keep his work area clean and even gave my husband good tips on local fishing holes. We can highly recommend Ken at Border Sheet Metal.

Love this company! They installed heating for me and went above and beyond! The house was old and needed some brave men to crawl in the crawl space! Now they are doing my AC! Great guys! Great company!
