What Our Clients Think

"We worked mainly with Kyle Cantrill, and he was fantastic! In fact, all the Top Shelf workers were absolutely top notch!

Kyle is very skilled, always delivering high-quality work, and at a reasonable price. He really listened to us and helped us get just what we needed. If he could not do something, he referred us to another excellent professional on the team who could. He was on time, patient, dependable, thoughtful, and professional. He communicated all the way through. He always cleaned up each day and after each project.

We have already recommended Kyle and Top Shelf to others, and we plan to utilize them again in the future. Highly recommend!"
