What Our Customers Are Saying
Michelle Magid
“ABC is simply the best company around. We started using them a decade ago for pest control. Then we slowly transitioned to using them for everything— our air conditioning services, our plumbing, our handyman services, and now our electricity. ABC gives me hope that businesses can still be ethical, have excellent customer service, and provide high quality work at a good price. Zach Sellers is the electrician that just installed lights in our garage and extra plugs in our bathroom. He was so polite. His work had the precision of a neurosurgeon!!! Three years, we ended our home warranty insurance with American Home Shield. Home Shield often could not do the job (twice, we called ABC to fix their work) or were unable to come out in a timely manner. ABC employees are more skilled, more efficient, and nicer than anyone that Home Shield sent. I love ABC and I highly recommend them for ALL your home needs.”
S. Strong
“ABC Home & Commercial Services has been doing pest control around my house for many years. They are reliable and I like the fact that I get notification in advance of the date of service, and also that the technician communicates clearly when he will be arriving by text and phone. I have had the same technician for years, and it is reassuring to know who will working in my yard. He is scrupulous in avoiding getting chemicals on the area under the porch where the dogs hang out, and also about closing and securing the gates to the yard.”
