Rena B.

Air Force Veteran

Thank you for all your support for this wonderful opportunity I was given for maintenance at my home. The TMG Cares team, Summit Reconstruction, and Edgar's Cleaning Services have given me some worry-free relief with my homeowner woes. Home maintenance can be daunting and I really appreciate the help. I hope I can assist in the future with another Veteran homeowner.
