“The #1 thing I would say about DVC is that they are reliable. If they say that they will do a job, you can count on them showing up. They go out of their way to make sure the customer's needs are met and that they are satisfied. When pricing or paperwork of any kind is needed, it is sent in a timely manner. The bottom line, they make any job easier.”
