Darrell , Cynthia, and the crew of Vanguard did a great job on my kitchen remodel. My home is over 40 years old and the kitchen needed a complete gut. It was easy to communicate with Darrell, his wife and crew on what I wanted. I was very happy with the work. I will definitely be contacting them again next time I need work done in my home. - Mrs. Rubio
