It took my dad 8 months to get his homes back up and running. The same amount of work would have taken 6 weeks in Birmingham. So yes, prices are very high, it’s either do it yourself or pay a sky high price and don’t expect it completed in a timely manner.



These are the same kinds of stories we are hearing and seeing.

What was the name of the restaurant?
