When remodeling our new home, we contacted Watkins to handle our interior demolition. Most of our dealings were with Bryn; he was incredibly knowledgable, helpful, and professional... keeping us abreast of our progress at every turn, consulting us when issues arose, and offering good recommendations for proceeding.
