"Learning that porous and non-porous surfaces get treated completely differently was new information, but it made sense once explained." — Homeowner, Fairfax Station
"They got to our kitchen faucet fast enough that it never even started pitting, which the adjuster said was lucky timing on our part." — Homeowner, Fairfax Station, VA
