This has been accomplished by doing the simple things like showing up on time, keeping clients informed, respecting the homes they work in, and doing projects for the price they agreed upon.

In an industry where word-of-mouth marketing and refer- rals are imperative, Dan has an ever growing network of amazing clients, suppliers, and subcontractors who spread the word of Monk’s honesty, professionalism, and concise
