 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hired Aerial Crane Service to hang trusses on a new construction. Wayne was extremely professional and an amazing operator able to place each truss with speed and accuracy. Safety is extremely important and I felt at ease with such a professional operator. I would highly recommend using Aerial Crane Service and I certainly will be using them on all my future projects.
