Allen was an amazing contactor. Always on time, neat and tidy plus his workmanship was perfect. I always appreciated all that he did on my old 1857 house. He will be missed but never forgotten. Deepest sympathy sent to his wife Sharon and his adult children Ryan and Heidi along with his son-in law and grandchildren. May Allen be in God's hands now and your memories help you through to the other side of grief.
