Absolutely love this business! Top notch operation run by top notch individuals. The staff is wonderful they never make you feel rushed pressured taken advantage of or taken for granted they don't treat their customers like a burden they actually act like they are happy to have your business. They have utmost concern for safety organization and a sensible procedure all the way around. Hard to find these substantial traits these days. Keep up the outstanding work!

A trip to Padnos is always an adventure. Friendly staff accurate pricing and (my favorite) a big crane. I have never left there without a smile.
