Christopher Duckwall, who has also been with the company since July 2021, shared insights about the daily operations and challenges faced by the team. “We manage calls, schedule jobs, and handle inventory, often filling in ourselves when needed. It can be hectic, but it’s a labor of love. Our primary focus remains on serving the people of Bluffton and the surrounding areas.”
