From the initial meeting to discuss my job, to the end when picking up the completed task, the staff at TNN where always friendly, and willing to discuss options and solutions to my engineering problems. At all times the team kept up good communications, and kept me informed as to the progress of my job. The job itself, and quality of workmanship is far superior than others in their field. I could not have asked for a more structurally engineered product. Can't recommend the team at TNN enough, thank you !!
