Dec 15, 2020 Report
We had a very horrible experience with Chris, owner at CBS Mechanical. Over promise and under deliver is what we experienced constantly from the bid to the actual invoice on the job, to getting the work done in a timely fashion, to the quality of workmanship. To cap it off he stepped on a fire sprinkler line in the attic above our lobby resulting in over $15,000 in water damage and repairs needed.

See pic. Give Wilmington Air a call. It took Chris almost 2 weeks to even start a job replacing insulation on a duct. Wilmington Air was onsite for an estimate the same day as we called and had the repair completed within 3 days.

Chris and the guys at CBS Mechanical are unreal. I've used them over the past 4 years for a Wilmington property that I have. It never fails that my AC unit stops working after 5pm. I call CBS and the guys are all over it. They went out recently in 100 degree heat in under and hour. Seriously-call these guys. Awesome work.
