What ARC Firestop Solutions clients are saying...
- Hillis-Carnes Engineering Associates
Thank you gentlemen, it was great working with professionals like yourselves at the JHU Applied Physics Lab.
- Buch Construction
ARC Firestop Solutions went above and beyond expectations as a subcontractor on the 3700 East West Hwy project. They assisted in designing multiple unique conditions which required firestopping. Their quick detailed team was able to execute these numerous conditions in a timely manner to assist a tight project schedule.
- Dana Duke, I.T. & Operations Development Consultant
Joe is the perfect example of how a person should run a business. He’s extremely detail oriented, laser focused on getting the job done right, and is as thorough as a NASA Engineer (I can attest this since my uncle was one). I’m continually amazed with his organizational abilities, but even more impressed with Joe’s ability to make everyone around him feel “right at home” (like you’re an old friend), even though you may have just met him for the very first time.
