Report
Why can't Roland Iovescu stop rating his competition's Google accounts at 1 star? He works for R E I Plumbing and is not a customer of Straus Systems. Possibly an angry ex employee? Anyways, Ive been on jobs with Straus Systems and they do fine work. They are more well known on tge mechanical side but did well on plumbing too.
