Oh my, I met MIke in 2000 when he was kind enough to spray foam our house in Manchester, MA with Jim Farnahm as the GC. Jim spoke fondly of Mike, and after we met I soon discovered why. He was working with his small team, and took the time to describe the technical aspects of his product; his work ethic was evident and the deliverable was amazing. I find it challenging to write about a "product" here, but I can summarize by saying that I am blessed with the fact that I have a piece of MIke surrounding and comforting my home and family - god bless.
