“He went the extra mile”

I called Jason Callais at Gavnat and Associates when I was dealing with a roof install gone bad. I wondered if I needed a Public Insurance Adjuster to navigate the issues. Even though Jason thought I could do this on my own — he took the time to look at my insurance claim, clarify the unfamiliar terms, and walk me through my options. He went the extra mile out of the goodness of his heart. I am very impressed. Thank you Jason!
