Ordered insulation to finish my detached garage. Specified framing and type I wanted. Stressed the importance of delivery for the weekend. I took delivery on Friday @ 3pm, it was wrong. The 5 star review is because of an Employee named Matt who understood the urgency, checked the order, ensured there was correct stock and got the truck back out to me before 4pm same day. Big thanks to the driver and boys in the back for the fast switch. Sometimes mistakes happen, how they dealt with it is the reason I would recommend their services.

I had to rush to get supply’s this past weekend to repair a mudroom door that blew apart during the storm. Everyone at challenger was kind and patient with me, even during my panicked state. They asked helpful questions and confirmed all the material I needed. Great local business.
