“I like working with Patriot Erectors because it is easy. I give a call, set up a date and time for work, and they are always there. I have done little stuff with Patriot and big stuff like a skyway connection of two buildings at Walker Plaza Gardens in Anoka, MN. Their team is always working safely being tied off and I don’t have to fight them on safety.”
