“Working with McMillen is a pleasure. They bring a rare blend of intelligence, efficiency, and accuracy to their work. Additionally, they often anticipate significant changes that might occur in the field, and if an issue turns up during the job, it’s handled quickly and with an eye toward the long-term. I’m pressed to find a crew I’d rather work with.”
