We have used RCM several times now, both at our old house and current. Chris has seemed to be the only company that doesn't randomly find issues and upcharge. Out of the 4 or 5 companies we have used in the past, River City is the only one we hire back. Our problems have ranged from small to large, and he has handled all of them, in a timely and professional manner. Alisha is very professional and responsive as well. Excellent small company, we cannot praise them enough.

Workers parked across the only disabled parking spaces in a small lot, and company did not respond to email regarding the situation. Completely unacceptable!!

★★★★★Erica Cook7 years agovia Google

Chris and Andrew were awesome, knowledgeable and super helpful when it came to inspection time. They 100% went above and beyond. They installed a whole new system, a nest thermostat, and even put the vents/registers where the picky designer side of me wanted them. I’m a realtor and will definitely be recommending River City Mechanical to all of my clients when they’re in need of HVAC work. Thanks guys!
