I would be remiss if I didn't share with my neighboring districts how fabulous XL Construction is. They are working on the 7th project for NUSD, and they are by far the best contractor that I have ever had on a project. They provide white-glove service from precon to punch. Their team is extremely knowledgeable, professional, kind, and just great human beings overall...
