This is a fairly old experience I had but I felt was worthy of giving Wrede &sons a good review. Several years ago when we were all forced to get on the TLRSD sewer system I made the choice to do the hook up myself. I went to Wrede and sons with my list of supply's I would need. I was sure everything I needed was 3- 1/2 inch but Wrede's was sure I would need 4 inch. So they gave me everything I needed in BOTH sizes and told me just to bring back whatever size I didn't use.
I told them I didn't really want to pay for double everything up front and Mr. Wrede himself said no problem he understood, just pay for the used materials when I brought back the un-used. God is my witness this is true and I was completely blown away. I told him what a way to do business, I mean nobody does business that way anymore. A hand shake, Mr. Wrede told me well maybe more people should. I have been in a couple times for some small things over the past few years and I will never go anywhere else for my project needs.

I love all of the options Wrede & Sons provides. I especially love the option to borrow a courtesy truck.
