"Our property was a virtual dumping ground and as a result we found some serious environmental issues later in the process. We were pleased with the work Principle did to guide us through a precarious process of clearing all the hurdles to clean up the property. We were also impressed with the sensitivity and respect the Principle staff showed towards the spiritual nature of our church building."
