We post work examples on our HPNW facebook page. It is the best place to see our current work displayed and described. We post around one example per week, so if you "like" us on facebook, you will see our work samples in your feed.

Here are STEP-BY-STEP examples of our work stored in albums on facebook. Each album describes a different kind of repair such as cleaning, resetting, leveling, etc.
