Report
For those who love their designs you should go take a look at End o' Day motel located at 350 E. 8th Street, Durango, CO. They are owned by the same individual and should be a red flag for the quality of work you will receive. The companies original response to my review included an attack on my character utilizing false information, which was edited out after I threatened legal action. If that doesn't tell you all you need to know to stay away, I don't know what will.
