Drexel is a small town on US-70 between Morganton and Valdese, built around a furniture plant that ran for most of the twentieth century. The lots are older and compact and the ground has some fall to it.
Why that matters on a job site
Compact older lots mean access decides the machine, and the machine decides the price. We look at the approach before quoting.
