In our conversations with Ashish, it was abundantly clear that he and the entire NearU team operate with this same formula. Their unique vision for the home services industry, collaborative culture, and proven track record makes us supremely confident in their ability to deliver an exceptional experience for Bullman’s customers and employees,” said Jennifer Jones, Former Owner of Bullman Heating & Air.
