Root Brothers is our “go to” supplier. They consistently provide impeccable day to day customer service, but they really went above and beyond when the City had record flooding back in 2008 and we needed emergency supplies at 10:00 at night. They opened the business and got us the equipment needed to keep O’Hare and the City running. Thanks for being a partner who can get us the equipment we need, when we need it.Barrett M., Managing Deputy Commissioner, Water Department — City of Chicago
