Congrats to Tim D’Antonio and the opening of his new Screenmobile business. Tim is a great guy and one that like all Screenmobile mom-and-pop operators will go out of their way to exceed their customer’s expectations. Where is what you can expect if you were to call on Tim for your screening needs.
