Rick Anderson thrives on challenges. He has the skill and knowledge to fix it, remake it as necessary and succeed at whatever job he is given. As Rick served Soar Minden with workmanship second to none for nearly twenty years, he continues to do the same quality work for others. If you want the best work done in a timely fashion see Rick. No challenge is too great for this man. Rick, I firmly believe there is no one of your caliber out there.

Daniel KunkelRick repaired the wing around the fuel filler cap of my carbon-fiber composite airplane. He completed the repairs as promised and for the price quoted. He was very responsive in answering my questions. The repair looks great and overall I am quite happy
