Thank you, everyone, for your suggestions. I ended up going to Sunraise, and the owner (name?) turned the job around in about an hour, it looked great and the price was right. He also gave me a tour of his facility when I came to pick up. Really happy and my client was happy. I will use Sunraise again for sure. It was a tricky situation, given that it was 4th of July, and most of the places suggested here were closed. It wasn't perhaps a fair comparison for the other vendors, but Sunraise was open, and willing... Thanks again, you guys are great!
