Comprehensive Tax Services

Comprehensive Tax Services opened its doors in 2005 with two goals in mind:

1.  helping you get through that annual chore – filing your tax returns – as painlessly as possible, and

2.  making sure that you understand as much about your taxes as you want to know.

Some of our clients like to ask questions and be there to answer ours while we work, and we go from start to finish in a single appointment. Others like to drop their documents off and come back to sign the returns and settle their bill. A few even skip the trip altogether, taking advantage of email and fax to handle all the back-and-forth of information. Whatever your style, we’re here to serve your needs. It has been a privilege for us to serve not only River employees, but also many River families. We look forward to the opportunity of serving you in the coming tax season.

Hetter Heating and Cooling

Decades ago, our company did a lot of different things for a lot of different people.  But we started to notice a trend toward completing excellent work on heating and cooling systems.  People kept asking for us to replace, repair and even advise them on their systems.  So we started focusing solely on HVAC systems, and on serving families like our own.  That’s what led to Hetter Heating and Cooling.  We only serve residential, and we only do HVAC.  That’s focus.  And we hope you’ll let us focus on making your heating and cooling systems the best and most efficient they can be, and become part of the growing Hetter Heating and Cooling family.
