Customer Feedback:
Painting USA
“They painted the exterior of my Victorian home. A lot of people hire the cheaper painting contractor, and shoot themselves in the foot. Phillip’s workers were very considerate and they put a lot of time into the clean-up.“

Customer Feedback:
Excellent Window Cleaning
“I run a janitorial service, and I use Excellent Window Cleaning all the time. They always do a great job, show up when they say they will, and are pleasant and honest. I’ve been using them for about 10 years, and have never had any hassles.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Mr. Handyman
“They’ve done several jobs for me. They replaced the florescent lighting in my kitchen with recessed lighting, and redid the sheet rock. They’ve fixed my doorbell, and patched a hole in my living room ceiling where we took out a stove. I feel comfortable leaving them in my home alone. I’m currently having them replace a screen door on my front porch.”
