Customer Feedback:
Craftcare Hardwood Floors
“I used them 2 years ago to refinish the floor in my living room, and this summer they installed a similar floor, and blended the two beautifully. The crew was very, very nice and always cleaned up after themselves. I was completely happy with them!”

Customer Feedback:
Larry’s Extreme Clean
“I don’t think there’s anybody better. I am a carpet retailer, and I don’t recommend anyone else to my clients. He is so clean— his equipment is sparkling brand new! I’ve never seen anything like his service. The solutions he uses are the best on the market. I tried him myself and he got out a stain that had been there for years. I’ll sing his praises any day!”

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.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
The Window Specialist
“Let me tell you, I would definitely recommend that people get these new windows. With my old ones you’d think the air-conditioning was on all the time. I’ve seen a big reduction in my energy bills, and I’m amazed at how quiet the house is.”
