San Francisco
Customer Feedback:
Strokes Fine Painting
“I had never worked with a color consultant before, but Dar is truly an artist. She knows the emotional balance of colors. Sometimes we’d look at a color, discuss how I felt about it, and come up exactly what I wanted. The work is never about her, it’s about you and what you alone want. She really cares about trying to identify just what that is. She is not about pushing her taste on someone.”

Oakland/Berkeley
Customer Feedback:
Wooden Window
“We own an old Oakland schoolhouse where most of the windows had been painted shut over the years. Not only did Wooden Window reverse the aging process and make them operate like new, but their workers were absolute gentlemen. They were very courteous and neat, and we felt confident about leaving them alone in our home.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Lance Painting & Decorating
“I interviewed a lot of painters for our job, and Lance was by far the best. He has a lot of color experience and education, which is exactly what we needed. He hand edged all of the walls, with 25 foot ceilings, using no tape! My husband and I both work out of the house, and he was able to work around us and our schedules.”

Customer Feedback:
Ross M. Stangeland DDS
“Both my wife and I go to Dr. Stangeland. He’s always willing to work with us. My wife broke a crown on a Friday morning, and Dr Stangeland was able to see her that afternoon, so her weekend wasn’t ruined. He and his staff take great care of us.”
