Customer Feedback:

Pacific Roofing Company

“They replaced my mother’s entire roof in Chinatown! There was a large amount of traffic and pedestrians, and Mr. Clark handled it so well. He stayed on site for the entire job. They showed me the wood rot in the old roof before they replaced it, which I really appreciated, and saved us $600 by carefully removing and re-using some of the existing metal materials on the roof. I was so happy with them I made them all pose for a picture and sent it to them as a thank you.”

Customer Feedback:

Earthquake Safety

“I had a very good experience with them. We wanted someone to bolt our house down, and other companies said they would have to open the walls and do all of this work, but Earthquake Safety were able to do it without all of that trouble. They were in and out really quickly and there were no problems. But if we have an earthquake and the house falls down, I’ll call you back!“

The Window Specialist

“I was very happy with their service, and I definitely recommend them. We recently had windows installed, and although it takes a year or two to see if the quality is still there, so far they are doing great! You can use me as a reference with no hesitation.”
