Customer Feedback:
Spark Construction
“They restored a Victorian facade on my house back to the original facade from 1905. They were very competent and reliable. All of the carpenters did a wonderful job, and anything I didn’t like or wanted to change, they responded right away.“

Customer Feedback:
Lisa Bruce Studios
“I first went to Lisa 12 years ago when I was in high school. After I moved to Southern California to go to college, I always saw her when I came home for a visit. I’ve been to cosmeticians in Los Angeles, but no one can compare to Lisa’s quality or attention to detail.”

Customer Feedback:
Northwest Termite & Pest Control
“I wanted a company that didn’t use harsh chemicals, so I went to their website and read about what they do before calling. They were very professional, knowledgeable, and thorough, and went out of their way. I’m happy to have found an environmentally friendly termite company.“
