Customer Feedback:
Pat Ryan Moving
“These guys are great. I used them for a SF to Foster City move. They showed up on time, busted their rear ends lugging all my stuff down three flights, got it all there, no damage and at estimated time / cost. I was happy, happy, happy.”

Customer Feedback:
Chris Fortner Construction
“Chris did a complete kitchen remodel, and renovated our family room. He did everything- from the electrical and plumbing, to the lighting and finish work. He did a great job, and was great to work with. He was communicative, had good prices, and overall it was a very positive experience.”

Customer Feedback:
Arachne’s Thimble
“I used to work at Kaiser in Walnut Creek. I now live in Berkeley but still take things to Arachne’s Thimble because I’ve never found anywhere better. I only have positive things to say. They’ve done things for me in a rish when I needed them, and I’ve never had any mishaps.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Hargens Inc.
“I recommend them very highly. They started out working on our rain gutters when we had a new roof installed, and then I found out that they do heating as well! They do quality work, and they meet all of their appointments (which is a rarity in this day and age!). They respected my time and my family, and I really appreciate that. Unbelievably nice, accountable, and they don’t make any false promises. If this is how they always conduct business, they are going to be around for a very long time. Integrity and honesty go a long way.”
