Customer Feedback:
Michael Mullin Architect, Ltd
“Michael is fantastic. If you’ve never been through a home remodel, prepare yourself. There were about a dozen people involved in this project, and Michael is easily the only one I would still talk to. From start to finish, he kept an eye on everything. He’s bright, and his aesthetic meshed with mine perfectly. He really grounded the project— he was the voice of sanity.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
McKinley Painting
“McKinley painted the whole exterior of my home. They were extremely careful with everything, especially the plants outside. We have an older home in Berkeley and he was very aware of how to take care of it. He was the most knowledgeable painting contractor we talked to. His workers didn’t play loud music, smoke, or chat. They just got the job done.”

Customer Feedback:
Vision Builders
“Over the years, I’ve had them do both small and large projects on my home— from major structural and stone repair, to rebuilding retaining walls, doing interior drywall and painting. They are very competent, their pricing is fair, and they always finish on schedule.“
