The Home Doctors
“My friend discovered them, and I’ve been using them now for about 3 years. They show up on time, are very cooperative, responsive, and do exactly what I want. They fill the gap between the larger jobs and the handyman jobs. They’re the ones you want!”

Customer Feedback:
Live Oak Structural
“They did some seismic retrofitting on my home, and they were outstanding. Being a woman dealing with contractors can sometimes be difficult. Live Oak listened, answered every question I had, and did excellent work. They were responsive, clean, patient, and professional. I have very high standards, and I really trust Live Oak.”

Customer Feedback:
Traverso Trees
“I’ve been using Traverso Tree for 10 years, and their work is excellent. They are reliable and neat. I have them clean and prune my 25 palm trees anually, as well as remove huge, 30-year-old trees. They’ve also done work for my church in Danville, and they’ve been very happy with them as well!”
