Customer Feedback:
Commercial and Residential Electric
“He fixed all kinds of things for me, and I don’t know how he did it all, but he did. He is very competent, always prompt, and he works alone so there are no big crews taking over your home. We were so happy with him. I would definitely recommend him, and my recommendation is unequivocal.”

Customer Feedback:
Christopher Ikeda-Nash, CPA
“I’ve worked with him both professionally and personally. He straightened out the taxes of the non-profit organization I was working for, and then this past year I used him for my personal taxes. His office is terrific. It’s a small office so I get very personal attention.“

Customer Feedback:
Brende & Lamb Tree & Shrub Care
“They are marvelous! I have a lot of really nice Japanese Maples on my property, and they needed some loving care. B&L are really artistic pruners, not butchers who just cut off branches. They really know what they’re doing, and they’ve done beautiful work.”

Customer Feedback:
J & J Owens Electric, Inc.
“I run a property management service, and I use Owens all the time. They’re really nice to deal with, and they do very high quality work. They show up, do the job right, clean up— all the good stuff that you want, but don’t always get. They’re just plain excellent.”
