Oakland/Berkeley
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.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Pacific Landscapes
They did the back yard and put in a gazebo. It looks very good, and they are hard workers—they never seemed to stop working! I was so happy to get someone to give me a timeline and stick to it.
