Customer Feedback:
Classic Shades Painting
“I’ve used them twice now, and they are very professional and do a good job. They showed me a lot of color samples when they were doing my fence, which I really appreciated. Unlike most contractors, they follow-up to make sure you’re happy.”

Customer Feedback:
Live Oak Decks
“I love them! They’ve done work for my mother, my uncle, and on two of my projects. I’m an architect, and they do things right. Will is a “can-do” kinda guy, and their work is always top of the line. Their workers are very respectful, and the communication between the crew and the office is great.”

Customer Feedback:
TLC/Goldcrest Homes, Inc.
“I’ve used the Guide before, and think that Jim should definitely be listed. He remodeled my kitchen for me, and replaced a wall which had dry rot. He’s reasonably priced, and does high quality work. His workers are very pleasant.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Crystal Springs Painting Company
“Oh, they were marvelous! I had them come out to do some extensive repair on water damage. They put the perfect finishing touch on the repair job— painting the walls and part of the stairwell. They arrived on time and cleaned up like I’ve never seen! I’ve never had anybody do a better job— everything was so professional. I’ve had several home improvement jobs done over the years, and nobody’s matched their quality!”
