Customer Feedback:
Ernesto Moran
“I’ve been coloring my hair for most of my adult life, and he is excellent. It’s never been as healthy and the color’s never been as good as when Ernesto does it. He helps me decide what works best with my face. I get more compliments now than I ever did before.”

Customer Feedback:
David Zaidman Painting
“I have used him on my own home, and being that I’m also a realtor, I’ve used him on my clients’ homes as well. He does very good work, is easy to work with, and very flexible. He’s always there when he says he’s going to be there. What I like most about his work is that he’s always clean— he doesn’t leave a mess behind. He does good work.”

Customer Feedback:
Live Oak Structural
“We were very, very pleased with Live Oak. They replaced some rotted joists and leaking air vents for us. They were ahead of schedule, prompt in returning phone calls and coming out, and just really good to work with.”

Customer Feedback:
Birkmyer Landscapes
“I have been working with Birkmeyer Landscaping for the last 7 or 8 years, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are the best landscaping people that I have worked with. They are accommodating, on time, and their work is always the best. Phil Birkmeyer is just one of the best businessmen that I have ever worked with. We have established a warm friendship as a result of the satisfaction that my wife and I have had with his work. I give him a triple A rating and hope that my reference gets him the work that he deserves.”
