Customer Feedback:
Strokes Fine Painting
“They did an elaborate color consultation with us on our home in Bernal Heights last summer, then painted it. It turned out beautifully. We receive compliments from our neighbors all the time - people just rave about the house. Dar’s color combination is unique and unusual, and was perfectly applied. We are utterly delighted.’

Customer Feedback:
Chris Fortner Construction
“Chris replaced our second story deck, our ground level deck, and put in a new door leading out to the backyard. Everything was done well, up to code, and we had no problems. Chris and his crew are helpful and informative, really nice and very professional. We would not hesitate to use them again.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Cal-Pac Roofing
“These people are gold. You just can’t find people like this anymore. I think I’ve referred five or six customers to them since they completed my job. I had a small problem a year later, and they took care of it immediately. The roof is beautiful, and the product is awesome. They put in two sky tunnels, too. Those really are terrific. I put one in the central hallway, and it just opened up the whole house. At night, even the moonlight lights up the house.”
