Hi-Tech Hardwood Floors
“They sanded and re-stained my hardwood floors, and they did a great job. I have used a lot of contractors, and I would put them at the very, very top of the list— by far the best. The job was done perfectly, and people rave about my floors.”

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:
Brecht Construction
“I felt comfortable and safe putting my kitchen remodel in the hands of Brecht Construction. The job was a total tear-out and transformation into a gorgeous modern kitchen. The sky lights bring so much natural light into a room that was always so dark.”

Customer Feedback:
J & J Owens Electric, Inc.
“They’re awesome— first class all the way. They solved a couple of problems that our previous electrical contractor had created, and did a flawless job. They were prompt, neat, did everything by the book, and at the price they quoted. They went above and beyond my expectations. I recommend them big time.”
