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:
On The Spot
“I give Don my highest recommendation. I found him in the Good Service Guide about 3 or 4 years ago, and he is incredible. I am very environmentally aware, and so is he. I just tell him to lock up when he’s done. He is honest and dependable, and he comes to my home every 6 months.”

Customer Feedback:
Craftcare Hardwood Floors
“I used them 2 years ago to refinish the floor in my living room, and this summer they installed a similar floor, and blended the two beautifully. The crew was very, very nice and always cleaned up after themselves. I was completely happy with them!”
