KDG Refacing
“They freshened up our kitchen and shelving, and also did some custom cabinetry in our living room. They were incredibly detailed in their planning and execution, and it was excellent. I would certainly recommend them!”

Customer Feedback:
Hassler Heating & Air Conditioning
“Mike is one of the good guys. He’s honest, smart, and clean. They installed a water heater and furnace. I like Mike’s follow through— he came back and made sure that the heat was even in every room of the house. I’d like to see him succeed. A rare find.”

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:
Ross M. Stangeland DDS
“I grind my teeth, and my teeth were deteriorating— so Dr. Stangeland had to cap every single tooth in my mouth. It was a huge job, but the quality of his work is absolutely superb. I now get compliments on my teeth all the time! Everyone in his office is pleasant, and fun to be around. They made a huge ordeal very easy.”
