Customer Feedback:
Painting USA
“I had an excellent experience with them. They did the exterior of my home and I liked them so much I had them back to do the interior. They are responsible, took great care, were very clean, and came in and got the job done. I have nothing but good things to say about them.“

Customer Feedback:
The Window Specialist
“I was very happy with their service, and I definitely recommend them. We recently had windows installed, and although it takes a year or two to see if the quality is still there, so far they are doing great! You can use me as a reference with no hesitation.”

Customer Feedback:
McHale Insulation
“I’ve lived in the East Bay all my life and I never realized that insulation could make such a difference. My home was built in the 30s, and I just thought you had to have the heat on all winter. The whole house feels more substancial now, and the walls muffle sound.“

Customer Feedback:
J & J Owens Electric, Inc.
“I run a property management service, and I use Owens all the time. They’re really nice to deal with, and they do very high quality work. They show up, do the job right, clean up— all the good stuff that you want, but don’t always get. They’re just plain excellent.”
