Customer Feedback:
The Home Doctors
“They did a closet expansion and recessed lighting in our kitchen. The quality of their work is good. I have had some nightmare experiences, but this time I was happy. They follow through with the details— and sometimes that’s just as important as the big job.”

Customer Feedback:
Lance Painting & Decorating
“I interviewed a lot of painters for our job, and Lance was by far the best. He has a lot of color experience and education, which is exactly what we needed. He hand edged all of the walls, with 25 foot ceilings, using no tape! My husband and I both work out of the house, and he was able to work around us and our schedules.”
