Customer Feedback:
O’Grady Plumbing
“I am a technician for SBC, and I noticed the quality of their work in a home I was running wiring in. I had them install a water heater for me, and take care of various plumbing. I referred them to my daughter. That speaks volumes. I really believe in the quality of their service.”

Customer Feedback:
The Window Specialist
“We’re thrilled with our new windows—and we’re saving a fortune on energy bills. The wind used to whistle right through the old ones. The new windows have an awesome locking system that’s really easy to use, and they look beautiful. If that’s not enough, they were about a third of the price we were quoted elsewhere.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
ABC Windows
“They did a wonderful job— very professional. What I liked is that ABC made the windows themselves, and that they are family-owned. They don’t just treat you like another number; they take an interest in you as a person. Their customer service was excellent, and they had the best price of the three companies I checked with.“
