Customer Feedback:
De Martini/Arnott Painting Company
“They were very helpful in helping me choose the colors, which was something I wasn’t expecting. They also did a faux marble finish on our fireplace— we get compliments on that every time anybody sees it. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”

Customer Feedback:
David Zaidman Painting
“I am real estate broker, and I’ve been using him almost exclusively. His prices are mid-range, he’s insured, bonded, and very good on scheduling. He doesn’t mind coming back to fix anything if there are any probelms. He’s cheerful and friendly. I’ve also recommended him to all of my clients.”

Customer Feedback:
Architectural Molding
I would most definitely recommend him, without any question. He does excellent work. Moldings, doors, cabinetry – he’s just a GREAT finish carpenter. He’s very neat, and very punctual. I have no complaints, and have referred them to other people already.”

Customer Feedback:
J & J Owens Electric, Inc.
“They’re awesome— first class all the way. They solved a couple of problems that our previous electrical contractor had created, and did a flawless job. They were prompt, neat, did everything by the book, and at the price they quoted. They went above and beyond my expectations. I recommend them big time.”
