Customer Feedback:
Bright Plumbing
“I think Bright is the best plumber in town! I have an old Victorian which wasn’t in very good shape when I bought it. I inherited Bright with the house, because the previous owner told me how good he was. He’s saved me thousands of dollars by keeping my pipes working!”

Customer Feedback:
Mr. Handyman
“They’ve done several jobs for me. They replaced the florescent lighting in my kitchen with recessed lighting, and redid the sheet rock. They’ve fixed my doorbell, and patched a hole in my living room ceiling where we took out a stove. I feel comfortable leaving them in my home alone. I’m currently having them replace a screen door on my front porch.”

Customer Feedback:
Traverso Trees
“I’ve been using Traverso Tree for 10 years, and their work is excellent. They are reliable and neat. I have them clean and prune my 25 palm trees anually, as well as remove huge, 30-year-old trees. They’ve also done work for my church in Danville, and they’ve been very happy with them as well!”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Larry Lynch & The Mob
“Weddings are expensive–the cake, the catering, the site, and then the band. But the reception is what people remember, and the music is the focal point. Larry and his band didn’t disappoint. From letting me sing amateur love songs, to coordinating the cake-cutting and the toasts, Larry and his musicians were truly professional and a lot of fun. It’s obvious they really love their work!”
