San Francisco
Customer Feedback:
Dar Greenberg
“I had never worked with a color consultant before, but Dar is truly an artist. She knows the emotional balance of colors. Sometimes we’d look at a color, discuss how I felt about it, and come up with exactly what I wanted. The work is never about her, it’s about you and what you alone want. She really cares about trying to identify just what that is. She is not about pushing her taste on someone.”

Customer Feedback:
Roberts Electric Company
“Thanks to the Good Service Guide I called Roberts Electric Company. I received a quote over the phone, they were great to work with, and the cost ended up lower than the quote! I was flabbergasted to receive a thank you note from them in the mail the next day.”

Customer Feedback:
Aarvaks Heating & Air Conditioning
“As a single woman, I don’t know much about heating and air conditioning. It’s not really my forte. I found Jeff to be incredibly helpful, patient, reasonable and knowledgeable. You can’t say that about too many contractors.”

Customer Feedback:
Franz Termite Control
“As a realtor, I have the choice of working with many termite companies, but Franz is the top of my list. They are fabulous. They’re honest, they return phone calls promptly, they show up on time, they don’t inconvenience peopleÖthey’re unbelievable! They really are the best.”
