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.”

“I found them in the Good Service Guide, and they were wonderful to work with. We were installing a kitchenette in a small apartment, and their creative solutions to the job were brilliant. His team of workers was the best I’ve ever had— professional and skillful.”

Custom Exteriors
“They are great! They replaced every door and window in my house, and the finished product was well worth it. The house is warmer in the winter now, and the difference in the cooling in summer is unbelievable. The trim looks beautiful— so good it doesn’t even need drapes!”

Customer Feedback:
Crystal Springs Painting Company
“Oh, they were marvelous! I had them come out to do some extensive repair on water damage. They put the perfect finishing touch on the repair job— painting the walls and part of the stairwell. They arrived on time and cleaned up like I’ve never seen! I’ve never had anybody do a better job— everything was so professional. I’ve had several home improvement jobs done over the years, and nobody’s matched their quality!”
