Customer Feedback:
Excelsior Roofing Co
“I’ve used Excelsior on two different occasions— to refurbish a roof and to do some repair work around the edges. They are professional, arrive on time, and are polite and clean. They have a lot of experience. I’m very happy with their work.”

Customer Feedback:
Norcal Construction
“I own a grocery store in Oakland that needed repairs after a fire. My adjuster suggested Norcal, and I was really satisfied with them. They suggested what should be done, did it, and made sure it met inspection. They are reliable, and I will be using them again.”

Customer Feedback:
The Upholstery Shop
“Where do I start? Rod is timely and honest, and the craftsmanship on all the pieces they have done with us has been just superb. We do some actual furniture design; all we have to do is go over the plan once with them. In short, they’re wonderful.”
