Customer Feedback:
Wooden Window
“We own an old Oakland schoolhouse where most of the windows had been painted shut over the years. Not only did Wooden Window reverse the aging process and make them operate like new, but their workers were absolute gentlemen. They were very courteous and neat, and we felt confident about leaving them alone in our home.”

Customer Feedback:
Aurora Painting & Decorating
“They did a fantastic job! Dean is an artist, and it shows in his work. You can trust his judgment in color and finishes. But he and his crew also do exactly what they said they will do, and in the time that they say. He’s very meticulous. My neighbor also used him after seeing his work at my house in Richmond.”

Customer Feedback:
Live Oak Structural
“They did some seismic retrofitting on my home, and they were outstanding. Being a woman dealing with contractors can sometimes be difficult. Live Oak listened, answered every question I had, and did excellent work. They were responsive, clean, patient, and professional. I have very high standards, and I really trust Live Oak.”

Customer Feedback:
Vision Builders
“We consider ourselves fortunate to have found Helmo and his team. They’ve added lots of character to our home— coffered ceilings, crown moldings, archways and a beautiful staircase. We were living in the house the entire time, and they were always courteous. It was a pleasure.“
