Customer Feedback:

Kelley Painting & Waterproofing

“He painted our 3-story stucco apartment building, and he did a great job. We were really satisfied with the detail and care that he and his crew used to prep and clean up. He did what he said, and he did it well. I recommended him to a friend of mine, and she was very satisfied also. We’re going to have him back later in the year. Jim has a great staff of people that he’s been using for years, and I appreciate that. I feel very confident in referring him.”

Affordable Housecleaning

“We found him 2 years ago, and he is amazing. One of the best housecleaners we’ve ever had. He is very trustworthy— he has a key to our house, and even helped us out with our dog when my wife was in the hospital expecting quadruplets! He cleans the house across the street for two police officers, and we’ve hooked him up with a few other people as well.”

Bonny Weil General Contractor

“Bonny did an overhaul of our house when she did a big addition job for us. She was our go-between with the city for permits, and she performed in an exemplary fashion. She was very pleasant and professional, and performed like a large-scale company.”
