Daryl Rush Builders
“We have a very eclectic house, and he was not only great on the construction end but had the added benefit of a great aesthetic. He brought a great team of people. My husband is an engineer and they worked together on the foundation reinforcement and earthquake retrofit.”

Customer Feedback:
Live Oak Decks
“I was so impressed with their knowledge about decks and foundations. They caught something that the original designer of the house missed, and added some support beams under our deck that serve as part of the foundation. They were responsive, and I was very happy with them.”

Customer Feedback:
Northwest Termite & Pest Control
“I checked around and their prices were well within the normal range. They did a good job of inspecting my home in Oakland. I was very satisfied. One of the best things about them in that they will reinspect your property for reinfestation once a year for five years afterwards.“
