Customer Feedback:
Linoleum Larry’s
“I’ve been doing business with Linoleum Larry’s for years. I’ve shopped around, and I can tell you that Bob and Gail give you competitive prices, and they don’t keep you waiting. They’ve done the carpets in two of my houses.”

Customer Feedback:
David Zaidman Painting
“I have used him on my own home, and being that I’m also a realtor, I’ve used him on my clients’ homes as well. He does very good work, is easy to work with, and very flexible. He’s always there when he says he’s going to be there. What I like most about his work is that he’s always clean— he doesn’t leave a mess behind. He does good work.”

Customer Feedback:
The Carpet Doctor
“I’ve been working with Don for about 3 years now, and he always does a really great job. I’ve used Chem-Dry in the past, but I didn’t like the idea of the chemicals, so I’m happy to be working with Don. I let him know when I want him to come back, and he calls to remind me.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
ABC Windows
“They’re cost-effective, efficient, and fast. I got 44 windows from them for my home. I was in Hawaii for most of the time they were working on my house, and they took care of everything for me. I interviewed four other companies, and they seemed to be the best. Their workers are very clean and very skilled. The double-paned windows they installed really keep the noise down, the warmth in, and the utlities bills down.“
