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:
Brende & Lamb Tree & Shrub Care
“Brende & Lamb is the only arborist I have ever called back. Other services always leave a mess, or don’t show up when they say they will. B&L are so knowledgeble, and have helped me with a number of projects. They are such great people to work with.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Cal-Pac Roofing
“These people are gold. You just can’t find people like this anymore. I think I’ve referred five or six customers to them since they completed my job. I had a small problem a year later, and they took care of it immediately. The roof is beautiful, and the product is awesome. They put in two sky tunnels, too. Those really are terrific. I put one in the central hallway, and it just opened up the whole house. At night, even the moonlight lights up the house.”
