Michael Mullin Architect, Ltd
“He did a kitchen remodel for us about 7 years ago, and then did a major home remodel. We needed his skills! He’s easy to work with, really listens, has a great sense of design, and great ideas. He was also good with our budget. He is an awesome architect.”

Excellent Carpet Cleaning
“When we remodeled our house we used an upstairs bedroom as our kitchen/living room. I was getting ready to rip up the carpets when Excellent Carpet Cleaning came to clean them. I couldn’t believe how clean the carpets became!“

Customer Feedback:
Birkmyer Landscapes
“We had a straight concrete walkway from our front door to the road, and we wanted that softened up a bit, so he and my husband bought a bunch of Mariposa blue slate together at the nursery. We were very active in selecting the plants as well as the design. It ended up a Mediterranean landscape, which is relatively low maintenance, with a drought resistant sprinkler system. We didn’t want grass, becuase we didn’t want to maintain it, but we wanted lots of color out front. Our whole concept has been achieved. It is kind of fun to walk out there and go ‘Wow, this is kind of a neat garden.’ And the cat likes it too. It is really, really nice.”
