San Francisco
Customer Feedback:
The Window Specialist
“Let me tell you, I would definitely recommend that people get these new windows. With my old ones you’d think the air-conditioning was on all the time. I’ve seen a big reduction in my energy bills, and I’m amazed at how quiet the house is.”

Customer Feedback:
Blackbird Designs
“Andus is a brilliant architecht, he’s great to work with, and he understands the meaning of the word budget. He added a 19th century style cottage on top of our garage, and you can’t even tell it’s new, it blends in with the house so well.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Arachne’s Thimble
“I used to work at Kaiser in Walnut Creek. I now live in Berkeley but still take things to Arachne’s Thimble because I’ve never found anywhere better. I only have positive things to say. They’ve done things for me in a rish when I needed them, and I’ve never had any mishaps.”

Customer Feedback:
De Martini/Arnott Painting Company
“They were very helpful in helping me choose the colors, which was something I wasn’t expecting. They also did a faux marble finish on our fireplace— we get compliments on that every time anybody sees it. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”
