Customer Feedback:
Craftcare Hardwood Floors
“I used them 2 years ago to refinish the floor in my living room, and this summer they installed a similar floor, and blended the two beautifully. The crew was very, very nice and always cleaned up after themselves. I was completely happy with them!”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
East County Painting
“Mel? I love the man to death! He does a great job, he’s clean, on time, and fabulous. He’s painted the whole outside and inside of my house, and the stair railing. He’s on the top of my list! People actually stop by my house and ask me about the colors and who painted my house.”
