Customer Feedback:
Earthquake Safety
“I had a very good experience with them. We wanted someone to bolt our house down, and other companies said they would have to open the walls and do all of this work, but Earthquake Safety were able to do it without all of that trouble. They were in and out really quickly and there were no problems. But if we have an earthquake and the house falls down, I’ll call you back!“

Customer Feedback:
Live Oak Decks
“I was so impressed with their knowledge about decks and foundations. They caught something that the original designer of the house missed, and added some support beams under our deck that serve as part of the foundation. They were responsive, and I was very happy with them.”

Customer Feedback:
Bright Plumbing
“I think Bright is the best plumber in town! I have an old Victorian which wasn’t in very good shape when I bought it. I inherited Bright with the house, because the previous owner told me how good he was. He’s saved me thousands of dollars by keeping my pipes working!”
