Customer Feedback:
Strokes Fine Painting
“They did an elaborate color consultation with us on our home in Bernal Heights last summer, then painted it. It turned out beautifully. We receive compliments from our neighbors all the time - people just rave about the house. Dar’s color combination is unique and unusual, and was perfectly applied. We are utterly delighted.’

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
The Carpet Doctor
“I’ve worked with him for several years. His pricing is excellent. I really like that he has his own little machine that comes into the house— it’s not one of those long hoses that goes out to a truck. I’ve used other carpet cleaners before, but I highly recommend Don.”
