Customer Feedback:
Five Star Housekeeping - A Referral Service
“We’re very pleased. We’ve had the same young woman at our home in Oakland for several months now. She knows what she’s doing and she has a nice attitude. If I ever want to make a change, or I want to ask questions, I can always get through.”

Customer Feedback:
Kay Chesterfield Mfg. Co.
“We had five pieces re-covered in our living room. They were helpful selecting the fabrics for our furniture after visiting our home to get an idea. The pieces were delivered on time, and the delivery men were very pleasant and personable. We couldn’t be happier.”

Customer Feedback:
TLC/Goldcrest Homes, Inc.
“I’ve used the Guide before, and think that Jim should definitely be listed. He remodeled my kitchen for me, and replaced a wall which had dry rot. He’s reasonably priced, and does high quality work. His workers are very pleasant.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Crystal Springs Painting Company
“Oh, they were marvelous! I had them come out to do some extensive repair on water damage. They put the perfect finishing touch on the repair job— painting the walls and part of the stairwell. They arrived on time and cleaned up like I’ve never seen! I’ve never had anybody do a better job— everything was so professional. I’ve had several home improvement jobs done over the years, and nobody’s matched their quality!”
