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!”

Customer Feedback:
Brilliant Buildings
“They did two retaining walls for us, and they did a great job from top to bottom. They were professional, easy to deal with, and discussed everything thoroughly with us before starting the job. We’ve used them twice and would love to use them again!”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Bryan Welden Painting
“He has painted the kitchen cabinets in our house, and repaired cracks in the walls. He has great workmanship and leaves our home clean. When he starts a job, he works on it until it’s done, AND he only does one job at a time.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
ABC Windows
“They did a wonderful job— very professional. What I liked is that ABC made the windows themselves, and that they are family-owned. They don’t just treat you like another number; they take an interest in you as a person. Their customer service was excellent, and they had the best price of the three companies I checked with.“
