Customer Feedback:
Aarvaks Heating & Air Conditioning
“As a single woman, I don’t know much about heating and air conditioning. It’s not really my forte. I found Jeff to be incredibly helpful, patient, reasonable and knowledgeable. You can’t say that about too many contractors.”

Customer Feedback:
Brilliant Buildings
“I found them in the Good Service Guide, and they did many things for us: sheer panels, seismic bracing for our new house, retrofitting our foundation, and lifting the house to make it level. They are hardworking, very skilled, and versatile. The house looks great!”

Customer Feedback:
Ron’s Pool Service
“Ron is a good worker, and dependable. He helped me out when I was having some major, major problems with my previous pool service. The pool started to turn green and he came in and figured out the problem and got it up and running again. I’ve used him for quite some time. He’s a really good person to work with, and he has a great work ethic.”
