De Martini/Arnott Painting Company
“I would definitely use them again. Brett keeps a very close watch on the project, and is very conscientious. They painted both the interior and the exterior of my home in Redwood City. I recommend them!”

Customer Feedback:
Lightstream Window Cleaning
“Andy is so trustworthy. I found Lightstream in The Good Service Guide about 3 years ago. They did a complete window and gutter cleaning, and actually told me that the gutters weren’t that dirty, so they took over $100 off. They are so honest.”

Customer Feedback:
Arachne’s Thimble
“I used to work at Kaiser in Walnut Creek. I now live in Berkeley but still take things to Arachne’s Thimble because I’ve never found anywhere better. I only have positive things to say. They’ve done things for me in a rish when I needed them, and I’ve never had any mishaps.”

Customer Feedback:
Vision Builders
“We consider ourselves fortunate to have found Helmo and his team. They’ve added lots of character to our home— coffered ceilings, crown moldings, archways and a beautiful staircase. We were living in the house the entire time, and they were always courteous. It was a pleasure.“
