Customer Feedback:
Retrospect Fine Furniture
“They re-upholstered six dining room chairs to match our living room couch, and the fabric is not only really easy to take care of, it looks really nice as well. Their prices are good, and we’re very impressed.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
McHale Insulation
“I’ve lived in the East Bay all my life and I never realized that insulation could make such a difference. My home was built in the 30s, and I just thought you had to have the heat on all winter. The whole house feels more substancial now, and the walls muffle sound.“
