Customer Feedback:
Fast Haul
“I needed brush clearing, so I called David’s out of an ad in the newspaper. The men arrived on time, gave an accurate cost estimate, then quickly completed the job. They provided very good service, and I will definitely use them again.”

Customer Feedback:
Co-operative Cleaning Company
“I’ve used them for about 15-20 years. They do general housecleaning for me— dusting, cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom. I often leave them alone in the house to do the job, and they are honest, work with integrity, and never break anything. They do the job that I’ve hired them to do, and I get good value for my money. I’m semi-retired, and I am happy to have them here to do the cleaning jobs so I don’t have to. Cooperative’s housecleaners are always very nice people.”

Customer Feedback:
Traverso Trees
“They’ve done work for my whole family! We’ve been using them for years, and they do wonderful work. We’ve gotten estimates from other tree services, but Traverso has been the best. They just did some eucalyptus trees for us, and recently cut some 100 foot tall trees for my mother! They are our family tree service!”

Customer Feedback:
Hargens Inc.
“I recommend them very highly. They started out working on our rain gutters when we had a new roof installed, and then I found out that they do heating as well! They do quality work, and they meet all of their appointments (which is a rarity in this day and age!). They respected my time and my family, and I really appreciate that. Unbelievably nice, accountable, and they don’t make any false promises. If this is how they always conduct business, they are going to be around for a very long time. Integrity and honesty go a long way.”
