Customer Feedback:
The Home Doctors
“I was referred to them 3 years ago, and since then they’ve done two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a sump pump. I had a home inspector later come out, and he even pointed out that their work is very high quality. They are friendly, and you can really trust them.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Lance Painting & Decorating
“I interviewed a lot of painters for our job, and Lance was by far the best. He has a lot of color experience and education, which is exactly what we needed. He hand edged all of the walls, with 25 foot ceilings, using no tape! My husband and I both work out of the house, and he was able to work around us and our schedules.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
E Solutions International
“They installed a solar system for our swimming pool. I was very happy with the process, even more so with the results. It’s much cheaper than paying PG&E, which was costing us upwards of $500 a month! They are reasonable, pleasant to work with, and everything worked out just fine.”
