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.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Live Oak Decks
“I love them! They’ve done work for my mother, my uncle, and on two of my projects. I’m an architect, and they do things right. Will is a “can-do” kinda guy, and their work is always top of the line. Their workers are very respectful, and the communication between the crew and the office is great.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Larry Lynch & The Mob
“Weddings are expensive–the cake, the catering, the site, and then the band. But the reception is what people remember, and the music is the focal point. Larry and his band didn’t disappoint. From letting me sing amateur love songs, to coordinating the cake-cutting and the toasts, Larry and his musicians were truly professional and a lot of fun. It’s obvious they really love their work!”
