Customer Feedback:
De Martini/Arnott Painting Company
“They recently painted our home, and did a great job. They were on time and finished early! They’re neat, clean, tidy, and, except for the beautiful new paint, you’d never know they were here! My husband’s a local builder, and he uses them too. They’re outstanding.”

Customer Feedback:
Classic Shades Painting
“I’ve used them twice now, and they are very professional and do a good job. They showed me a lot of color samples when they were doing my fence, which I really appreciated. Unlike most contractors, they follow-up to make sure you’re happy.”

Customer Feedback:
Brilliant Buildings
“I found them in the Good Service Guide, and they did many things for us: sheer panels, seismic bracing for our new house, retrofitting our foundation, and lifting the house to make it level. They are hardworking, very skilled, and versatile. The house looks 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!”
