Customer Feedback:
Chasov Electric
“I’ve used other electricians before, and they couldn’t hold a candle to him. I manage commercial real estate and am also a general contractor, so I know quality work versus schlock. He’s very honest, reputable, responds quickly, has a great crew, and understands how to do very complex electrical work.“

Blackbird Designs
“They were recommended to me by a friend, and we were very happy with them. We did a large remodel, and they helped us with the design and ideas. They are a small company, which I really like because they get to know you and they treat you really well.”

Customer Feedback:
Lightstream Window Cleaning
“We’re very happy with Andy’s window service. He’s really savvy. We have a ton of windows at our home in Montclair, and he figured out a time of day to clean them when the light is just right. We’ve been impressed with how conscientious he is.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Birkmyer Landscapes
“We had a straight concrete walkway from our front door to the road, and we wanted that softened up a bit, so he and my husband bought a bunch of Mariposa blue slate together at the nursery. We were very active in selecting the plants as well as the design. It ended up a Mediterranean landscape, which is relatively low maintenance, with a drought resistant sprinkler system. We didn’t want grass, becuase we didn’t want to maintain it, but we wanted lots of color out front. Our whole concept has been achieved. It is kind of fun to walk out there and go ‘Wow, this is kind of a neat garden.’ And the cat likes it too. It is really, really nice.”
