Customer Feedback:
Painting USA
“This is the best company I’ve ever used! I’ve had my Victorian house painted 4 times over the years, and this was by far the best job. Phillip went well beyond the call of duty. He was often out there working with his crew! I am so pleased.“

Customer Feedback:
Norcal Construction
“I own a grocery store in Oakland that needed repairs after a fire. My adjuster suggested Norcal, and I was really satisfied with them. They suggested what should be done, did it, and made sure it met inspection. They are reliable, and I will be using them again.”
