Oakland/Berkeley
Customer Feedback:
Oakland Auto Works
“The best service I’ve ever had at an auto repair shop! I had a problem with the locks, and they fixed it like an old school mechanic would, instead of just ordering new parts. Because they did that, the actual cost came in way lower than the bid they gave me!”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Custom Exteriors
“They are great! They replaced every door and window in my house, and the finished product was well worth it. The house is warmer in the winter now, and the difference in the cooling in summer is unbelievable. The trim looks beautiful— so good it doesn’t even need drapes!”
