San Francisco
Customer Feedback:
Kelley Painting & Waterproofing
“He painted our 3-story stucco apartment building, and he did a great job. We were really satisfied with the detail and care that he and his crew used to prep and clean up. He did what he said, and he did it well. I recommended him to a friend of mine, and she was very satisfied also. We’re going to have him back later in the year. Jim has a great staff of people that he’s been using for years, and I appreciate that. I feel very confident in referring him.”

Customer Feedback:
Live Oak Structural
“I had about $60,000 in water damage on my home, and I hate doing home repair. Live Oak were as unobtrusive as possible, and I never had to worry about a thing! They were so polite. I would definitely recommend them.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Anderberg Construction Consulting
“He was just wonderful. He walks you through every part of the process, which is great when you don’t know anything about construction. He quickly found solutions for our old house, and was always available. I have great peace of mind knowing the work was done properly.”
