Customer Feedback:
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing
“The man who came was such a nice fellow and he was on time— right on the dot! Their pricing is fair. I am very satisfied, and recommended them to my neighbor around the corner who was just as pleased. Next time, I’m going to have them replace my water heater.“

Customer Feedback:
Blackbird Designs
“They did a major kitchen remodel in our 1930s house. We were planning on just updating it a bit, but they gave us so many creative ideas we ended up closing off some walls and working with the lighting. They are so imaginative. They were very clear on the costs, and very generous with their time. We found them in the Good Service Guide.”

Springwood Builders
“We’ve been working with Springwood for 8 years. Every couple of years they remodel one or two rooms in our house. They’ve just finished gutting and completely remodeling our kitchen. They are very professional, and are perfectionists like my husband and I. They are helping our dreams of a beautiful house come true.”

Customer Feedback:
Anderberg Construction Consulting
“He came out and consulted on how to take care of the drainage problem in my basement. He drew sketches, explained everything in laymen’s terms, and gave me suggestions of three contractors to contact who could do the work I needed done. His service was very comprehensive.”
