Oakland/Berkeley
Customer Feedback:
McKinley Painting
“McKinley painted the whole exterior of my home. They were extremely careful with everything, especially the plants outside. We have an older home in Berkeley and he was very aware of how to take care of it. He was the most knowledgeable painting contractor we talked to. His workers didn’t play loud music, smoke, or chat. They just got the job done.”

Customer Feedback:
Springwood Builders
“They did an upstairs bathroom addition for us, as well as work on our investment properties. Working with them is like having a guest in your house! They are collaborative, honest, helpful, practical and considerate. I stopped getting competitive bids after the first job they did for us.”

Customer Feedback:
Birkmyer Landscapes
“I have been working with Birkmeyer Landscaping for the last 7 or 8 years, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are the best landscaping people that I have worked with. They are accommodating, on time, and their work is always the best. Phil Birkmeyer is just one of the best businessmen that I have ever worked with. We have established a warm friendship as a result of the satisfaction that my wife and I have had with his work. I give him a triple A rating and hope that my reference gets him the work that he deserves.”
