Customer Feedback:
De Martini/Arnott Painting Company
“They recently painted our home, and did a great job. They were on time and finished early! They’re neat, clean, tidy, and, except for the beautiful new paint, you’d never know they were here! My husband’s a local builder, and he uses them too. They’re outstanding.”

Customer Feedback:
Kim’s Appliance Repair
“He’s repaired stoves, refrigerators, washers and dryers for me. If they can’t be repaired he tells me, and saves me money. All I have to do is call him and it gets done. My tenants have been very happy with him. He’s very polite and always gets the job done.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
McHale Insulation
“I’ve lived in the East Bay all my life and I never realized that insulation could make such a difference. My home was built in the 30s, and I just thought you had to have the heat on all winter. The whole house feels more substancial now, and the walls muffle sound.“

Customer Feedback:
Vision Builders
“We consider ourselves fortunate to have found Helmo and his team. They’ve added lots of character to our home— coffered ceilings, crown moldings, archways and a beautiful staircase. We were living in the house the entire time, and they were always courteous. It was a pleasure.“
