Customer Feedback:
The Steam Team
“We just used Jim to get pen marks out of our brand new, yellow velvet sofa. We were terrified that he might make the situation worse. Instead you can’t tell there was anything there. He also got two filthy white rugs looking like new. All this for a very reasonable price.”

Customer Feedback:
Brilliant Buildings
“My chimney sunk and took parts of the floor with it! They avoided having to remove the chimney by bringing out a pressure grouter and leveling the house. They took a lot of time to meet my needs, were very professional, and there was not one nail left behind.h“

Customer Feedback:
Arachne’s Thimble
“I used to work at Kaiser in Walnut Creek. I now live in Berkeley but still take things to Arachne’s Thimble because I’ve never found anywhere better. I only have positive things to say. They’ve done things for me in a rish when I needed them, and I’ve never had any mishaps.”
