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.”

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:
Franz Termite Control
