Customer Feedback:
Blinds & Designs
“I like them enormously! They did shutters for me, and I really like the way they turned out. They were efficient and got everything done in a timely manner, and never tried to up-sell me. They also did some work for my daughter, which turned out great as well.”

Customer Feedback:
Norcal Construction
“I own a grocery store in Oakland that needed repairs after a fire. My adjuster suggested Norcal, and I was really satisfied with them. They suggested what should be done, did it, and made sure it met inspection. They are reliable, and I will be using them again.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
The Carpet Doctor
“I’ve been working with Don for about 3 years now, and he always does a really great job. I’ve used Chem-Dry in the past, but I didn’t like the idea of the chemicals, so I’m happy to be working with Don. I let him know when I want him to come back, and he calls to remind me.”
