Customer Feedback:
ABB Heating Service
“I’ve been pastor here since 1991, and they’ve been servicing our church for longer than that. They offer nothing but excellent worksmanship and professionalism. The pricing is reasonable, the service is quick, and they are very reliable. They don’t even charge our church for some of the smaller jobs.”

Blinds & Designs
“We had new windows put in, and the contractor recommended Blinds & Designs to me. Everything was done in a timely manner, the prices are competitive, and anything I asked for, I got. I will use them again.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
The Window Specialist
“We’re thrilled with our new windows—and we’re saving a fortune on energy bills. The wind used to whistle right through the old ones. The new windows have an awesome locking system that’s really easy to use, and they look beautiful. If that’s not enough, they were about a third of the price we were quoted elsewhere.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Birkmyer Landscapes
“We had a straight concrete walkway from our front door to the road, and we wanted that softened up a bit, so he and my husband bought a bunch of Mariposa blue slate together at the nursery. We were very active in selecting the plants as well as the design. It ended up a Mediterranean landscape, which is relatively low maintenance, with a drought resistant sprinkler system. We didn’t want grass, becuase we didn’t want to maintain it, but we wanted lots of color out front. Our whole concept has been achieved. It is kind of fun to walk out there and go ‘Wow, this is kind of a neat garden.’ And the cat likes it too. It is really, really nice.”
