Customer Feedback:
Strokes Fine Painting
“They did an elaborate color consultation with us on our home in Bernal Heights last summer, then painted it. It turned out beautifully. We receive compliments from our neighbors all the time - people just rave about the house. Dar’s color combination is unique and unusual, and was perfectly applied. We are utterly delighted.’

Customer Feedback:
Columbine Landscaping
“They re-did my whole front yard, hand built stone walls and terraces, and made a very lovely space. They put in a sprinkler system and ground cover, and made the whole yard look brand new. That was 6-8 months ago, and she’s already followed up to replace some plants and put down more ground cover. I can call her any time and she will follow up.”

Lance Painting & Decorating
“I found him in the Good Service Guide 11 years ago, and he’s painted just about every part of the house. He’s painted every house on my court— everyone loved the job he did for me so much. He’ll go the extra mile for you. He becomes a friend, and someone you can really rely on.”

Fine Tree Care
“I have used Fine Tree Care on several occasions. They have removed sick trees from my property, and saved others. They are really good at bringing out the shape of the tree so that it looks flourishing and healthy.”
