Customer Feedback:

Anderberg Construction Consulting

“He came out and consulted on how to take care of the drainage problem in my basement. He drew sketches, explained everything in laymen’s terms, and gave me suggestions of three contractors to contact who could do the work I needed done. His service was very comprehensive.”

Contra Costa County

Customer Feedback:

ABC Windows

“They did a wonderful job— very professional. What I liked is that ABC made the windows themselves, and that they are family-owned. They don’t just treat you like another number; they take an interest in you as a person. Their customer service was excellent, and they had the best price of the three companies I checked with.“

Peninsula

Customer Feedback:

Larry Lynch & The Mob

“They created just the perfect environment for our daughter’s wedding in Burlingame. I have never been to an event where everybody from the children to the old folks were up on their feet and dancing. The music was superb, and the singing terrific. The sound was comfortable when appropriate, and muted when it made sense. We couldn’t have asked for more.”
