Customer Feedback:
Benjamin Franklin Plumbing
“The man who came was such a nice fellow and he was on time— right on the dot! Their pricing is fair. I am very satisfied, and recommended them to my neighbor around the corner who was just as pleased. Next time, I’m going to have them replace my water heater.“

Larry Ackley’s Professional Painting
“I’d recommend Larry unreservedly. Our old house was a mess, covered with chipped and cracked layers of paint. Larry completely transformed it. He’s a terrific craftsman with a great sense of color.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Affordable Housecleaning
“We found him 2 years ago, and he is amazing. One of the best housecleaners we’ve ever had. He is very trustworthy— he has a key to our house, and even helped us out with our dog when my wife was in the hospital expecting quadruplets! He cleans the house across the street for two police officers, and we’ve hooked him up with a few other people as well.”

Customer Feedback:
Craftcare Hardwood Floors
“I used them 2 years ago to refinish the floor in my living room, and this summer they installed a similar floor, and blended the two beautifully. The crew was very, very nice and always cleaned up after themselves. I was completely happy with them!”
