Customer Feedback:
Wooden Window
“We own an old Oakland schoolhouse where most of the windows had been painted shut over the years. Not only did Wooden Window reverse the aging process and make them operate like new, but their workers were absolute gentlemen. They were very courteous and neat, and we felt confident about leaving them alone in our home.”

Customer Feedback:
Aurora Painting & Decorating
“They did a fantastic job! Dean is an artist, and it shows in his work. You can trust his judgment in color and finishes. But he and his crew also do exactly what they said they will do, and in the time that they say. He’s very meticulous. My neighbor also used him after seeing his work at my house in Richmond.”

Customer Feedback:
Browning’s Plumbing
“We found Browning’s in the Good Service Guide, and they’ve been out to help us a couple times. We had a toilet improperly installed by someone else, and it was leaking through to the garage. They fixed it right up, and were so polite and great.”

Peninsula
Customer Feedback:
Cal-Pac Roofing
“These people are gold. You just can’t find people like this anymore. I think I’ve referred five or six customers to them since they completed my job. I had a small problem a year later, and they took care of it immediately. The roof is beautiful, and the product is awesome. They put in two sky tunnels, too. Those really are terrific. I put one in the central hallway, and it just opened up the whole house. At night, even the moonlight lights up the house.”
