San Francisco
Customer Feedback:
Hargens Inc.
“I recommend them very highly. They started out working on our rain gutters when we had a new roof installed, and then I found out that they do heating as well! They do quality work, and they meet all of their appointments (which is a rarity in this day and age!). They respected my time and my family, and I really appreciate that. Unbelievably nice, accountable, and they don’t make any false promises. If this is how they always conduct business, they are going to be around for a very long time. Integrity and honesty go a long way.”

Jacobs Spring Fresh Cleaning
“He’s very personable, and serious about doing a good job. We use him about twice a year. He did a fantastic job on a couch that hadn’t been cleaned for years. It came out looking great.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
McHale Insulation
“I’ve lived in the East Bay all my life and I never realized that insulation could make such a difference. My home was built in the 30s, and I just thought you had to have the heat on all winter. The whole house feels more substancial now, and the walls muffle sound.“

Customer Feedback:
E Solutions International
“I’ve just sold the large home that E Solutions installed solar panels on. I can’t remember exactly, but I would say that we immediately saw an 80% reduction on our utility bills. Jeff really knows what he’s doing when it comes to solar power.”
