Oakland/Berkeley
Customer Feedback:
Blackbird Designs
“They did a major kitchen remodel in our 1930s house. We were planning on just updating it a bit, but they gave us so many creative ideas we ended up closing off some walls and working with the lighting. They are so imaginative. They were very clear on the costs, and very generous with their time. We found them in the Good Service Guide.”

Peninsula
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.“
