Customer Feedback:
The Home Doctors
“My friend discovered them, and I’ve been using them now for about 3 years. They show up on time, are very cooperative, responsive, and do exactly what I want. They fill the gap between the larger jobs and the handyman jobs. They’re the ones you want!”

Customer Feedback:
Kim’s Appliance Repair
“He’s repaired stoves, refrigerators, washers and dryers for me. If they can’t be repaired he tells me, and saves me money. All I have to do is call him and it gets done. My tenants have been very happy with him. He’s very polite and always gets the job done.”

Customer Feedback:
Arachne’s Thimble
“I used to work at Kaiser in Walnut Creek. I now live in Berkeley but still take things to Arachne’s Thimble because I’ve never found anywhere better. I only have positive things to say. They’ve done things for me in a rish when I needed them, and I’ve never had any mishaps.”
