Customer Feedback:
Five Star Housekeeping - A Referral Service
“We’re very pleased. We’ve had the same young woman at our home in Oakland for several months now. She knows what she’s doing and she has a nice attitude. If I ever want to make a change, or I want to ask questions, I can always get through.”

Oakland/Berkeley
Customer Feedback:
Aarvaks Heating & Air Conditioning
“As a single woman, I don’t know much about heating and air conditioning. It’s not really my forte. I found Jeff to be incredibly helpful, patient, reasonable and knowledgeable. You can’t say that about too many contractors.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Grace Santana Plumbing
“I’ve been extremely pleased with them. He’s very conscientious and reliable. He rebuilt our redwood deck, and also laid a driveway for us. He doesn’t do the job and then disappear. I hope The Good Service Guide doesn’t make him too busy to do my work!”
