Customer Feedback:
De Martini/Arnott Painting Company
“They were very helpful in helping me choose the colors, which was something I wasn’t expecting. They also did a faux marble finish on our fireplace— we get compliments on that every time anybody sees it. I can’t recommend them highly enough!”

Customer Feedback:
Chris Fortner Construction
“Chris did a complete kitchen remodel, and renovated our family room. He did everything- from the electrical and plumbing, to the lighting and finish work. He did a great job, and was great to work with. He was communicative, had good prices, and overall it was a very positive experience.”

Customer Feedback:
Ross M. Stangeland DDS
“Both my wife and I go to Dr. Stangeland. He’s always willing to work with us. My wife broke a crown on a Friday morning, and Dr Stangeland was able to see her that afternoon, so her weekend wasn’t ruined. He and his staff take great care of us.”
