Customer Feedback:
Hargens Inc.
“They did a gutter replacement for me— came out, did a great job, and left no mess afterwards! They are very easy to work with, and give good service. Ron Smith, who manages it, is a very nice man and really follows through on what he does. They were more affordable than any other bids that I had.”

Customer Feedback:
Co-operative Cleaning Company
“I’ve used them for about 15-20 years. They do general housecleaning for me— dusting, cleaning the kitchen and the bathroom. I often leave them alone in the house to do the job, and they are honest, work with integrity, and never break anything. They do the job that I’ve hired them to do, and I get good value for my money. I’m semi-retired, and I am happy to have them here to do the cleaning jobs so I don’t have to. Cooperative’s housecleaners are always very nice people.”

Contra Costa County
Customer Feedback:
Lance Painting & Decorating
“I interviewed a lot of painters for our job, and Lance was by far the best. He has a lot of color experience and education, which is exactly what we needed. He hand edged all of the walls, with 25 foot ceilings, using no tape! My husband and I both work out of the house, and he was able to work around us and our schedules.”

Customer Feedback:
O’Grady Plumbing
“They’re fabulous! I’ve been using them for the past 3 years. I am a property manager, and they take care of all my plumbing needs. They are very helpful and they always schedule me in. I like that they are a family-run business. I would give them your highest rating.”
