Orchard Keepers
“I was looking for a hard to find fruit tree and was referred to Orchard Keepers. I reached out and got a quick response. We had a phone call and exchanged several emails. They helped me find what I was looking for, gave me a reasonable quote, then came and installed my tree for me in my back yard. The person that did the work at my house , JP, was on time, knew what to do, answered my questions, gave me the info I needed on caring for my trees going forward, cleaned up after himself and just like that I am good to go. Very happy with all my interactions with this company, via phone, email and in person. Highly recommend Orchard Keepers and will definitely use them in the future.<br><br>Update 6/2026<br>Orchard Keepers came out and pruned our citrus trees for us.<br>Our second service with Orchard Keepers but not our last.<br>Again I am impressed by the whole experience. A quote was provided based on some short videos I sent of the trees. Based on the quote I booked the pruning service. Liam arrived at the scheduled time confirmed what was to be accomplished and set to it. He worked wonders with our trees especially given the condition they were in.<br>Liam answered my questions and helped to educate me on how to care for the trees going forward. A follow up email detailing the service, findings and recommendations for future care arrived a day or two later.<br>So happy to find local experts that provide excellent service at a reasonable price.”

Invision Design + Build
“I cannot recommend Invision Design and Build highly enough. We hired Arnie Huddin, licensed General Contractor, along with his daughter Amber Cortez, a Certified Interior Designer and project manager, and her husband Roberto Cortez, the project lead and site manager, for a major concrete and structural project at our home. The scope was extensive and included a new front porch and entryway with stairs, a large back patio with stairs and a built-in barbecue, and new concrete walkways surrounding our home.<br><br>From the design phase through completion, the entire Invision team was exceptional. Amber did a fantastic job presenting us with thoughtful design ideas and different options, helping us think through not only how everything would look, but also how it would function. Roberto was excellent at overseeing the work on site and managing the many details involved in a project of this size. Arnie's experience as a GC was especially valuable when it came to the structural components of the project and making sure things were done correctly and built to last.<br><br>They also did an excellent job managing the concrete subcontractor and advocating for the quality of the finished product. We felt throughout the project that Invision was looking out for our interests and wasn't willing to settle for work that didn't meet their standards.<br><br>What makes my recommendation even stronger is that our own project isn't my only experience with Invision Design and Build. I have also had the pleasure of recommending them to several of my clients for projects ranging from kitchen and bathroom remodels to significant structural repairs, including cantilevered balconies. Without exception, my clients have raved about their experience with the Invision team and the quality of their work.<br><br>It's rare to find a company that brings together strong design skills, experienced construction oversight, attention to structural integrity, and genuinely good project management. Arnie, Amber, and Roberto make a great team, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again or continue recommending them to my clients.<br><br>Five stars, without hesitation!”

Call Elite! Every single person that has been in my house has been great, both Elite employees and the sub contractors. I will honestly miss them when they are gone. Especially Loren, such a great vibe!<br><br>The job that they are doing, top notch, while also staying within my budget and also exceeding my time expectations.<br><br>Call Elite!”
Cardinal Construction
“So great to work with. Discussed what was needed, and was given what turned out to be a very accurate estimate. (lower than some others I got as well). Work was done well, clean, quick and I love how the new deck looks. I never had to step foot at the project. The rickety old deck removed and a new one installed. Thanks Mel and her Cardinals.”
Bay Plumbing Supply & Showroom
“Customer Service is the heartbeat of any business that deals with the public. Particularly when you are selling products as most of us can find pretty much anything nowadays, either on the web or certainly from multiple suppliers. When I’ve shopped at Bay Plumbing, I’ve always had good interactions with the helpful staff. I had a plumbing leak with a product that I had bought six years ago from them. I stopped at the front desk and spoke with Dom. I was planning on purchasing some replacement parts. Rather than take my money and possibly sell me on an upgrade, She said, let me put you in touch with the company. I think we can get that for you at no cost. She spent time researching the original invoice, found it and gave me exact instructions on what to say when speaking with them.<br>I had reviewed them before and given them a five star review, but I wish there were more stars available, as I found this most remarkable service. And of course, I’ll be back the next time I need something. When you go in yourself, ask for Dom. I expect you will be most pleased.”

Arana Home Repair
“Brian from Arana came out and did 3 jobs for me. Replaced two broken bathroom tiles and regrouted then, fixed a sink drain leak, and fixed some wood framing that was coming off the drywall. He provided written estimates ahead of time. He was professional and his work was of good quality. He communicated clearly and kept me apprised of progress throughout the day. Would recommend Arana Home Repair.”
J M Construction
“Joe and his team did a beautiful TV area for me in a very short and efficient time. They were able to start the project quickly from when I first contacted him and finished within a few days. His prices was fair and reasonable for the work. He was able to turn my vision into a nice Tv area and was able to solve any problem that came up. Would definitely use him again or recommend him !”

“Shannon helped us with our remodel/rebuild of our 100 year old home. She is a delight to work with, has such creative ideas, and easily walked us through the myriad of decisions we had to make with her wealth of design knowledge and understanding of materials and products. We trusted her completely and even began to refer to her as our "guru". Her input and positive energy made the project far less stressful, and we are absolutely thrilled with the end result!”
