This family run company provides excellent services. Wayne Stanley came out to do our measurements. He was really friendly and clearly is an expert when it comes to shutters. We ordered our shutters from them and they were meticulous in terms of measuring and installing. Huge variety of shutters to choose from. We have gotten so many compliments on our wooden shutters.

I have been using Costa House Cleaning for almost 10 years. One woman runs the business and has several people working for her. They are reliable and very trustworthy. You really need to be clear and specific when explaining what to do. Everybody has their quirks and keep in mind they are not mind readers. I've had to explain several things two or three times, but they eventually get it. They speak Portuguese -- not Spanish.

House of Values in San Mateo uses an interesting concept. They don’t have nice showrooms, but they have tons of catalogues you can look through to find just what you want. Because they don't spend a huge amount of money on decorating the showrooms, their stuff is quite reasonably priced.
Roney’s in San Leandro is similar, but the showroom is a lot nicer.

When we first heard rats in our attic we called Orkin because they are a well known company. We found out that you have to sign up for a 6 month plan where they check out your house each month for $80 a time. I didn't realize that this was automatic. So the guy came by twice, put in glue traps in the attic (which I think he never took out), and closed up a hole into the attic. I think that hole was what worked, because from then on we didn't have rats (for awhile) but he never did catch any. Then for the next 4-5 mos. he would just "stop by" whenever he felt like it for the official monthly checkup, and we would be charged $80. I guess he stopped by and looked outside the house because he never connected with me and I never let him in again. I wouldn't use them for anything large again (they might be okay for just spraying for insects) and probably not at all because of their 6 month system and lack of customer service.
