Businesses and Allies I Trust
This is a list of Businesses, People and Services I trust. People I have worked with or had work done by that I am confident will do well by you.
Richard worked under a respected tbay painter for years before starting his own business. I trust Richard to give a fair quote, good service and follow up to make sure people are happy.
I met Jim after he did some work for my parents, we had him into the shop to help build the prep fortress. He did a great job, was easy to work with and communicate with.
owned by the relative of a family friend, the steam guy keeps our equipment in working order and has been great to work with on upgrades and installation as well.
Trevor has been a plumber forever and when he set up his own business I was pumped. I trust this man completely and would not even consider calling someone else.
Dave has been great to get to know. He is a good person and has been very reasonable to deal with. I advise calling them when you are starting a business to go over upkeep.
Bob is a refrigeration wizard. he builds systems his own unique way and has a way with equipment that blows my mind. my general policy is to just do whatever bob says.
my first business was right beside Bebee. I can’t count how many times they helped us and were understanding of a small business that had a million little problems.
this company is insurance against issues with pests. I have seen them monthly for over a decade. experienced and easy to work with, I advise giving them a call (before) as soon as you suspect an issue.
SPI has been great to work with on our safety equipment. They are so good at setting up regular inspections and updates that you might not even notice them.
Josh and I knew each other as young men and I was pumped to see he started up a shop. He knows what he is doing and will make sure you understand the problem and how he will fix it.
We dealt with kings for years and ryan is damn good at what he does. i trust him completely to give anyone a fair deal and make sure the problem is fixed. They are getting busier all the time.
