Sunshine Certified Home Inspections
Specialty Contractors in St. Louis
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 13, 2015
“Kevin was awesome! We bought our home online from Africa. He gave us a huge discount for living in Old North St. Louis and even offered us some of his equipment to do some needed tuck-pointing! I highly recommend Sunshine Certified Home Inspections, especially if you live in Old North!”
PCS -STL
Specialty Contractors in St. Louis
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 25, 2017
“We initially chose PCS for some painting in our house. They were so professional and did such a great job we used them to do a major re-hab on a foreclosure home we bought for investment. We continue to use them for projects small to large and we recommend them to anyone looking for a company that works with you, not just for you.”
Loughman Builders and Remodelers
Specialty Contractors in St. Louis
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 7, 2015
“John Loughman was very easy to work with and intent on meeting our needs. He did several small jobs for us (closet door install, roof flashing repair, staircase railing) but treated each carefully and thoroughly. The one job he couldn't do for us, he found another contractor who did the job. He was always courteous and communicated well, was honest and worked with us to reduce costs when we could. He kept everything clean and neat and helped us adapt our ideas to the actual situation. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.”
