"Thank you Nageeb for the wonderful job on the various projects you did for us. We had a new window installed in the bedroom and could not fit the air conditioner. Nageeb put in a board that we screwed the air conditioner into so that it is now in the window, just in time for the hot weather. We also desperately needed caulking surrounding the tub in the bathroom. It now looks like the tub was just installed. What a difference. We highly recommend his work and would certainly use him again."
"Nightshade was the 3rd company I had in to quote new motorized shades in my home. After seeing what they had to offer, it was an easy decision to go with them. They gave me a fair price, with shades that were perfect for what needed. They had many different options and walked me through what would work best in each room. The customer service was top notch. When it was time for installation, they came in and made sure to cover my floors and did a quick, neat job. I would recommend them to anyone looking for window coverings. A+++"

The final look was far better than the original workmanship done by the builder by adding the finishing touches of a true craftsman."
