Signs And Signage Are Essential To Every Business - San Leandro, CA
November 21, 2009
By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer
Signs are used for so many things in the world. From directing traffic to safety to signs for branding your business, signs are essential.
Some people might argue that signs are not necessary for certain types of businesses. And I would disagree.
A business card could be considered your sign. And signs are important because it’s often the first time someone will see and/or get an initial impression of your business. No matter how small or large your business is, no matter if you have a physical location or not, and no matter if most people in your industry have or don’t have signs, you still need to have a branded image.
People eat with their eyes and buy what they want. If your business isn’t very appealing they won’t buy, even if you can do the best job. And in this day and age, people make decisions in smaller and smaller splits of a second. They judge books by their cover and they’ll judge you and your business based on your business cards and your signage, your store cleanliness and your attention to detail.
For a sign company that can get you every type of sign you could possibility want (trade show signs, banners, booth and backdrop graphics, monuments, indoor and outdoor business signs, way finding signs, back lit electric and neon signs, as well as window lettering and graphics for vehicles and store fronts), check out SignWorks.

November 18, 2009
By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer
No this is not a shameless plug for another company. No I’m not on the payroll. No I don’t have family members that work there. And no I don’t have and stocks or stake in the company. Salon Cartier in Walnut Creek is simply one of the best. And my sources are reliable:
Elle Magazine, Bazaar Magazine, and In Style Magazine
Are those good enough? Because Salon Cartier was featured in each one of those magazines.
And if you’re more of a word of mouth, local reference type person, Salon Cartier was voted Best Hair Salon in Contra Costa County. And in 2002, 2004, and 2005 they received Best of the East Bay Award from Diablo Magazine.
Not too shabby.

General Construction Contractors Make For A One Stop Shop - Walnut Creek, CA
November 15, 2009
By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer
A one stop shop. Everyone likes the idea.
When we go shopping we don’t want to have to go to 14 stores to get 14 things. Ideally one store would have it all…
Oh yeah, they already got that, it’s called WalMart. They even have McDonalds inside their store. They have gas stations that have a subway and a pizza hut inside.
Yes, convenience is what we all want.
When it comes to having a kitchen remodeled or having a major addition put on your house, you don’t really want to have 4 different contractors and their teams in your house and definitely not all at once. That’s when you need a general construction contractor that can do it all. That’s when you need the one stop shop.
Lawrence Electric & Construction is a true one stop shop. From the electrical work all the way to the installation and painting, they can do it all.

Personal Injuries Require A Great Lawyer - Simi Valley, CA
November 12, 2009
By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer
Auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, bus accidents, pedestrian accidents, dog bites, wrongful death cases, construction accidents, slip and falls, trip and falls, lions, tigers and bears, oh my!
Not the happiest string of words ever put together. But it’s definitely good to know that someone covers all those areas. And it’s good to know because when you find yourself in one of those scenarios (except for 1 of those scenarios, of course), it really sucks and can often change your entire life. It can be stolen against your will and in the blink of an eye.
For example, you hurt your hand at work because of equipment malfunction and you lose a finger. Depending on your job you might not be able to perform your daily tasks, putting you out of work in a terrible economy. Kids, bills, pills, groceries, gas, insurance, ahh!!
You get the idea.
So if you want a lawyer that knows what it means to be in your situation, someone who will fight for the money you deserve, Stuart Sherman will. He’s in Westlake Village and serves Simi Valley, CA too.

It’s Obvious Bella Casa Builders Builds Beautiful Homes - Los Altos, CA
November 9, 2009
By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer
It’s obvious that Bella Casa Builders builds beautiful homes. If you look at some of their pictures on their website you’ll be easily mesmerized. Beautiful pools, spacious kitchens, elegant bathrooms, soaring ceilings, the works. But there’s another reason it’s obvious Bella Casa builds beautiful homes.
Bella Casa translates to beautiful or nice house / home in Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
Building homes is an art and a science. It takes someone with a creative eye and strong hand. It takes a crafty professional. If you need help with the design process they can help. If you know exactly what you want they can make sure that it turns out exactly like you envision. If you’re somewhere in between they can help you fill in the gaps.
Sometimes there’s just not that much to say. In the end, a picture can tell the whole story. If you click on their image below and you’ll see what I mean. But it definitely helps when it says it in your name.

From Painting To Drywall, A Company That Can Do It All - Camarillo, CA
November 6, 2009
By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer
I think it’s great to have a painting company that also does dry wall. Some painting contractors focus solely on painting and don’t really do any dry wall work. If there is drywall work, maybe they’ll bring in another company to get it done.
But what if you just need to fix a hole in the wall that junior made with his brand new Louisville Slugger baseball bat. Cute little devil ain’t he. Maybe you’re thinking right about now that little league wasn’t the best idea…
But don’t panic if your in the Los Angeles area, particularly if you’re in Westlake Village, Camarillo or Thousand Oaks, California. There’s a company that’s a painting contractor that also specializes in drywall. They can patch the hole, paint it and make it look like it was never there…so you can get junior to practice and not swinging for the fences in the TV room.

Cleaning Your Windows And Gutters Can Be A Real Pane In The Glass | Danville, CA
November 3, 2009
By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer
Cleaning your windows and gutters and can really be a “pane in the glass.” I grew up cleaning the gutters of my folks house with a spoon atop a 20 something foot ladder with the winds whipping at what seemed like 40 miles an hour. A “pane” and also scary a hell! 20 years later, I still hate climbing up the ladder to spoon the dirt or wash the windows. Won’t do it. But if you don’t keep your gutters cleaned the water overspills and runs down the side of the house.
It’s kind of funny how in the scary movies you always see the shot where the rain is coming down the window at night because the “suspenseful villain” is lurking about and just killed the power… When I see those shots I always wonder, are the gutters clogged? The reason is because it’s a lot easier and cheaper to have your gutters cleaned than repainting the side of your house.
But the gutters, albeit scary, were never as frustrating as the windows. I just couldn’t ever figure out how to get them to be sparkly and streak-less. I realized later while working in the restaurant business that you need skills. That’s why restaurants and store front owners always have someone come in to clean their store front windows. Greasy hands and fingerprints on the windows gives a bad impression.
So if you’re tired of the hassle that goes with trying to clean and wash your own gutters and windows, Pane In The Glass can take the pain out of…
