Well not to be a complete dick but they all look pretty bad. None of the coloring, margins, spacing, or anything shows any consistency. Elements are haphazardly placed on the pages (Put them in a grid layout). It immediately looks like an amatuer website. For business websites you need them to look professional enough to give users a "warm fuzzy" that this isn't some scam.
GK. Inc. for a page title is bad, put in some more information (for SEO)
Green+Blue+orange color scheme is all out of whack.
You're using a bullet list for links, right by a bullet list for static text, very confusing.
The house drawing is not so great.
Houston pressure washers shows the same spacing, alignment issues. Uniform spacing, margins, and consistent layout is what intuitively gives a "sane" look to a website (web version of rule of thirds I suppose).
The skyscrapers site is just plain bad. There are 5 different types of "link buttons" onscreen, and half don't look like links. The google adword placement is intrusive, and probably not worth the $1/month in revenue it will generate until you build traffic.
You are using left, right, and center justified items all simultaneously.
Keep it simple, many a great website can be built using a single table, dark grey text, and Trebuchet MS font.

hmm interesting.
it seems there is a lot to be changed then, hopefully ill be able to fix them sometime soon.
actually, the skyscraper site recieves around 250 thousand people a month, so the ad revenue isnt bad ;-)
