What started out as a simple deck rebuild in the backyard, turned into pouring new concrete and building a pergola and outdoor drill area with gas/water. Then, it stareted raining, so we brought the projects inside! They most recently replaced our old, hanging light fixtures with LED recessed lighting, revamped our main bathroom with Venetial Plaster and new fixtures, and he's managed our drywall, paint, and concrete projects over the past few weeks to help retain my sanity as a full-time working mother of two young boys and a traveling husband. I will give my full faith and support to Chris and his team anytime/any day and if you are looking for a GC that can get the work done properly, then give PortItalia a call if you are serious about starting a project and not looking for the lowest quote...you won't find quality like this at the bottom of your bids...

As a home owner one of the biggest fears and stress about doing any sizable remodel is choosing…read moreyour contractor. If you don't have someone you trust able to recommend a contractor to you, you are left to searching sites like Yelp for one. And how do you know who is truly good and not. Lucky for me my interior designer Caitlin Campbell recommended Chris Morello to me for my master bathroom remodel. What a great recommendation that was! Here are some words that come to mind when I think of Chris and his team: Trustworthy - Any issues that came up during the remodel Chris alerted me of immediately and quickly remedied. I never feared that he would cut corners and cover it up. He takes great pride in his work. Dependable - He and his team were at my house continually during the main part of the project. I never felt abandoned. I never had to chase Chris to get work complete. When the main part of the remodel is complete there are always tiny things that still need attention. Chris manages a "punch list" at the end of a project to make sure all the smaller details are taken care of. He sees this list through to completion with the same dedication and dependability as the main part of the remodel. I truly appreciate this! Quality - This is really wrapped up in the first two words I described above. Everything from his customer service level to his work exemplifies quality. Personable - For me this is so important. Chris has a great personality. He is serious about his work and very detailed oriented but he also has a very relaxed and friendly attitude. I never felt pressured into anything. I felt comfortable bombarding him with a myriad of questions and ideas and he always took the time to answer them whether that be in person, over the phone or e-mail. So if you are searching for a contractor let me recommend Chris to you. I have no doubt I will be working with Chris for all my future remodeling needs.

Great showroom! It's a little hard to find so make sure you look at the map before you head there…read more If you're heading north on Lafayette, look for the train overpass and you want to make a right turn just before going underneath it. The showroom is a big loft and they have several kitchen styles set up which gives you a good idea of what you can do with your house. And the designers are really knowledgeable and personable. So, I haven't yet done any remodelling myself as I'm still saving up $$ for all my projects, but I am doing my research now as I like to be prepared and well-informed before I embark on such a major project. They have really good reviews listed on Yahoo so I am pretty sure these guys are going to be designing my new kitchen and bathrooms. Oh yeah, make sure to look at their photo album when you get there because they have more pictures of different types of projects than is on their website. My favorite is the Mosswood project.

So, I don't give out five star reviews to anyone. I also saw a lot of reviews here from one- or…read moretwo-review people and wondered if they were all real. But I figured it couldn't hurt to go over and scope out the showroom on my own, because I usually have pretty good radar for whether someone is full of it or not. After talking to Marina for about fifteen minutes I decided I wanted to have these guys do my kitchen counters. In the first meeting (total cold-call walk in) I paid a lot of attention to the questions she was asking me and the information she was giving me, because in my book unprompted detail tells me a lot about how detail-oriented someone is. She told me all about stainless steel sink gauge *without me having to ask* -- which told me I could stop worrying about having to understand all the details on my own and just let her make recommendations. I gave her my measurements of the kitchen and she had the quartz guys put together a quote for it. The quote was *under* the estimate I got from another company in San Carlos last year. What's more, it also included tear-out and plywood leveling, which the other company had pretty much brushed off as "well, that's your problem, we don't do that." So I said, what the heck, let's do this. Tile counters came out on a Friday; quartz counters were installed two weeks later. No delays, no snags. Kitchen Galleries also didn't give me trouble about "only" wanting to do my counters, unlike a couple of other places (et tu, Home Depot) who wanted me to rip out the whole kitchen because leveling existing cabinets is too hard. Sure, I'd do the whole thing if I had 40 grand, but the cabinets are only 15 years old and in good shape, it's just that revolting white tile and mildewed grout I wanted to get rid of. (And as it turned out, my plywood was in good enough shape AND level, so they didn't have to replace it and knocked it off the price!) KG also recommended a plumber to help me disconnect and reconnect the sink and various appliances (no DIY'er I). That was as close as it got to "hidden" costs in the remodel, well, aside from me deciding I was under budget and thus totally deserved a new dishwasher and a sexy stainless steel faucet, air gap and soap dispenser. Ahem. The only hiccup in the whole process was Marina switched computers and for awhile I wasn't getting any emails from her even though her computer swore it was sending them. That kinda sucked. Other than that, all communications were extremely prompt and I never had to chase her down for something. And anyway, I totally prefer emails to phone tag -- she'd often reply within the hour, too. Anyway, I am very pleased with this remodel, and like I said, I never hand out five-star reviews. Check 'em out. Sure, you could wear yourself out researching stone guys and plumbers and installers and demolition crews and haulaway services, or you can just go with good people who know good people, and I'm definitely in the latter camp. And I didn't even do anything requiring bigtime design skills! The showroom is a bit stealth -- expect to pass it by once, the sign is really hard to see in the second floor windows.

The home I relocated to was only 5 years old and needed some updating to accommodate our taste. We thought we were going to have to gut 4 bathrooms and the kitchen but instead Jacqueline suggested some cosmetic changes that made an enormous improvement and saved thousands of dollars. As a result we were able to purchase many new pieces of furnishings and had money left over for landscaping which she made all of the recommendations for and did not charge for the consult of the landscape. I would highly recommend J Arcus Interiors for any residential improvements.

We have used Camarillo Interiors for several projects throughout different homes/properties and Brandon always comes through w/ great advice, very competitive pricing and most importantly, phenomenal work! The crew are always a pleasure to interact with as they carry upbeat attitudes and give off a very positive vibe - something that is paramount when it comes to trusting people to come in your home/personal space and work for hours on end! They have done carpet for us several times and we've found the materials they use to be very good (lots of options to choose from), and most recently we had them do hardwood downstairs in our home. We've got a step down living room w/ a tremendously long ledge. Brandon custom made the kick board piece to be as long as possible so we wouldn't have some Frankenstein-looking step and stained it perfectly to match the rest of the floors! We always get compliments on the floors so that is a testament to the quality of work that this company produces. He has also come by on occasions to do some repairs on carpet areas that we're pre-existing when we bought the house and the transitions are seamless where he made the repair. I would highly recommend them to anyone in my close personal network as many of us have all had the not-so-pleasant contractor in our homes and it's such a relief to find someone who is an expert at their work yet still be so pleasant to deal with. I echo the rating of A++++!
