We just returned to the Bay Area and are renting a great place in Piedmont until we decide what to…read morebuy; still we needed to furnish and decorate as none of our old stuff fit the scale. We found Robineve thru a neighbor and she understood how to work with our needs, i.e. not make mistakes with purchases that we wouldn't be able to use in our next home. Sooo grateful we chose to go with her. She found really fun multi-functional, flexible pieces--kind of modern, kind of timeless. My partner can't picture things as easily as I can (techie!), so she had her design assistant do a cool schematic 3D presentation with the new selections. We were so happy with the results, and she hit our budget parameters. Will definitely be coming back to her when we move into a house of our own. - Lee L.

Robineve is wonderful to work with! She helped me a bit at my old house but when I moved, she was…read morethe first person I called to come out and see the new house because I knew I wanted her help to decorate it. Because she has learned my style, she is able to provide me with a few excellent options for each piece in my rooms. For the new house she actually did the whole floorplan for all rooms except my husband's man-cave. I love her work and the pieces she helped me select. People who come to our house are always complementing us on our beautiful livingroom. I actually just worked with her again on a small project to add a reclaimed wood mantle to our fireplace. Love her and highly recommend her!!!!

One of our best decisions was hiring Ridgecrest Builders to do our 2 remodels. We first used Larry…read moreand his team back in 2009 to do a whole house remodel. The house was built in 1948 and needed everything--electrical upgrade, roof, plumbing, central heat in addition to a new kitchen and adding a 2nd bath. Larry and his team were professional, hard working, trustworthy, and very skilled. Larry has been in the business for over 40 years and had some very practical ideas and solutions for issues that came up with our architectural plans. The subs he contracted were also top rate. We were so happy with our first remodel that we hired them again recently to put on a small addition (family room) with built in cabinets, a fireplace and AC for the whole house. Once again Larry and his team did an excellent job and we love our new space. Thank you Larry and Ridgecrest Builders for our beautiful home.

Low quality work product and dishonest owner…read more Our house remodel was way late and every facet had problem: foundation, framing, electrical, floors, plumbing. Whenever we asked Larry about any issue he had 100 excuses and tried to blame us for things his crew screwed up. It was a disaster from start to finish.

We had heard great things about working with Keri from neighbors who had hired her to represent…read morethem when they sold their home and chose Keri as their Agent. When we decided to sell our home, we interviewed other prospective agents along with Keri and quickly came to the conclusion that we would move forward with Keri based on her approach, knowledge of the neighborhood, her marketing plan and recommendations. We expected these areas would be similar with other agents but what set Keri apart was the way she listened to and understood our needs. We found Keri to be personable, fun, committed, knowledgeable, and available based on our schedules. These are all qualities that we found important in working with the person that was going to manage us through this important process. Another aspect that sets Keri apart was the way she handled and managed all of the inspections and contractors. Her team and the workers she recommended were first rate and her communication and scheduling skills kept us informed and at ease throughout the process. My wife and I highly recommend Keri and The Agency for your real estate needs and are pleased to provide this recommendation! We sold our home within two weeks of going to market and are very happy with the outcome.

Keri is truly one-of-a-kind in an area that's absolutely flooded with realtors. Having been on a…read moreperpetual house hunt for years, we have met all her competitors, and just can't imagine working with anyone else. We had reached out to Keri on and off over the years, as we were trying to figure out when to make our big move, and she always had sound advice, took a lot of time to get to know the particulars of our situation (constraints, needs, wants, plans), and did all of this without ever making us feel pressured to do anything, or like we were taking up too much of her time. After several false-starts, when we were finally ready to make the move, she both helped us in the complicated and unconventional sale of our townhouse, as well as worked overtime (and even brought her laptop to her own birthday lunch to make sure our counter-offer made it into the mix in time!) to get us into what is now our new home. Again and again she went above and beyond expectations, and we have never hesitated to recommend her to our friends. Through a sometimes-stressful and very complicated concurrent closing situation, she pulled off the almost-impossible, and also was a huge support to us whenever anything came up. She makes you feel like you are her only client, conducts herself professionally, ethically, and is just a pleasure to work with.

We hired Brittany to help furnish and design our new home (mostly living room, dining room, entry…read morearea). Brittany was very easy to work with and has excellent taste. We absolutely love how everything turned out and are still amazed of how beautiful our home looks. There were many items she picked that I may not have picked myself but I am glad I trusted her judgment because once the items arrived and we saw it in our space, they were perfect! One heads up - given how busy she is with several projects, I do recommend setting timeline expectations at the beginning as our project took longer than expected. Overall, I highly recommend Brittany. We would be happy to work with her again.

I hired Brittany to design my master bedroom in my home that I recently purchased. She just…read morefinished the final touches and I couldn't be more happy. During the initial consultation, Brittany listened to my vision, colors, and style preferences. In no time, she had the room design layout emailed to me. It was absolutely perfect! I was so excited! She made my dream bedroom come to life. The process from there was getting the materials and the install which Brittany orchestrated perfectly. She really made it easy. I give my highest recommendation to Brittany and will be hiring her for the interior design for my entire home.

We worked with Shota from Home and Design for our kitchen remodeling project…read more Absolutely thrilled with the results. Shota is very thorough and detail-oriented in his designs. Some of the nuances around remodeling are beyond the comprehension of a typical person, but Shota's deep expertise helped us navigate the various configuration options related to fixtures, material matching and functionality etc. Shota is also very responsive to questions and patient when it comes to explaining remodeling complexities. He spent a generous amount of time with us at the showroom to pick the right materials.

From the moment my husband and I purchased our home, we knew we wanted to transform it into…read moresomething really special.. not just beautiful, but a space that reflected our life, our style, and most importantly, our growing family with our little son. What we didn't expect was how emotional and meaningful that journey would become and how much of a difference the right team would make. Working with Home and Design Studio was nothing short of exceptional. They didn't just approach our project as a remodel, they approached it with care, intention, and a deep understanding of what "home" really means. Every detail felt thoughtfully considered, every conversation felt personal, and every step of the process felt elevated. One of the most incredible parts of the experience was how they brought our vision to life before anything was even built. The quality and the level of execution gave us complete confidence that every dollar was well spent. It's not just about the transformation it's about the long-term value and the feeling that we made the right decision for our family. Through their design process, we were able to really see our future home, our son's spaces, our family areas, the flow of everyday life and it created a level of excitement and confidence that is hard to put into words. As parents, that meant everything to us. We are beyond grateful for their professionalism, their artistry, and the way they made us feel throughout the entire process. If you are looking for a design team that delivers not just beautiful results, but a elevated and meaningful experience, Home and Design Studio is in a class of its own!

Mimi quickly understood my style and deftly guided me towards a neutral but interesting color palette that would fit any use.

I found Jennifer's ad on craigslist and decided to contact her from there…read more I had just purchased a condo in San Carlos and being a single male, I hadn't the slightest clue how to decorate or pick things that would match well. Jennifer and I met up and she asked questions about my tastes and budget. We then mapped out the costs and time line for the project. Throughout the next few weeks she emailed me options for all the different rooms including center pieces, curtains, art pieces, accents etc.. She was spot on on what I was looking for. She made this process very easy and everything she picked out looks great! I highly recommend her!!!

We hired Niche Interiors to help us furnish a new house. It's our first house that we've owned, so…read morewe were pretty much starting from scratch. Jennifer helped us with our son's bedroom, eat-in kitchen, family room, living room, and den as well as paint selection and window coverings for the entire house. She was also great about providing quick input (yay or nay) on other rooms that we had chosen to do ourselves to save budget. We absolutely love the results! One of her references had told us that their house 'feels like us, only better' and that's exactly how we feel. It doesn't feel like a decorator's house - it feels like our house, but done in a much nicer way than we could have pulled together on our own. Jen pushed us to take a few risks that we would have been nervous to do on our own - and they really elevate the look. Over a year later, we still love it. The thing we appreciated most about Jennifer is that she was very conscious of our budget and does an amazing job of mixing & matching mass produced items with more expensive custom pieces to achieve a custom look for a lot less. She also made the process very easy for us by giving us a very curated set of options that we could choose from for each major item - allowing us to make the decision ourselves, but very efficiently. She also found a way to incorporate some key pieces we already owned - but wasn't shy about telling us which things had to go. I guess the ultimate recommendation is that we later added a master suite to our house and asked her to help us again!
