They took my kitchen project ideas and created spaces far above what I could ever imagine. I looked forward to meeting with them and watching my little kitchen space evolve before my eyes. I received so much attention it felt like I was their only client. Unlike my contractor, Guido, and Victoria were always available to me. Always. Guido is an experienced, creative designer with excellent taste who thinks outside the box. He went with me to pick my stone and backslash even offering to drive me to the Bay area for more choices. Victoria did all the 3D plans in order that my non-3 demential brain could see exactly what the space would look like, as well as the plans to submit for a permit. Guido and Victoria helped me pick and buy appliances, which is not easy these days. Every detail was handled including buying hardware. They even purchased for me so I got discounts. They created a three-ring binder that was a godsend for the contractor. They were my support system and I will never forget that without them, my gorgeous kitchen would never have happened. Grazie mille!

After years of frustration, I finally decided to get it refinished. I found Techstone through ChatGPT (yep!) and went out on a limb after reading the great reviews. Paul was awesome. Professional, kind, trustworthy, and genuinely a pleasure to work with. He sanded, polished, and sealed both sinks, doing the absolute best possible job -- especially on the difficult one. He even came back to see if there was anything more he could do to improve it. The sink now looks the best it *can* given its condition, and I really appreciate the care and effort he put in. I would **highly recommend** Paul and Techstone over anyone else. Solid work, great attitude, a reasonable price and total pro.
