I've been using Home Depot for many things over the years. I needed a mailbox replacement lock. I…read morewas walking down the aisle and there was a young man restocking something. I asked where the mailbox locks were. He didn't even blink and said it's down this isle right had side in bin number, it's towards the bottom. I was blown away it as exactly where he said it was. I'm so sorry I didn't get his name. I've never had anyone pretty much at any store know so exactly where something was without having to look it up. Clean cut young man with glasses. This was this evening 3/19 about 6:30. They should recognize this guy if they can identify him from this information.

Bottom Line: This place is a struggle…read more I'm just going to make this as simple as I can; - Bossman gave me a gift card he had purchased from the store - Attempted to purchase products online - Scratched the back of the card as instructed - Wasn't warned beforehand to not scratch the scracth-off area, and scratched off the pin - Had to go to the store to ask about it - Got the PIN from a kind, professional and courteous customer service employee - Walked over to the checkout area to ask if they could order something for me online, (as the part isn't IN the store) but I was already in the store - Attempted to explain but this request it was beyond the capacity of this institution - Simply went home to order what I needed from the site - Card has zero balance The above wasted hours of my life are certainly not the first and certainly not the last. I have had so many painful interactions in this store and it goes back decades. Today just prompted me to actually write a review and this one leaves a bad taste in my mouth for sure. I'm going to go ahead and leave off the phone call I made regarding the zero balance gift card that also lasted nearly an hour as it doesn't pertain to anything this store has done but it's a nice cherry to add to the story. The only people that I have consistently had a positive experience with are the Customer Service people, just inside the entrance. Against all odds, these folks are out there doing what I would imagine is the hardest job in the store.

Eduardo and his team came highly recommended by a friend. He provided his professional insight and was instrumental in guiding us with the long list of decisions we didn't even know we'd need to make. He's personable, charming, and felt like an instant friend. We told him what we envisioned and he gave us some great color suggestions and options to help narrow down the seemingly endless and overwhelming colors that exist. Perhaps we were a bit naïve, this being our first home purchase and first time being involved in a home renovation, but it is no simple feat! We'd imagined a couple guys with their paint cans and a couple brushes, but it is a whole entire operation. I mean, it's intense. They immediately got to work with ladders going up, shutters coming down, drilling and hammering and sanding OH MY! Once things got started, it became clear that this old house would be no simple project. To top it off, many of the doors and windows needed restoration, which they tackled with their handy dandy arsenal of tools, knowledge, and experience. The guys were prompt, courteous, and worked tirelessly each day. You could tell they have a great rapport with one another. Eduardo would stop by a couple times a day to check in on things, and chat with us about where we were in the process and what decisions needed to be made. I reluctantly admit that we are indecisive by nature and we changed our minds a couple times throughout the journey, but they were patient, understanding, and worked with us through our madness. Who knew something as seemingly mundane as choosing colors could actually be so emotionally taxing? Yall, it's heavy! Eduardo made some bold suggestions that we initially met with apprehension, but we ultimately ended up going with his recommendations. We should have trusted his judgement to begin with! No regrets! Now that the job is complete, we are absolutely thrilled with the results. Our house looks revitalized. This paint job feels like a refreshing breath of fresh air. I love every decision, every detail, the gorgeous application. I'd hug it if I could. He will be the only person we call for any future paint job and without hesitation, absolutely recommend him for any of your painting needs.

The requested partial staging was fairly priced and the results just stunning. Not only beautiful enhancements, but small thoughtful touches to add warmth and a sense of "home". Especially in a time of sudden and drastic changes in the RE market (pandemic), her gorgeous furniture and accent pieces very definitely made our home "shine" to best advantage and greatly helped us to sell. We highly recommend Styled and Staged to any wishing to sell their homes--to do so will be a huge advantage.

The house will be listed in 3 weeks and I need someone to stage the house; to add the finishing touches. I interviewed several staging companies. The last person I called before making a final decision was Christine Cowles Bergamin at Styled & Staged Santa Barbara. Of all the staging companies that came to my house she spent the most time. Christine and her husband Mauricio are a terrific team. They spent time measuring rooms, taking pictures and really getting a feel for the house. I was very impressed and decided to hire them on the spot. Within a day I received a detailed written estimate. She recommended which rooms were most important for staging and what I could do to save some money. I decided to do more than less and she got to work. A few days before my property went on the market, Christine and her husband got to work. They spent two full days "dressing" the house. Christine obsessed over every tiny detail. Furniture came in and then came out, pictures in pictures out: It was a frenzy of activity, finding just the right pieces for the space. Staged & Styled SB converted my house from a nicely remodeled house into a high end luxury home. A professional photographer, a great agent and a fabulous staging company and my home was listed on a Thursday. The next day I received multiple offers and accepted the best offer Saturday. All this before the open house on Sunday! A professional staging company is a must. The property shows better in the MLS listing and creates a real "buzz". There's more interest, more offers and it sells fast! Thank you Christine and Mauricio. I couldn't have done it without you! Brian P. Goleta
