The best decision we ever made was hiring Jillian for our home extension and renovation project…read more She exceeded our expectations on every level. We started with a phone consultation and she truly listened to our vision, priorities, and budget limitations. She has excellent communication skills, so she quickly followed up with an email proposal that was exactly what we had in mind. We continued to meet every other week and she would come prepared with schematics and samples for us to review. From there, she created detailed elevation plans, down to the millimeter. Our contractor was so grateful because every element had already been organized and well planned out and his team just had to execute it. She made the entire process so easy for us and our construction team! She also has impeccable taste, so every detail of our design plan was timeless and sophisticated, yet within our budget. We are so grateful we found Jillian and we thank her for being a critical part of making our dream house a reality!

I've worked with Jillian on countless of home improvement projects and even a new construction. We…read morehave been colleagues for over five years, we met when I was a listing manager and she was an interior designer at a local real estate company. We worked together on hundreds of homes prepping them for sale. Several years later, we have both started our own real estate ventures. When I was building my home, I went to Jillian for the initial floor plan consultation, and worked with her all the way to picking out details like the finishes and paint colors. Madera Interior Design is a great resource for project management and all design related aspects of a home. Jillian is organized, communicative, and overall a great person. I have also recommended her to several clients and colleagues. It's always a pleasure doing business with Jillian!

Sean responded quickly to my Quote Request (solar panel and roof cleaning) on Yelp. His quote was…read morevery reasonable compared to others. After meeting him in person, it did not take long to notice that he is passionate about what he does and offers excellent professional services. It was the first time we had our concrete roofing tiles cleaned after 20+ years. As you can imagine, it was not an easy task to clean up the green moss-covered roof. Sean applied the proper cleaning solutions and offered a second visit to make the rooftop and solar panels sparkling clean. Believe me, I confirmed it with my drone. I estiamte that the cleaned solar system generates 16% more electricity. Overall, HELIOS-XC Services offers fantastic high quality services with great value. I highly recommend it!

Checked out our house after being abroad a couple weeks. Open house planned later that day…read more Requested service on Yelp at 5:55 AM Sat AM and heard back at 7 AM from Sean. He and Warren came fully equipped to power-wash at 10 AM. Front entryway, garden wall and patio. Done in a little over 2 hours and threw in the front exterior of the house as well. Efficient and detailed oriented. Super responsive, even on a Sat!! Sean will try to convince you to do the roof as well but was very understanding that we were selling the house and the roof wasn't our priority.

Without a doubt one of the best real estate staging companies in this area. Joanne's taste, style…read moreand furnishings enhanced greatly the sale ability of my client's property. Furnishings create emotions that stimulate buyer actions. If you are seeking that "look" and "feel" that will help it sell. A call to Joanne is my strongest suggestion. Highly recommended.

As a contractor building very high end homes I have encountered many interior designers. There…read morehave been few that have been as easy to work with as Jo Ann. The last project that I was on where Jo Ann was involved, was for a very well organized CEO of a local company and I watched them work together effortlessly. Whenever I made an installation suggestion, it was not brushed aside (as it has sometimes occurred) and I was actually thanked for my help in bringing Jo Ann's designs to fruition. When the home was finished and decorated it looked terrific and took a very short time because all of Jo Ann's suppliers actually stuck to the schedule and were easy to coordinate with.

Sally did the design work for my new kitchen. She was a sub to my contractor, so I did not select…read moreher. Sadly, if I had it to do again, I would not work with Sally. On the pro side, Sally knows her stuff. She is an experienced designer and has many good ideas. On the con side, she doesn't listen to the client and is very aggressive in pushing her ideas. I also found that her opinions on specific design elements were not always based in fact, but simply to support her ideas about what my kitchen should be like. She also seemed to think that my need to read product reviews and select appliances based upon practical features and favorable Consumer Reports reviews was a waste of time and that the only thing that mattered was the look of the product. My kitchen looks great and Sally had some great layout ideas I would not have come up with, and for that I'm grateful, but next time I'll work with someone who listens more and opines a bit less.

Sally and her team were amazing to work with and transformed our itsy bitsy vintage (out of date)…read morecondo into the relaxing, more luxurious and much more functional home that we were looking for. Sally made it super easy to make selections on everything from cabinetry to appliances to rugs on the floor. She went above and beyond accommodating my busy schedule and added every extra touch I imagined. She blended comfort and style to create a showcase unit reflecting our persnalities. Her service was unbelievable, even coming to my rescue helping coordinate and organize the contractors and subcontractors when we had a flood a few months prior to the birth of our daughter!!! I would highly recommend Sally to anyone looking to hire a designer who really listens to her clients and delivers in every way.

We had a great set of contractors who "cleaned up our older home" in preparation for sale. It…read morelooked good empty. But Pam came into the home, took a look around and came back with multiple rooms of furnishings that took our home from good enough to "Wow". She literally put the exclamation point on all the hard work all the other contractors had done. Pam fully understood what our realtor wanted to achieve during the open house. She made the rooms appear spacious while simultaneously she showed the potential new buyers what could be done with the home. Lastly, Pam was on time, worked without needing supervision, removed her furnishings when the house was sold and accepted/incorporated some of our ideas as well. Her price was reasonable and we sold our home for well over the asking price which made her fees seem very reasonable. My wife and I both agree we would work with her again, anytime.

Pam did a great job staging my listing! I received many…read morecompliments! Thank you Pam! Daniel Palazzo

We were first-time home buyers apprehensive about the prospect of entering the bay area real estate…read moremarket and are beyond glad we found Linda! She is the type of goal-oriented, strategic, communicative realtor you want on your side in a competitive market. During our first meeting, she asked us a few questions, advised us on potential neighborhoods based on our budget, and planned our first ride along. You can immediately tell she will take your search seriously and work hard until you find a home that works for you within your budget. She is a clear communicator, super responsive by email/text/phone, direct, goal-oriented, and knowledgeable about the area. When we finally found a place we liked, Linda helped us coordinate inspections and assemble a competitive offer (and counter offer). We got the first home we put an offer in for! I can't recommend Linda highly enough - she is the best!

Linda Khoury is quite simply the best real estate agent ever. She was there for me from the moment…read moreI began to look for a place until well after closing. Throughout that time, she proved herself to be reliable, knowledgeable and kind--all this while expecting her first baby! Linda really cares about her clients and holds their interest at heart every step of the way. She is patient, personable, and professional with a wonderful personality and a big heart. As a first time home buyer, I was a bit apprehensive about the process of home ownership but Linda was there to guide me through every step--making the process not just easier but quite pleasant and exciting. I highly recommend Linda without reservation. She will never let you down and will work tirelessly to ensure that you will find the home of your dreams.

I will go to Karen any time I need staging without needing to look elsewhere. She's the one!
