Over the past five years, we've worked with the Scale Collective on three major projects, and…read morecouldn't be happier with the results. Sara served as the lead experiential designer for a pop-up interactive art gallery for children and our Oakland-based preschool, as well as selected the furniture program for several areas of our residence, most notably the outdoor dining and lounge area. The Scale Collective impressed us with their creativity, knowledge of contemporary art and design, and enthusiasm for the craft. The preschool is now a vibrant, engaging space that captivates both children and adults. The interactive elements and thoughtful design make it a truly unique experience. At our residence, Sara transformed our outdoor dining and lounge area into luxurious, yet comfortable spaces perfect for entertaining and relaxing. The design seamlessly blends with the natural surroundings, creating an inviting atmosphere that we and our guests adore. Their use of materials and furniture was spot on, making the space both functional and beautiful. We will enjoy all these spaces for years to come!

Great taste! Furniture, color palette, fixtures, hardware etc. Sara's taste is amazing.read more

This is my second time around with Clean Solar, and they are just as stellar as the first time, if…read morenot better and more efficient. We needed to add panels because we purchase an EV and needed more solar to offset PG&E. The impeccable experience started with Art the consultant, he gave 4 scenarios and explained in detail what each means and provided detail report including all the tech details and break even timing. To be honest, it was too much for me, I really just wanted pricing and how long it takes to install haha but was good to know he has such knowledge and I was confident he is looking out for my best interest. Then we had Patrick the PM, arrived for site inspection on time and courteous and explained the whole process. Then come the impressive installation team Luis, Alberto and Kevin. The 3 arrived on time and with smiles, just overall a great vibe from them. Luis walked me through the installation plan and gave a few choices taking into consideration aesthetics of the house and then got to work. 4 hours later, clean line, fine craftsmanship and symmetrical matching placement from last system is in place and ready to tangle with PG&E (attaching some photos) I really really can't recommend any higher to go with Clean Solar on your solar projects. Seamless is what you'll experience with them. Until next time Clean Solar!

**Update: Carl contacted us to apologize for the few negative experiences and they will definitely…read moretake our feedback seriously and will address and improve these issues. Btw I was going to bump this review to a 4 but working with Nick we decided on 5.** We had a complicated full house renovation this year and signed with Clean Solar for either the Tesla tiles or solar panels and we ended up choosing solar panels + Tesla power walls. I want to give special thanks (and the only reason why I didn't give a 0 star) and appreciation to the members listed as they deserved beyond 5 stars Bill, Nick, Jeremy, Rodger, Louis, Kevin, Albert, Alberto, Carl (CEO). Bill was amazing and helpful in explaining the process and helping us secure the initial funding. You are probably wondering why I am giving this solar company a 3 star. Well it takes 1 bad apple to ruin a team and this is the case. A three day project ended up taking 3+ weeks & we understand that the workload is extremely busy this time of year. However when 1 person is acting unprofessional, crossing the line, asking homeowners to borrow a usb cable to charge their cell phone, super loud, tries to impress (why), doesn't listen to clients (would walk away in mid conversation), act as if he is the owner of the company, talks way too much (not in a good way), talking about his side hustle business, a bit juvenile, not completing and complaining about the job in front of clients plus not showing up when he said he would to complete the job, leaving tools at the site and asking the homeowners to put it in their garage until he returns to pick it up, calls in sick last minute leaving the load to other team members plus more well then this becomes a problem and 0 stars (if possible) especially the amount of money you invest into this project. We also requested that this person not show up again but they kept sending him back. At the end of the project half of the Tesla walls were connected and working but the other half wasn't connecting. At one point our bedrooms electricity didn't work, it wasn't the breakers and Nick was awesome enough to take our after hours call and help us manually override those other 2 disconnected wall panels. The dream team (Nick, Kevin and Albert) resolved the connection and all is working now. Also, Nick stayed late to make sure our Tesla walls were configured and updated properly. Plus , a shout out to Jeremy for staying late as well to help fix a broken issue. Feedback: Organize a team that works well together to effectively complete the project. Provide sexual harassment training (this is excluding people listed here). If a female client doesn't feel comfortable with a person don't resend them back. Also if a homeowner (regardless of being the wife) calls and leaves a message please out of courtesy call back after all I am the client, work and pay the bills too (even though this is my husband's project).

We got our front yard and backyard landscaping done with 'Dreamscape Design and Build'. Manuel…read moreruns this company very professionally and he is very understanding and easy to work with. He has team of skilled professionals. During our project execution few notable highlights that I would like to give for folks who are thinking of having landscaping or other services this company provides, very useful. First of all Manuel and his team, very hardworking, knowledgable and helpful. They know how to work with customer, understand their needs and help them. Once project started, they finished it well within time and budget. They show up each and every day (sometime including weekends) on time and worked late to keep up the schedule. (which was big deal for us). This team was also very open to new ideas and how they can be implemented to add value to the landscaping work that we were doing. This team does not take any shortcuts in quality and quantity of work, their workmanship on display is at best and can be compared with big companies who charge hefty for the same amount of work. Me and my family are very happy with the Dreamscape Design and build company and thankful for its entire team for such a wonderful job they have done at out place to convert almost unusable space into oasis that me and my family can enjoy for long time. I would most certainly recommend 'Dreamscape Design and Build' for anyone availing their services.

I am extremely impressed with the professionalism and quality of work that Art and his crew…read moredelivered on our new floors. The project included our entry hallway, kitchen, living room, and dining room. They moved all the furniture, carefully protected everything, then removed the carpet, linoleum, tile, baseboards, and even the dishwasher. After leveling and prepping the subfloors, they installed SPC flooring and new painted baseboards throughout--all completed in just three days. Everything looks absolutely fantastic. Art is a pleasure to work with, his craftsmanship is top-notch, and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for excellent flooring work.

The moisture was pretty extensive under the house, and required a remediation company to come out and dry out the soil and exhaust under the house. Art was recommended by our previous flooring contractor who had "semi-retired". We gave Art a call and he responded quickly and came out to have a look about a month after the remediation company completed their work. He took some humidity/moisture readings of the floors throughout the house and recommended we give the floors another 30 days to further dry out, and he provided us with a quote to sand and refinish the entire 1st floor of our home (about 1100 sq ft). Art and his crew arrived on the specified start date right on time. They helped move out the final heavy pieces of furniture into a storage Pod out front and got to work right away. The floors took only 3 days to sand and refinish and they came out looking beautiful! They even replaced a few termite damaged pieces, and replaced 3 old metal heater registers with new oak to match the floors. I can't say enough about the professionalism and quality of the work from Art and his team. Willow Glen Floor Company will be my "go to" for any flooring needs going forward. Highest recommendation!
