Jennie has helped us completely gut a family room and a bathroom over the last few years. I had my ideas for function that she helped me to realize by working them into the space perfectly. I' recently hired her to come over and just talk through some work we were doing on our own - small kids' room update and she saved me money by talking me through a few expensive mistakes I might have made, based on my initial ideas - and she simplified the project, which made my husband happy too!

Recently I found myself in the middle of an unplanned remodel of an older-style duplex unit after a tenant's unexpected marriage and exit. I didn't know where to begin: what materials and design would offer the widest appeal and durability, but still be budget friendly. I discovered Jennie on Facebook, and after reading up on her here at Yelp, decided to give her a try. Am I glad I did! She was punctual, respected my goals, and helped me avoid what would have been costly and unnecessary mistakes. At the same time, she brought potential problem areas to my attention early (such as an odd sized oven and what to do about replacing it) so I wouldn't be caught by surprise later. She referred me to some great source stores for materials I would need, and suggested coordinating colors to achieve the look I was going for in the kitchen and throughout the house. She also had great referrals for contractors of various sorts to implement the work, but I went with my own guys. My unit is starting to look so good I'd be happy to move into it myself! Thanks Jennie, for improving my property and the living experience of my next tenant - and for keeping it all affordable (which adds to *my* living experience!). You're worth your weight in gold.

Title: I can't say enough positive things about Magdalena and her team…read moreI was referred to European Marble Style by a stone and tile showroom after vetting 4-6 different stone fabricators in the Bay Area. Magdalena and Fernando really stood out to me because of their honesty, professionalism, and transparency. We had what I considered a pretty large project: four slabs and a difficult setup that required everything to fit beautifully for something that was, frankly, a pretty significant investment. Magdalena was incredibly helpful and quick to respond to all of my questions via text. She provided multiple quotes as we worked our way toward our budget, and she even sent Fernando out to make sure this was a project they could realistically complete. If you have any doubts about who to work with for stone fabrication in the Bay Area, I can confidently say European Marble Style is an excellent choice. Other places I spoke with felt pushy and weren't nearly as transparent about the process. Magdalena, on the other hand, invited me into the shop so I could properly see the cut setup and design for myself. She also has wonderful taste in dogs, which, as you know, means that if dogs love you, you're 1000% a good person. One of the things I appreciated most about Magdalena was her honesty. She was upfront about how many slabs we would need, what could potentially cost extra, how long things would take, their process, and their availability. Ultimately, I really wanted to work with her because I felt like I could trust her. And if you've ever been in the middle of a construction project, you know there are always delays, changes, and unexpected issues. I didn't encounter that with European Marble Style. They run a tight ship, communicate quickly, and answer questions promptly. Everything came out exactly as expected and within the timeframe we needed. Magdalena also handled multiple "I changed my mind" moments with incredible grace and kindness. And a few early-morning anxious calls. (I'M SORRY! ) I also have to give a huge thank-you to Fernando. He is extremely talented and hardworking. He even created a custom "glue" detail between the slabs and the wall so everything would blend together seamlessly. A real artist! I absolutely gush over our kitchen every time I see it. This review is long overdue because I was trying to get photos with all of the plumbing and finishing work completed, but I'm so happy I waited. The photos are a mixture of the finished work and details from the process. Thank you again to Magdalena, Fernando, and the entire European Marble Style team. I'm incredibly grateful for the care they put into our project.

I found East Bay Cabinets on Yelp, read favourable reviews and saw the photos posted here and on the website. A bonus was that the shop is less than two miles from our home. Hubby and I made an appointment with Vinny at his shop. After our initial meeting, we knew right then we wanted him to be part of our remodel. We put down a nominal deposit to get on his calendar. He had one or two projects ahead of us and it was a few months wait, but worth it. In the meantime, I did several drafts sketching and designing out my kitchen (yay for graph paper and coloured pencils!). So come Spring 2021, Vinny contacted us and we were pretty much ready. There were a few design issues he pointed out that we modified to be more practical. When it came to choosing the material, we opted for raw cherry. I had it in my head to do an oil finish for the cabinet and drawer fronts that would give it a particular look. Vinny is a true craftsman with an eye for detail. His workmanship is impeccable, exact and beautiful. He was very accommodating with the quirks of our appliance choices. We bought an integrated dishwasher and he was concerned the "knock" feature would not work through the wood (it worked perfectly). We also had a pipe chase behind the pantry cabinet so we could run a vent pipe from the furnace to the upstairs level, as well as a toe kick vacuum to sweep the floor (we installed a whole house system). He also had the challenge of installing into a house where ALL the walls are out of plumb, not a single right angle ANYWHERE. Marbles roll around on the floor but stay put on the countertops because the cabinets are dead nuts level. Vinny gives his full attention when he is on your project. I felt guilty bugging him with questions and learned to just text him or send all my questions in an email. It worked out better for us, better for him. He had great ideas that we incorporated while I countered with some crazy ones that we quickly put aside. It has pretty much a year since the install and I absolutely love my kitchen and how it is all (still!) coming together. I would highly recommend Vinny in a heartbeat. We have another project in mind and looking forward to working with him in the future.

We were looking into factory kitchen cabinets but discovered that using standard sizes for our 70…read moreyear old kitchen would require us to have our back door moved a few inches. The cost of moving the door was about as much as the price difference between factory and custom; and going custom really opened up a whole new level of options for materials, finishes and maximizing our space. We then considered one of those smaller custom cabinet factories in Oregon, but we wanted a local cabinetmaker who could see our project, make his own measurements, adjust the plans as things changed (and they did!), offer suggestions, and keep us from making any costly mistakes. It's also good to have a local cabinetmaker who can look at your finished walls before installation, with a fresh set of eyes, and validate that the walls are square and plumb, and all of the electrical, plumbing and ductwork are exactly where they should be. Vinny was one of only two cabinetmakers we'd visited, and I was sold; his shop was very clean and organized, his joinery was the tightest and cleanest that I've ever seen, his attention to detail is obvious with the spacing of every screw and nail, each project was neatly organized and sequestered from every other project, and his work combines decades of experience with the most modern and reliable hardware- like a servo operated trash and recycling drawer. Vinny was thorough and responsive with emails and estimates, his work was completed ahead of time and waiting for our other contractors to catch up. Vinny has probably built hundreds of kitchens over the years and has great instincts on what sort of kitchen would compliment the rest of your architecture and what's trendy vs what will give lasting value; he made great suggestions along the way which my wife sees with the clarity of hindsight as spot on. We also chose to have Vinny install our kitchen; the cabinets arrived wrapped in blankets and numbered, he is the most organized tradesman that I've ever worked with in 30 years- he arrived with everything he needed from the large tools right down to totes with all of the tiny hardware and even the smallest compressor I've ever seen for driving his tiny little finishing nails. Vinny prefers to do all of his most detailed work all by himself, methodically and with an unbroken train of thought, and I think this allows him to achieve a remarkable consistency that would be impossible if he delegated to a shop full of helpers. We've had the new kitchen for about 6 months now, and I'm still impressed with Vinny's work. The cherry cabinets have a clear finish that has a consistent luster, the grain is well matched from drawer to drawer, there's an iridescence/ chatoyance that shines through the grain as the sun makes its way across the kitchen; and beyond the aesthetics, I was impressed with the assembly of the cabinet boxes which were strong, rigid, and lined up perfectly. I've measured all cabinet doors and drawer fronts and all I could find is one door that may be a fraction of a millimeter wider than the other one. I'm also impressed that we have the drawers and pantry very heavily loaded but everything closes smoothly and gently. It's also worth mentioning, by contrast, that we did get a bathroom vanity from a small factory in Oregon- we couldn't go wrong in ordering a 48" vanity. We did save $500, but we had to assemble it ourselves, it required driving self tapping hardware into veneered flakeboard, all of the drawers and doors needed adjustment and tweaking, the drawer closing hardware seems a bit clunky, the wood grain isn't as well matched, and the finish just doesn't have the same luster, so we are of course all the happier that we went with Vinny for the kitchen!
