I…read morewanted to update my kitchen to make it brighter and fit in with the style of the rest of the house but needed help with what to do. Shawn took a look around, listened to what I had in mind, and thankfully told me what would or wouldn't work. He picked a beautiful quartz counter top, gave me options to choose from for the paint, faucet and hardware. He has a great team working for him. They were respectful and trustworthy. The refinished cabinets look like new. They do high quality work. He made his best effort to get things done within the time frame discussed but, as with any renovation, there were some unexpected issues that led to minor delays and affected cost. I really appreciated how his main concern was that I was happy with the end result. Before and in process photos attached (forgot to take a picture of the final product and don't want to clean the kitchen right now).

4.5 stars We did a…read morefull kitchen remodel soon after moving into our new home (before we got too settled). Due to unusual circumstances, we had a very tight timeline (see below for more details) so they were able to finish in 2 1/2 months. Overall, we are very happy with the end result and love our new, open layout! TL:DR version: - GREAT construction team/vendors and Fadil is the BEST project manager. Also the flooring contractor, Izec, is amazing. - Loved the design recommendations made by Shawn, like the floating shelves and bench by the window. - Pricing is competitive. Quality of work is fantastic. Designs are beautiful. - Area of improvement: better communication throughout the project. I had to be proactive and ask a lot of questions and follow up often. They offer both design and construction services, all under the same owner. This was convenient in that I only had to deal with one company and they took care of everything. Our project was unusual in that I was 6 months pregnant when we started the project. Typically, they don't start on construction until all materials are in stock but we needed to get things moving and completed quickly, so we ordered mostly standard sized and in-stock materials. The owner, Shawn, kept his promise on adhering to our timeline to the best of his ability, even as we ran into challenges with plumbing, structural, and electrical. His team worked tirelessly--even on weekends--to meet our deadline, without sacrificing quality or details. With any major construction, nothing is flawless. The one challenge I had, which may be unique to my circumstance, was getting proactive updates and just overall communication. At times, the construction team didn't even know what they were working on. Some of the designs didn't match the materials ordered. There was some miscommunication on which materials we were responsible for vs. what they would get for us. These were minor issues that eventually got resolved but it did cause me some stress and unrest. Highly recommend being proactive, with any big construction project, and staying close to the details... At the end of the day, despite some bumps, we now have our dream kitchen! And it was completed in record time! Last but not least, if you're told that any materials are "stuck" at the Oakland port, GET SOMETHING ELSE that's in stock. There is no ETA on when things will get unloaded at the dock...could be weeks or even months.

We had the pleasure of working with Jill Finn of TANGERINEdesign LLC when our longtime designer was…read moreunavailable -- so she walked into a situation where we were already feeling a bit off balance. But from day one, Jill exceeded our expectations. The project involved tearing down an old, dilapidated screened-in porch that had never really worked for us -- too cold in the winter, too hot in the summer -- and transforming it into a usable interior room. We wanted to keep the light and airy feel of a porch while gaining insulation, comfort, and year-round usability. We also wanted ideas for built-ins: maybe a window seat, maybe bookshelves -- we weren't quite sure. Other contractors over the years had taken one look at the porch and declined to get involved due to its age and condition. Not Jill. She had ideas right away. Jill brings so much energy, creativity, and practical knowledge to the table. Even while juggling big personal commitments (like her son's graduation across the country), she delivered several strong design ideas within a few weeks -- and they were fresh, inspiring, and budget-conscious. She collaborated easily with our civil engineer, adjusting her drawings quickly to meet his needs. She also understands our local codes and regulations really well, and met directly with our contractors to make sure her designs were realistic and executable before we got too far into the process. On top of all that, Jill has a fantastic personality. She made the experience fun and engaging, and she brought a sense of momentum and confidence that really helped us move forward. I can't recommend Jill highly enough -- her creativity, responsiveness, and enthusiasm make her a true gem. If you're considering working with TANGERINEdesign LLC, you're in excellent hands.

We were glad that we chose Jill; she brings with her a wealth of knowledge in all facets of the construction phase, and she was very friendly and easy to talk to also! Most of the time we would ask her a question, then just let her talk, as she was very detailed with all of her answers and did a great job teaching. We also appreciated that Jill also has no problem telling you if your idea is a bad idea, but will provide the context and reasoning why. Lastly, we loved tapping her creative mind; she has the ability to look at a space and give you plenty of ideas for it that you might not have even thought of! We would definitely recommend her and would work with her again.

If I could give a 10, I would. I recently sold my Mothers Condo in Emeryville in Watergate. This…read morewas my second experience with Signe. Over a decade ago I worked with Signe to stage our Alamo home to sell. Signe really helped us give it the WOW factor and we sold in a down market at asking price. When it came time to sell the Emeryville Condo I called Signe immediately. Signe has the gift of adding the "this is what I want to live in" factor. She came out and walked the unit, gave me a very fair price, was so easy to work with, She got the staging done quickly for us to go on the market and was very careful in bringing the furniture in not to do any damage. Signe is a true artist, the furniture, placement, art, and accessories highlighted the features of the condo. One thing you can't really see in the photos of the staging is Signe's amzing use of textures. Every element featured textures to add richness and warmth. The condo sold to one of the first showings in less than 4 days and the staging was so fabulous the buyers asked to be put in contact with Signe so they could purchase some of the staging furniture! Signe is so very easy to work with, she takes sellers requests into consideration in the staging she does and stays current on trends and what the market is doing to help sellers get to SOLD. Hire SIgne for your staging needs, you won't regret it. Last added thing Signes team also patches and nail holes in the walls after de-staging which was a huge bonus for me that I didnt have to go in and do that.

We had some unique logistical issues which felt overwhelming to us, but Shandrika guided us through with ease. She recommended some minor updates to the home, researched costs with vendors, and coordinated workers. She monitored the updates to make sure the results were as expected. She also staged the home beautifully. Shandrika provided support above and beyond our expectations. She was professional and reliable promptly answering all calls, emails and texts and she kept us updated at every stage. Shandrika's positive approach was evident when we received a very strong offer before we even got the house on the market. If you are looking for an outstanding realtor, we would highly recommend Shandrika for her invaluable real estate, decorating and staging knowledge along with her outstanding communication skills, professionalism and unwavering support.

I also really appreciate how flexible and approachable she is. You can use her as much or as little as you want on an hourly basis, which is such a refreshing option when so many interior design services can feel overwhelming or out of budget. So far she has helped us choose new flooring, paint colors, furniture layout, and a new sofa, and we've genuinely been so happy with every decision. She's professional, responsive, fair, and really cares about making your home feel right for you. She also brings such a fun, positive energy to the process. I'm so excited to continue transforming the rest of our home with her help. Highly recommend!

I purchased a…read moreCalligaris table with a custom top and legs which was being shipped with white glove delivery to a home in the mountains in Utah. When it arrived the ceramic top was damaged so I was told to not accept it and Ken located another one with the right combination of top and legs. When that arrived, it also had been damaged in shipping and Ken said to reject it and he found another one- same problem. I guess the porcelain tops are very fragile and require more delicate handling. Ken never gave up in the quest to deliver the perfect table I had ordered and was communicative and proactive throughout the ongoing issues never complaining once. They just delivered the 4th table which arrived in perfect condition and I couldn't be happier. I've never had such a positive experience from what was ostensibly a terrible one. Calligaris had discontined the combination I originally ordered in the meantime, but Ken persisted in getting that original combination shipped from Italy. Ken, thanks for your persistence, patience and follow-through. I can not recommend you and your store more highly!!
