Andrea has been a godsend for my practice and my home. Andrea has been highly instrumental in the…read morecolor design of the interior of my previous office as well as both the exterior and interior of my current office. My wife and I used Andrea to help pick colors for our bathroom at our home as well. While I am not color blind, I do think of myself as color illiterate. I am constantly amazed at what Andrea can do with a fan deck of colors, how she can deftly skim through and find colors that work so well together to get to the desired effect. Beyond color selection, Andrea has done murals for my offices as well as faux finishing that has to be seen to believed. She even made some architectural recommendations for improving the look of the lighting in my reception area as well as trim work for my office exterior. I have been very grateful for all of the work Andrea has done for me as well as holding my hand through the occasional crisis of color. I highly recommend Andrea's work with absolutely no reservations.

We are a business with headquarters in Novato and we were looking for someone to paint a mural and…read moregive us a color consultation for our conference room. Ran into Andrea Oreck's booth at the Home Show at the Santa Rosa Fairgrounds and grabbed a brochure. We had been looking at what other artists have to offer in the bay area, and while we saw some beautiful art, nothing compared to Andrea's for the look we wanted to achieve. Andrea is a consummate professional. She stared by talking about some ideas of the design we wanted and she picked the carpet for us around that. It was something we may not have considered ourselves but is a perfect choice now. She brought in help and had the room painted, even the baseboards, adding a nice faux finish. We supplied pictures of what we were looking for and she asked a lot of questions, coming up with several choices for us to pick from. She committed to times around our room's schedule and created a truly amazing piece of art. It was coming along so nicely, we asked her to design the wall across from it. We are posting pictures of the beautiful Ka'anapali Maui wall and the second, which is the road to Hana. This room now has the power to relax people in a meeting, but also keeps them alert feeling like you are actually at the beach. If you need any color consulting or murals painted, no need to look around. You can't get better than this.

Julia is absolutely amazing!

They are actually one of a kind show pieces! From fabric choice to fabrication and her suggestion of nailhead trim she really hit a home run! It was worth every penny to extend her services and have her advise me on furniture choices and placement, everything down to the details of where to place nicknacks and books. Her insight really helped transform my house into a home while taking advantage of using things I already had! I love my home....Thank You Julia!

I was trying to match colors with furniture and carpets and have it flow throughout the house....unsuccessfully. In came Julia and it all came together without a hitch! Julia helped me choose new blinds for my kitchen/dining area, she found the fabric (which I love) and designed a valance that was within my price range and looks great. She's currently making me two pillows out of my valance material. I can't wait to have a dinner party to show off the new changes to my home. Julia not only knows her stuff, she is fun! I would definitely recommend her and should the need ever arise again for an interior decorator, I would call her without hesitation.

Friendly, professional, and respectful of one's property. Highly recommended.

I interviewed more than 5 other firms and they were standouts even then. First response had to manage through weather delays, roofing delays and a PIA owner (me!) they over delivered.

First came heat pumps and an EV. Having our solar system installed was the last step in our…read moretransition to becoming an electric home with its own power source. Along the way we had plenty of time to research rooftop solar and local contractors. First Response Solar stood out from the very beginning. It was clear that they understood why they used each piece of hardware and how these pieces related to each other and to our needs. We chose them over three other proposals and could not be happier! In addition to doing top notch workmanship, Chaz and Dylan are easy to work with. Our system performs exactly as they had described it to us. Obviously it is a big step to invest in a solar roof and we feel that we now have a system that is well designed, perfectly installed and fully operational. We cannot recommend First Response Solar highly enough.
