They 'forgot' to deliver our city and title fees when we closed escrow. When we reached out to get…read morethis fixed, they gave us the runaround for nearly 4 months while we were delinquent on the payment (and a looming threat of a lien on the house). We worked specifically with Cristina and while initially responsive, we started getting a lot of "we asked our Accounting team" with no sense of urgency. We've been extremely patient with them, followed up with them once a week (to which we just got the response "I've forwarded this to the Accounting team"). She then gave us the name and number to their Accounting department (after, literally, 4 months) to work with them directly. They've stated that they accept full ownership of the mistake and have dragged their feet to fix it. This has been a total nightmare for us and I wouldn't wish this on anyone else. It sounds like the office has made similar mistakes across the board. Do yourself a favor and find literally anyone else.

I canceled because the fee is not worth the services provided: 1. I don't get access to all of the EBRHA lease forms (only a starter kit) even for the $249 fee and I can basically get the forms I need from Nolo and the City of Oakland at a low price or free. 2. I got bombarded by repetitive emails on EBRHA webinars/events (a couple of emails is sufficient per event). 3. I attended one EBRHA webinar and it was really for people who haven't researched the basics (things you can read in a Nolo book) rather than special insights. The key webinars are done by the City of Oakland and they're free. 4. The City's eviction moratorium and rental assistance issues have obviously been problematic for Oakland landlords but I haven't really seen useful info from EBRHA on this (i.e. how is EBRHA lobbying on this?, what can landlords do to lobby the City?, when is it estimated that the City will remove the moratorium given that basically all other COVID restrictions are being removed?).

I recently had the pleasure of working with SRS for an Asphalt Shingle Full-Roof Restoration on my…read morehome, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Instead of opting for a costly full replacement, this innovative service revitalized my existing roof to a condition that's remarkably close to brand new, all at a fraction of the price and with significantly lower environmental impact--saving tons of waste from ending up in landfills. Kasra didn't stop there; they spotted some deferred maintenance issues on the building's exterior, handled them efficiently, and even offered valuable insights into potential interior problems that could have escalated if ignored. The substantial savings from the restoration made it easy and affordable to address those additional items without breaking the bank. Throughout the process, communication with Kasra was straightforward, reasonable, and crystal clear--everything happened exactly as promised, with no surprises. We're already planning our next project with SRS to service or replace our old, leaking Velux skylights. Overall, I'm satisfied with the exceptional service and have developed intention to befriend Kasra over some drinks some day. I highly recommend Sustainable Roofing Solutions to anyone looking for top-notch, eco-friendly roof solutions--they deliver quality and communication and the exceptional knowledge to understand the ins and outs of any repair. I highly recommend looking at the SRS website to get a sense of their process, services offered and what others think of the results.

We spoke of different things but inevitably our conversation led straight back to the seemingly mundane topic of roofs. In 2006 Kasra and his crew fully restored my 18-year-old shake roof in Alameda. Many of the neighbors had already started reroofing at that point. No other work was done to the roof until the house was sold in 2019. Between 2006 when SRS fully restored the roof and 2019 when the house was sold, I never experienced any problems or leaks. The roof passed inspection before the sale in 2019 without needing any remediation. Astonishing! Sustainable Roofing Solutions quality, attention to detail, value, customer service and concern for environmental impact make them an excellent choice for anyone.

Even with those services included, our rent is very reasonable. Robert has been responsive to all our needs, including having our heater fixed for us on Thanksgiving Day. We are good tenants, and responsible, but honestly, it makes a huge difference to have a great property manager. It gives us a huge sense security for ourselves and our family.
