Sample wood
Lance H.

I'm giving this place 5 stars just because it was an experience not to be forgotten. My wife found this place on the Internet looking for hardwood. She made an appointment for us to come take a look. We were expecting a commercial milling property. I had visions of a show room showing things off. Instead, we arrived at an old house on 3 acres next to some rolling green hills. Behind the house are a few wood shops/garages, sheds and lots of piles of stacked hardwood. It was quite the site. The owner, Jim Baker, toured us around and peppered us with jokes about how "this one cost more because of the cracks". We spent several hours there looking at boards until we found the one we chose. For a reasonable fee, they planed it and made a few cuts for us so we could take it home that day. This place could probably use some more organization and business processes, but I think Jim is happy with just keeping it a simple business with his wife. That said, Baker Milling gets orders from wealthy individuals and corporations looking for large pieces of hardwood for a unique looking table or desk. We appreciate their friendliness and service and would recommend them.

Jim was a great help. He is such a pleasure. I will definitely go back. He cut large pieces of wood and we used his planer.

Bullnose Tile - Morgan Hill

Bullnose Tile - Morgan Hill

(18 reviews)

I've been a loyal Bullnose customer for many years--my first project with them was back in 2013…read more Over the years, I've completed numerous remodels, and no matter how many other tile stores I explore, I always find myself coming back to Bullnose. Their customer service has consistently been exceptional. Every team member I've worked with has been friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely invested in helping me find the right materials for my projects. It's rare to find a company that maintains such a high level of service year after year. I also love how much they've grown. Their expanded inventory offers so many beautiful options, and their new Morgan Hill location is fantastic and much more convenient for me. I've remodeled two bathrooms in the past year, and the Morgan Hill team was outstanding throughout both projects. Anthony, in particular, was incredible during my most recent remodel. He took the time to understand the look I was going for, offered thoughtful recommendations, and never made me feel rushed while selecting materials. Thanks to his guidance, I absolutely love how my bathroom turned out. I truly can't say enough good things about Bullnose. If you're looking for quality materials backed by exceptional customer service, this is the place to go. I highly recommend them and will continue coming back for every future project.

Special shout out to Maria (who never rolled her eyes even once even as we flitted from one idea to another) who was very helpful. So knowledgeable and personable.

Cliff Pilcher was the rep that came for the consultation with the contractor. We found him challenging to work with as he markets a specific type of insulation that we did not want, Certainteed (lots of consumer complaints about the odor). He agreed to our alternative choice. But when we came to vist the remodel, Certainteed insulation was being installed. This had to be removed. Personality challenges aside, the quality of work is poor. The installation of the insulation in the attic blocked gable and eave vents. The result was excessive temperatures in the attic that we only discovered after a home security professional brought down a hot to touch transformer. When we ascended the attic stairs, we were hit with heat. A thermal image in the attic showed excessive heat as well. In other words, had we not checked the attic, our new HVAC system and other transformers would have been subjected to heat levels that would have damaged $75,000 in equipment. The crawl space insulation installation laso was poor; vents blocked, poor installation.

We had insulation blown-in to our 1960 home's un-insulated exterior walls. Coast was quick to come…read moreout and give a very reasonable estimate. Both the estimator and installer were very knowledgeable. Once we were ready to sign Work agreement, they were able to come out the next day. I was super happy with the friendliness and the care that was taken to do the job properly. Today is 100 degrees and the sun is blazing, but we are cool as cucumbers. Our west-facing walls that used to be hot to the touch in late afternoon are now cool. I also can't wait to benefit from lower heating bills this winter!

My husband and I went to U-Save Rockery in Morgan Hill yesterday to pick out rocks for place…read moresettings for our son's upcoming wedding. We've purchased rocks here for several of my rock-painting projects over the years, and we've always had a great experience, but yesterday's visit really stood out. When we first arrived, the gentleman in charge at the front was incredibly kind and patient. I didn't catch his name, but he took the time to explain exactly where we needed to go, how to select the rocks, and what we needed to do. He was so helpful and made the whole process easy. Once we got to the rock area, another gentleman with a mustache, who was operating one of the machines, came over and asked if we would like him to mix up the rocks so we could see some of the ones underneath. We said yes, and he took the time to do it for us. He absolutely did not have to, but because he did, we were able to find some much better rocks for our project! He then went a step further and showed us another area where there was a hose so we could wet the rocks and see their beautiful natural colors. That was such a helpful suggestion, especially since we were looking for specific rocks that we could paint and use as personalized wedding place settings. It may seem like a small thing, but those little moments of patience, helpfulness, and genuine customer service made such a difference to us. We were there for a special project, and these two gentlemen made the experience even more enjoyable. I've gotten rocks from U-Save Rockery for many different painting projects over the years, but this visit was especially memorable. Thank you, U-Save Rockery, for having employees who take the time to help customers and who are willing to go the extra mile. We truly appreciate you and wanted to make sure your wonderful customer service was recognized!

This place has top notch materials and they're not a discount house, you pay for the quality …read more.. fair enough. My problem with them is they play games with their pallet deposit and return policy. I understand a $40 pallet deposit, the ensures them they're be getting them back. Their game begins with only giving back $25 on the $40. They're gaming their clients $15 for buying their products. That's $15 per pallet. Apparently the way the manager explained it to me was that's what they have to pay from their supplier, so they're simply passing the costs onto us. Ruffled feathers but I'm playing their game because I use their products. Then when we return the pallets we need to provide proof of purchase or they will not give credit. Most contractors have tons of projects and during said projects, the pallets gets stacked and stored and then eventually they get loaded onto the truck and returned to Peninsula. I returned 4 pallets but my credit card only showed 1 pallet from 1 job. So I got $25 back for now until I go back to my office, research the job dates, go to my bank records to provide credit card # then contact them to get proper credit. So as it stands now, I'm out $75. Is it worth my time and effort to dig up proof of purchase in order to satisfy them? I think not. I feel like Peninsula should grow up and treat their customers with simple respect. I'm their client, I have clients, in 40 years of business I have never asked a client to dig up old bank records to prove they've paid, ot to "verify" they've paid. Okay, now what? Return to the store to reclaim my pallets? They're damn good strong high quality pallets, might be usefull in the yard. In the future, beware, or be aware, they play the pallet game and this location... not all locations. In closing, nice job Peninsula for pissing off a client, even if youre going by the book, good job of increasing your profits by accepting pallets that youre not reimburing.

The Peninsula Building staff was great. What I thought was particularly awesome was that the staff guy talked to me and my husband. Usually construction folks only talk to my husband, which is funny because I am a licensed civil engineer and he does film. I really appreciated it!! :) P.S. It usually takes 24 hours from the time you get a PO at PBM and your order to be ready at Calstone, so plan ahead if you can!
