5-Star Review - Guerneville True Value Hardware…read more Guerneville True Value on River Road is hands-down one of the best hardware stores around. Robert, the owner, runs an outstanding operation, and employees like Gavin truly go above and beyond for their customers. Whether you walk in with a quick question or a complicated project, they treat you like family and make sure you leave with exactly what you need. One thing I really appreciate is their text-based communication system. You can easily text them with questions, check product availability, or get help locating specific items. Pair that with their phone support and you've got an incredibly responsive team that makes home projects so much easier. Their prices are fantastic, and it's a huge plus not having to drive to a big-box store. This place has everything you need, and the level of service is unbeatable. I absolutely love this store and can't recommend it enough!

The timing changed because the first fabric she received was flawed. She dealt with the problem and kept us updated about the process.

Liz is meticulous and it shows in the end result. She made slipcovers for two chairs and I did not want the "shabby chic" look. I am so pleased with the result. See for yourself in attached photo how fitted they look. I have been in the decorating business and would not hesitate to recommend Liz to clients. Not only is she skilled with great attention to detail, she is also kind, considerate, and engaging to talk with. If I didn't have her to my home to make me slip covers, I could easily have had her over for coffee and had a great conversation!

After 34 years of faithful service, our Subzero refrigerator and freezer recently needed to be…read morereplaced. I stopped by Tee Vax to look at the new Subzero models they had available. I was fortunate enough to meet Richard Landen while I was there. Richard was very knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful. I told Richard I needed to discuss a few of the model options with my wife, and I'd call him with a decision within a week. I phoned Richard a few days later, and told him which model Subzero we wanted to order. He couldn't have made the whole purchase any easier. Richard emailed me the receipt, and told me the new Subzero would be available for pickup in a few days. Richard was kind enough to inform me that if I selected a certified installer Subzero adds an extra year to the warranty! So I figured I had better do just that, and I went with Top Tier Appliance Installations which is owned by John Yeager. If there was ever an appropriately named business, it's John's business! John and his crew really were top tier! From keeping me apprised of their arrival time to protecting my floors removing the old SubZero, to being diligent as they carefully lugged these 800 pound machines (both the old Subzero and the new Subzero) up and down my stairs without damaging my home! The installation job they did on my new Subzero was spectacular! I would highly recommend John and his team without reservation! I'm a very particular guy, and John and his team are definitely welcome back in my home anytime. Going forward, anytime I need new appliances, I will be calling Richard at Tee Vax to buy them, and John at Top Tier Appliance Installations to install them!

I've bought numerous pieces of furniture from Sonoma Furniture over the years, and I've always had…read morea great experience. They're competitively priced, their selection is excellent, and the service is truly exceptional. It's so hard to find that kind of kindness and professionalism these days, and Sonoma Furniture is one of the few businesses I've found that really excels in every area. They're a local family business, and I always feel good supporting them instead of spending money at big chains. Businesses like this are exactly why shopping local matters. One thing that really stood out to me: I bought a chair online from a different manufacturer that Sonoma Furniture doesn't even carry, and the manufacturer sent me a taller replacement cylinder for it. I didn't want to hire a handyman because I wanted someone who actually knows furniture to do it properly, so I asked if they could help. I even offered to pay, but Kirk, the owner, replaced it for me as a favor. That kind of generosity and customer care is incredibly rare. They are genuinely wonderful people, and I couldn't recommend them more highly.

While researching companies to update our kitchen we called North County Kitchens. We spoke with…read morethe owner who was polite enough on the phone and scheduled a time for him to come to our house to discuss what we wanted and for him to take measurements. The appointment was at 1:30 and I finally called him at 2:20 as he didn't show up or call! He had some lame excuse for not receiving the alert he made on his phone. He asked if he could come right over and we figured we would give him a chance. He is very talkative, mostly telling us what he wanted to do instead of listening to what we wanted. He was adamant about refacing our cabinets even after we clearly said we did NOT want that option. He claims to be a cabinet maker so he finally took the measurements and discussed some basic details. As he was leaving he apologized again for being late and even stated he would "make up for it with his quote"...that was on 3/13 and we have never heard from him. We are grateful we found out his work ethic before we hired him, and thankfully have hired another company that has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Do your homework and save yourself the trouble by just scrolling past his website- there are quality companies out there.

After years of…read moreprocrastination, we were awed by two kitchen remodels Andrew completed with high personal recommendations, we knew we found the right guy. My husband and I are very particular and detail oriented and Andrew listened to our wants and offered ideas resulting in a kitchen that surpassed our expectations. His wood working skills are spectacular. We opted not to change the footprint of our kitchen but removed a cooktop, double oven and built in desk, adding a range, built in microwave and additional cabinetry. The cabinet additions are a perfect, seamless blend. I love our doors and drawers, REAL WOOD not veneer! Andrew used samples of our existing flooring, new backsplash and countertop to formulate a stain and glazing that's just exquisite. The addition of the soft close and foot pedal for the trash is icing on the cake. To tie the kitchen and family room together, he also built a mantel and hearth surround for our fireplace with the same stain and details as our cabinetry... just exquisite! We (including our Great Pyrenees) loved having Andrew working in our home. He's honest, knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor and took the stress out of our remodel. I would highly recommend North County Kitchens.
