I cannot say enough wonderful things about Vintage Owl. Laurie and her team completely transformed…read moremy dull, dated early-90s bedroom furniture set into something that feels timeless, elevated, and absolutely beautiful. What was once heavy, yellowish, stained, scratched and tired is now a dreamy creamy light beige with the most gorgeous detailing. They thoughtfully retained and carefully cleaned the original hardware, which adds so much character and charm. The delicate veneer wood tops on the nightstands were expertly restained and now look rich and intentional rather than worn. Beyond the cosmetic transformation, their craftsmanship and service truly impressed me. They repaired broken dresser drawer tracks so everything functions smoothly again, and they even fixed an old light inside one of the drawers that hasn't worked in years. The entire set feels brand new while still honoring its original character. It's rare to find someone who combines artistry, attention to detail, and true restoration skill the way they do. If you're considering refinishing furniture instead of replacing it, this is your sign, and you will be absolutely thrilled with the result.

Laurie and Frankie worked to get it finished in a timely way in spite of the uncooperative weather, and delivered a quality job. I love the hardware we chose together, and am very happy with the result. So glad I used The Vintage Owl instead of replacing my cabinets-- they should last many more years.

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.

I cleaned out the underside thinking the built up of grass may have overpowered the engine. Well, needless to say I was pretty upset because this purchase hadn't paid for itself yet as it was two months new and just past the point when home depot wouldn't take it back. I was told I had to take it to a manufacturer approved repair facility. POE is one for Yard Machines. They took a quick look at it and opened the gas cap to say "you don't have any gas!" Ummm what?! :/ I didn't think it was gas as I had JUST put in gas the day I last used it! I suddenly envisioned my blonde roots exposed (and I'm not naturally blonde)! LOL!!! We weren't sure so he put in a bit of gas in there to test it out instead of making me go back home to fill it and the possibility it wasn't that and bring it back to the shop again. He saved me a trip and repair cost! Thank you! For that, I'll be your first reviewer and fan.

After a frustrating experience ordering a sliding door from Home Depot, I found Dolan's Lumber,…read moreWindows and Doors. From the start, their customer service was outstanding. They responded quickly to my inquiry and every follow up email I sent. Brian went above and beyond to help me, and even shared my situation with Milgard. He was also very knowledgeable and recommended upgrading the screen door for the slider since the standard one can feel a bit cheap, and suggested upgrading the glass to help with temperature regulation. He also gave me a quote for the exact door I originally ordered from Home Depot, in case I didn't want to upgrade anything. I really appreciated the time he spent helping me, especially since it was just one slider door. Excellent customer service. They definitely have my business going forward. Highly recommend!

We visited Dolan's at both the Walnut Creek and Concord locations on two separate occasions while…read moreshopping for doors and windows. In both instances, there were multiple employees working at the front desk area on their computers. While they may have been busy, no one acknowledged or greeted us when we walked in. Even a simple "Hi, we'll be with you shortly" would have gone a long way. My wife spent about 10 minutes browsing the showroom during one visit and we still were not approached. We ultimately left both times without speaking to anyone. We understand that some showrooms operate by appointment, and if that is the standard protocol, that is perfectly fine. However, a quick greeting, asking whether we had an appointment, or offering to schedule one would have created a very different experience. We did not have this issue at Golden State Lumber or Ashby Lumber, where we were promptly acknowledged and assisted. Unfortunately, based on our experience, we will be moving forward elsewhere.

If you arrive at Standard Appliances, expect SUB-standard help…read more I went into Standard Appliances to purchase a ductless mini-split system which would comply with my Title 24 report. I provided this report to the owner who was working at the counter at the time, and he assured me that he could absolutely read the report and had a unit that would fit those specific requirements. He was extremely confident and sold me the mini-split unit. Fast forward to after installing the unit and having the required HERS report done, I was informed by the professionals that this unit did not in fact meet the Title 24 requirements that were provided to Standard Appliances. I spoke with the owner afterwards to let him know this, with the sole purpose of letting him know they may want to pay a bit more attention to the details of the Title 24 report provided to them for the next customer (or victim). The owner proceeded to yell at me and complain that he did nothing wrong, because he is not an engineer. I never asked him to analyze anything as an engineer, I simply asked to buy a unit that was up to the specific requirements for which he had replied confidently he knows exactly how to read these reports. If you prefer to not get yelled at and treated extremely poorly, take your business elsewhere. The owner will yell at you for 5 minutes straight while not listening to any word of reason from you. There are plenty of appliance stores that sell identical products to that of Standard Appliance, and you will be very happy you were not verbally abused.

We stopped by Granite Expos this month, and we worked with Emily on purchasing Granite Counters and…read moreSink to replace the dated tile. We provided all of the measurements and the complete layout of the kitchen. We decided to go with granite instead of quartz since the residence is rental property. Granite Expo prices are very reasonable and the products looks very nice. More importantly we came to a speedy agreement on all of the material and installation date. Last year we purchased granite counters & sink from Granite Expo. However, the installation team performed poorly. Emily assured us she would send a very good installer, and the last installer, no longer works for Granite Expo. Kemin Guo the installer (granite installer/kitchen remodeling/painting/floor installation) arrived on time. He reviewed the plywood installation, and he gave specific instructions on removing a couple of shims. He immediately went to work with one additional worker. Keri said he would be done in 3 hours. Kemin had finished the granite installation in 2 hrs 45 mins, then began applying sealant & caulking. They cleaned up their mess once everything was completed. Overall, we are giving Kemin and his (1) additional installer & Granite Expo .... 5 stars ***** for going far an above expectation.

The only downside is that only some of the items in stock, if it's not , you'll have to wait about 3 weeks to have it made and ready for pickup. But honestly, they had MANY choices that I would find it hard to believe that someone couldn't find what they were looking for right then and there if needed. They even have a little coffee maker for folks to drink while they shop. I found that the people here were knowledgeable and patient. I felt like a valued customer. It's fun to come and shop, especially if it's for your own home. This place is about an hour drive from me but I don't mind since the prices are so competitive. So yea, I'd definitely recommend this place.
