They power washed my house that Wednesday. They told me would be back the following Monday. (That's an old contractor's trick). They resumed the following Monday. They were here all the following week which was not the plan. 1. They cut a wire to my Bay Alarm security system and damaged several connection points. 2. They broke the transformer to my landscape lighting. 3. They painted over the cobwebs in my breezeway. 4. They left my 50 ft. garden hose in knots. 5. They broke the latch on my front gate. I hadn't realized all the damage done but Harold took $200 off my bill. I won't recommend this company.

He did a fantastic job blending the stains so it was just the color I wanted and I get compliments on the flooring all the time. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

I'm a very coordinated guy, but the Thursday night before I had a moment of clumsiness and the Blueberry Smoothie that I was about to enjoy slipped away from me and splattered in front of my sofa in the living room. Yes, you read right...BLUEBERRY! No chance that that catastrophe was coming out. So mad at myself for not being able to prevent/avoid the disaster, I started doing as much cleanup as possible. With phone in hand, I launched the Yelp! app and did a search for carpet cleaning with emphasis on the 'Open Now' filter. 3H Hygenix was at the top of the list, so I got in touch with Matthew right away. Fortunately, he had an open morning spot at 9:30, which I took right away. After explaining the situation and giving him a brief description of the issue, Matthew said he would do his best to combat the staining powers of blueberry. While I was glad to get an appointment for the following morning, I was still worried. Damn you, Mark, for being so clumsy. And damn you, blueberries, for torturing me throughout the evening! Once Matthew and Victor arrived they got to work. This dynamic duo was not only super professional and on top of it all, but they're two really great gents. In just over an hour, they not only eradicated the staining powers of the Blueberry Smoothie, but the took care of shampooing the rest of my apartment. (What a great start to my spring cleaning endeavors!) Seriously, I highly endorse and suggest you phone 3H Hygenix and get Matthew and Victor to take care of your carpet cleaning issues! In today's world where 'customer service,' is a foreign concept and dying art, these gents do such stellar work to keep that practice alive. Well done, Matthew and Victor!

From the beginning, we could tell they were going to do the job right. At the outset, it was clear that Bill put a lot of consideration into the initial quote; he was also transparent that there were factors that could only be identified once the project began (as with any major construction project). Once work began, their dedication to, and pride in, their work was immediately made clear by the way they prepped the worksite to ensure it would be shielded from the SF elements- they did so much more than one typically sees from other companies, which signaled to us that our home was in good hands. It was amazing to watch the crew expertly strip away 100+ years of paint jobs layered on top of each other, and, when unforeseen issues came up, they took ownership of fixing them (notwithstanding that they weren't responsible for the issue in the first place)- for example, when they discovered that almost all the shingles were disintegrating upon touch, they pivoted to cutting new ones on-site, by hand, and didn't alter their original quote. We couldn't have asked for a better partner to think through decisions big and small. Our project involved replacing every window on the entire front of the house (which they ordered and installed), expanding and replacing the garage door, adding new lighting, shoring up the front steps and restoring various decorative elements. We so appreciated their introductions to, and managing of, the appropriate tradespeople (electricians, etc.); they ensured that this work was all coordinated seamlessly. They are incredibly knowledgeable about historic aspects of SF homes and do their research when approaching the restoration of a property. Kyle designed a sun for the top of the house -- spending endless time iterating on the details to ensure it fit the character/period of the home, while having enough dimension to stand out -- and built it from scratch; he is an amazing woodworker and it was a pleasure to watch him work. When we showed them a picture of a house with a color scheme we liked, they color-matched it perfectly, and were happy to mix and test out various shade options until we landed on the final combination. And the team! Bill, Kyle, Ryan and Raf are simply the best. We loved having them around every day and enjoyed getting to know them and hearing about the process. I can say, unequivocally, that they there are truly wonderful people. They were incredibly kind to our 2-year old daughter (she was very sad the day they left), always accommodating of our scheduling needs (e.g., pausing the louder work during our daughter's nap if she was home from school) and kept us up to date on the progress. They take such pride in their work, even going above and beyond to ensure that they left interior spaces better than they found them (for example, they patched/painted interior cracks that were revealed over the course of the project, notwithstanding that this was well beyond the scope of their work). We are so proud of the final product, and frequently get compliments from neighbors and other passersby, and will certainly turn to Excel in the future when we have additional (interior) painting or restoration needs. We recommend their services without reservation. Thank you, Excel!
