I saw this place on Yelp and was surprised because I've been to McGinnis golf course many times and…read morenever knew this place existed. Driving out there seems a little weird because you feel as if you are going in the wrong place but if you stay left past the sanitation building there is a little parking lot with space for about 5 cars and the walk starts there. The sanitation plant ponds are a haven for birds and birdwatchers. I wish I knew the names of more birds, but I saw many different kinds as well as an unbelievably ginormous Swan and tons of ducks quacking around. There are lovely views in every direction: Mount Tam, Saint Vincent's church steeple, and Marin's endless hills. Many parts of the trail are aligned with Himalayan blackberry bushes which bloom in the late summer. The trail is very level so good for running but it can get a bit dusty, so you'd be kicking that up. To walk around the pools is around 2 miles but if you wanted to go longer the trail veers out north and you can walk to the Hamilton Trail which is about 1.5 mile one way. This part of the trail is nice for something longer but it can get more monotonous in scenery so not as good for a solo walk and there is absolutely no shade so I wouldn't recommend for the summertime.

This review is for the reclamation pond/project, not the sanitary district itself. What a hidden…read moregem! The miles of even-ground hiking trails have incredible views of Mt. Tam and San Pablo Bay. There are sitting and picnic benches if you want to stop and rest or observe the abundance of wildlife, and bikes and dogs are allowed. This is one of my favorite places to walk in Marin because dogs are allowed, and I love stopping to watch the migratory birds. If ornithology is your jam, I recommend bringing binoculars and a camera. Parking can be challenging on weekends, and the smell (especially near the entrance) can be super potent when it's warm or hot outside, but the wildlife viewing makes it worth it for me.

Alex was not the cheapest yet his bid stood out as well written, comprehensive and timely. When questions were asked he was right there with answers. He was able to work with our tight time schedule. His accountability and responsiveness made him a stand out amongst the rest. Meeting on the job, Alex, is personable and a good communicator. The doors were going to be set in an irregular construction space so adjustments were expected and Alex had included an hourly rate for extra time and materials. Alex and his assistant brought needed tools and supplies, laying out cloths to protect the flooring. He has a calm demeanor and gave confidence the doors would work well. The job continued an extra day with Alex paying attention to many details and taking the time needed to get the work done right. He cleaned up and left the job site in good condition. Thank you, Alex!

Installation just finished on a four-unit Quilt mini-split system. Very new product and I'm excited…read moreabout the aesthetics, usability and efficiency. My experience with Bellows has been an interesting one. TLDR; highly recommended and check out the Quilt system! - - - I had originally scheduled an estimator to come out an give a price on replacing a whole house gas furnace with a heat pump system but was also considering a multi-head mini-split system. The technician who came out was knowledgable and introduced me to the Quilt system. He was not pushy at all, simply said that it was a new system that showed a lot of promise. After reading a bit more about it, I was sold! The promise of efficiency was intriguing and the usability and aesthetics sealed the deal. It took about a month to really get things going, but once they started, the installation team was great! Very professional, efficient and tidy. On the third day of installation, I had inquired about the condenser unit location. It was placed in a prominent and highly visible location at the front of the house and I thought there was a good alternate location - moving it back about 5' and rotating it 90 degrees. I definitely missed the window of time when this should have been asked, and to move it would require some additional work. The initial response was not empathetic or customer satisfaction- minded, the quote for the change order was prohibitively high and I ended the phone call feeling very frustrated. Within minutes, one of the owners, was on the phone. Chelsea put on a MASTERCLASS in conflict resolution. She made a personal connection, approached the situation with humility and grace, quickly establishing empathy in both directions. Chelsea found a delicate balance between defending her business and wanting to help find a solution by sharing more detailed information about the systems and installation process, and asking questions about why I wanted to change the location. Like most customer-service facing professionals, she articulated that she wanted me to be happy with the product and service and that the company would make it right. But unlike the majority of those people, it did not come across as condescending - she was genuine, willing to explore options, and ultimately took the time to gather more information and see what options were actually available. The installation manager, Del, came out the next morning, worked with the installers to find an efficient solution to move the unit, and the system was completed within the original schedule. The two-man installation team ended up working a little later, and even on a Friday afternoon before a long weekend, showed professionalism and patience in testing the system, cleaning up, and making sure all of my questions were answered before calling the job complete. Ultimately, I am very satisfied with my Bellow's experience and would recommend. I am very impressed with Chelsea and her handling of the situation. The company, her partners and anyone working for her should be grateful for the leadership she provides. Thank you Chelsea, Del, Joed and Julian!

Doug responded to my inquiry the very same afternoon and made himself available the next day to thoroughly walk the property with me and review the inspection report. Doug's expertise was incredibly impressive, covering everything from home building materials and drainage systems to foundation concerns. His insights were particularly valuable since the home is situated on a hillside in San Anselmo. Doug identified several critical details not captured in a typical home inspection, providing us with a deeper understanding of potential issues, their significance, and realistic cost estimates for necessary repairs. I highly recommend Millsap Degnan & Associates for anyone purchasing a home in Marin. Their knowledge and professionalism gave us confidence and peace of mind in making an informed buying decision.

The corrosion had reached a point where it weakened the pipe wall.

Thanks to the professionalism of the guys at Tarantino Plumbing, they found the leak and fixed it by taking out the damaged section and re-routing it so it won't happen again!
