They damage property and don't give a damn about repairing it. I just bought a house where Sayde Mark Designs provided staging. After they removed their items from walls, they left holes in the wall, tore off plaster, and scuffed the walls. But they got paid by the seller, so why would they care about the buyer or the condition of the house after they left? Also, they had the garage door opener and when returning it after the sale, they just left it out in the open on the front step. Couldn't even bother to put it in a secure location, like the mail box.

Both surpassed my already high expectations from initial contact through design, changes, installation, customer service. A huge shout out to our designer Corinne, whose design, patience, communication, openness, availability and professionalism was stellar, The quality of my cabinets and hardware is top notch. I love the silence opening and closing cabinets and drawers. Materials and workmanship ...can't say enough. Installation team were always on time, worked seamlessly, always made me feel my needs as they worked came first. That's rare in my experience. I can't really speak to value because I did no comparative shopping. I chose California Closets because of several close friends who had used them for many years and in multiple houses. There sense of quality and taste was enough for me. I expect "you get what you pay for" applies. I certainly got what I paid for!

Everything was well scheduled and the installers were on time and did the job professionally. We love the end result and it's made our lives so much easier, more organized, and more beautiful! Our closet is really gorgeous! Very good company to work with. I do want to add that it is the designer, Caren, who was the face of the company, and she was just so lovely to work with and so knowledgeable. It is one of the few home projects we have done over the years that was flawless!

There was lots of process, vendors, dealers and corporate folks involved and I was the new guy. Joanne and Tim figure it out and made it all smooth. Corporate loves the office.

Joanne and her team made sure very last detail was perfect and dogged all the pesky issues ( including IT !!!) that make setting up an office challenging. They also managed the building issues and hanging the art work and doing lots of extras. When we expand I will call Joanne and Team again. 5 stars.

I worked with Madrone on two custom tables and had a really great experience from start to finish…read more Communication was clear, the process felt collaborative, and there was a lot of care in the details. One of the pieces was made from old-growth Doug fir sourced from Sonoma, and you can tell there was real intention behind how the boards were selected and finished. It feels modern and refined, while still holding onto the character of the wood. Both tables turned out beautifully-- well made, thoughtful, and exactly what I was hoping for. I'd absolutely recommend and work with them again.

Janet was always available when I needed to have questions answered. They were excellent and we are so happy with the job they did. I've never recommend contractors because we've been basically disappointed almost every time. They also worked with our budget and found us beautiful cabinets. They have a great sense of design and color and they are a family own business. I really recommend them. It was also nice to have someone understand our budget and try to help. I have PTSD from others doing bad, work or being lazily and unfair. I can honestly say it was a pleasure working with them. Of course we had normal problems that had nothing to do with them but they were patient and understanding. We Interviewed 4 different companies and no one was interested in us unless we could spend our life savings. If you need a kitchen and someone has a great sense of design, check out her in the kitchen. I feel like we got lucky.

The 2024 remodel of my San Rafael home was the largest home construction project I have attempted,…read moreand this is my 4th house. I am a certified Project Manager and licensed Mechanical Engineer, so I know what good project execution looks like. MKC is the best residential contractor I have worked with in my 30 years of home ownership. MKC employs a process with heavy emphasis on planning the work up front followed by quality execution by the craftsmen. Scott (owner of MKC) honestly strives to land each project with the highest quality work done at a reasonable price. My project was mainly to remodel a kitchen and master bathroom. Additionally, we removed two walls (one load bearing), replaced 1/2 the house windows, addressed two different legacy structural issues, replaced fireplace, all interior doors, all baseboard and trim, all flooring and about a dozen other upgrades (add ceiling fans, add additional door, replace garage door header, toilet in 2nd bath, etc.). Basically, I received a new house. The work was completed in a little over 4 months as planned adding time for the new scope and structural issues. The cost was as expected. MKC costs were nearly exact to expected. Material costs were higher than planned due to our selection of materials vs assumed. The quality of the work was outstanding whether it was by MKC employees or subcontractors. I highly recommend the MKC team for a kitchen or major home remodel.

We originally just planned a countertop for the kitchen island, all the sides would just be wood…read more Then we found a piece of labradorite lemurian that we absolutely felt in love with and decided the front of the island would also used the same piece. And we would use the cutout from the cooker as a backsplash for our coffee bar. But the slab was a little too short and had a missing corner. The backsplash would also be short by a couple of inches. This is where Frank and his skilled crew come in. Frank gave us very helpful suggestions on moving the electrical outlets. We had some wacky ideas on dealing with the missing corner and the too short backsplash. Frank was very patient with us and suggested patching the missing parts instead. He also sent a crew to thicken the plywood for the countertop for better support. He also added reinforcement on the slab. Turns out labradorite lemurian is on the fragile side. The end results were amazing. I know there's a patch, but I can't find it. We also compared the raw slab with the countertop. They didn't just cut the slab to size and installed them, but there was some thoughts and designs on what looked best. Extra shoutout to his crews for being detail oriented and professional.

Only one other one got back to me to say they couldn't help. They said Frank at Carrera was my only hope. So, I called and then e-mailed a few photos. Frank ended up coming out the exact same day. He gave me great advice about prepping the area over the phone, and then was able to fix the gap, and also a few chips he noticed in the countertop as well. While working, Frank gave me great advice about caring for our countertops, and other thoughtful upgrades

Pegasus did an amazing job staging our home. The transformation was incredible and we have no doubt…read morethat the beautiful aesthetic they created helped in no small part to us getting offers that were all over-asking. Along with the beautiful "sanctuary" (word used by the buyer to describe the home) they created, we found the team a delight to work with -- super communicative, on top of timelines and schedules and so prompt about removing items early when needed. They are truly the best. Definitely use them for your home staging needs.

Every piece was thoughtfully selected, every room meticulously balanced, and the overall presentation elevated the property in a way that felt refined and intentional. They understand luxury -- not just aesthetically, but strategically. Their team handled the home with incredible respect and precision, which is critical in high-end properties. The result was a cohesive, sophisticated look that enhanced the architecture and created an emotional connection the moment buyers walked in. We highly recommend Pegasus Staging for any luxury listing. They deliver at the highest level. Bob and Kat Bedbury Bedbury Group Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty

Staging is the process of making your house look bigger, showing off the details, but without distracting the buyer with the staging items themselves. Well... it works. Design Stories transformed the look of our house. They spent hours moving things around to get a perfect look. Victoria and Claudia are perfectionists and do a terrific job. They are also super flexible - they had to dodge subcontractors as they were deploying because we ran into scheduling issues. They handled it all cheerfully. The results were terrific. I also found their pricing quite reasonable. I highly recommend Design Stories!
