I can't speak highly enough about Mike Roman and crew. They did an outstanding job on my bathroom…read morereno. My bathroom was falling apart, the floor was caving in, there was mold on the back of the shower. Everything was done expertly. Electrical, plumbing, insulation removal, excellent tile work, painting, it was all done perfectly. They cleaned up at the end of each work day. Some extra things were done around my house that helped a lot, such as a railing on my back steps. Mike especially went out of his way to help with different things to make my life as a senior easier. Whatever Mike promised got done and at the price quoted, unless extra is needed but only if agreed on. He was very easy to work with. He is kind, has a great sense of humor, and an animal lover (which is important as I have a Chihuahua and two cats).

We hired Rayco to replace our front door, security screen and our sliding door in our family room…read more The ordering process was very easy with Sandi. She showed us our options for the front door and the security screen. Scott came out to look things over and get measurements for our doors. After that point we received an estimate to peruse and approve. We had a few questions that Sandi was able to answer quickly. The doors were ordered and we were given a tentative timeframe for installation. A few weeks later Sandi called to schedule our installation. Dave installed the front door perfectly. The back slider was also installed that same day by Scott and his crew. The slider went in beautifully and looks very nice. The moulding looks great. In between, the painters came and touched up all the areas around the door and slider before Dave installed the security door in the front. We are very pleased with the results and the service we received from Scott and his crew. They were all helpful and did great work. We had put this off for years and are so glad it is done and done well. Definitely a pleasure working with Rayco Windows and Doors!

I recently bought a wonderful condo in Oakland's Lakeshore neighborhood with the help of Paul and…read moreTeam Talbot. Over the years, my friend group has actually used Paul and Jade for various purposes (5 purchases and 1 sell) and there's a reason we keep coming back! Paul made the process as easy could be in the tough Bay Area market. He made a stellar recommendation for a lender, which also went smoothly despite an out-of-my-control problem with a balcony. Regardless, Paul made it work and was clear and communicative the whole way. Paul was super easy to work with, always available, gave clear advice/instruction, and really put the control in my hands throughout the process. No complaints at all, and I've been very happy. I've also been thrilled with the contractor recommendations he's made (cleaning and moving so far), and as my friends have reported, they are happy as well. Paul has been around the area long enough to know the market well and to know where to go to get things done. Overall, I'd recommend him and his team to anyone. Thanks Paul!

She worked tirelessly to make sure we were the winning offer, getting us in for an early viewing, staying connected with the seller's relator, and giving us honest advice when considering our offer price to be competitive. Paul came in to help us sell our first house. He got to work right away with prepping the house (connecting us with contractors, stagers, and landscaping), creating the marketing, and keeping us in the loop along the way of any documentation we needed to complete. He and his team were great at making sure we had all the things ready when we had interested buyers. We got multiple offers after our first weekend and closed in 21 days 26K OVER asking! (while other homes in our neighborhood, that had been on the market for much longer, were having to drop their price). Can't recommend these folks enough! Very responsive, very organized, and personable.

We had Marzolf Brothers construction do a large project for us in 2013 at our home in Kensington…read more The project involved the addition of a family room (approximately 12 x 24) at the back of our house, a huge bay window with window seat in our daughters room, and new sliding french doors in our master bedroom to match the sliding french doors in the new family room. We couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! I can't say enough about how great Wayne, Jacob, Kenny and the rest of the crew is. I also have to say how wonderful Cheryl is - their administrative assistant. She is always available and incredibly helpful. The project was started on time, and every day the guys were there working until it was finished. We have had unfortunate experiences with other contractors, and we are so happy to know that a contractor with great communication, attention to details and organization actually exists! I also just appreciate the simple fact that everyone we have worked with at Marzolf Brothers is kind and has a sense of humor! Most recently, the guys came up to install a beautiful playhouse in our backyard, and we hope that they will be able to help remodel our kitchen in 2014. UPDATE: In the spring of 2014 we had Marzolf Brothers back to remodel our kitchen! The original kitchen to our 1947 home was gutted within days. The worn dark cabinets and awful white tile countertops were replaced with beautiful custom cabinetry, a built-in bench in our eating area, along with bookshelves for our many cookbooks and walnut butcher block countertops. Once again, we couldn't be happier with our new kitchen and how the process went quickly and smoothly. Look at the pictures of our kitchen on their website! The transformation is amazing!

I have known Sam and his services for a very long time, with projects he built and completed with his Dad. So it was a no-brainer to call him up and ask him to build a new patio for my Mom. The careful diligence he took in thinking what would look best, it's functionality, and high quality planning was apparent as time went on for a few visits. This led up to sketches Sam made for my Mom to look at, but instead of building a new patio, he suggested and designed a Pergola! Mom loved the idea, as well as something new, and subsequently asked him to complete the project. The work, detail, building was so impressive and great, my Mom asked Sam to also tear down and build new fencing on both sides of the patio, as well as a fencing in the back perimeter of the yard. This was ALL better than my Mom and I would have imagined! The aesthetics of the patio and yard dramatically changed for the better, and the way he crafted everything to fit in and showcase the surrounding riparian area was perfect. I have a few other projects in mind to upgrade the house and yard, and will be calling up Sam in the future to take a look, and how he can equally improve the physical nature of the house and yards. Why else would I call anyone else?!
