Definitely time for a review for the Eco Store now that we've completed our 3rd project with them!…read more I remember when The Eco Store opened up years ago in Oak View. It was such a pleasure to see so many potential home improvement projects, all in one place, and that all inspired a better way of living at our house. Our first project with the Eco Store was a gray water system to move abundant shower water out to our plants and gardens. That felt so good that we then did a second project with the Eco Store. They created a simple and affordable rain water catchment system that now gives us enough water to completely water all of our plants, gardens, and even our backyard grass areas! Now we've just completed a salt-free whole house home water filtration system that gives us high-quality drinking water throughout our whole house, and allows us to NOT have to dump salt into a tank every month. Working with Erica at the store is always a pleasure. She is super knowledgeable and very helpful. She makes a large variety of household soaps and sells them at the Eco Store. That makes it so we are re-using all of our plastic soap bottles! We've done a lot of home improvements at our house with various contractors. LeVon (owner) cares about your house, provides a professional installation, and seems to know everything about conserving energy and water at your house! Working with him is like having a good friend over your house. But when he leaves, you feel 100% better about your house, and how you are working with nature to support the house and it's water needs. I know they work with electrical needs at your house too... maybe project #4 in the future for us!?!? It is always a pleasure working with The Eco Store! We highly recommend you visit their store, talk with them, and get inspired!

I can't imagine why the other reviews were less than 5 stars unless the Biz was Pre-David, as it looks like he took over the Biz a few years ago. Gotta Luv a Great Independent Biz!

An ambitious First Annual Rewind Ojai Native Garden Tour launched on April 27, 2024. 9 gardens…read moreshowcased the move from traditional lawns and thirsty plants to Native California species in and around the Ojai Valley. The tenth location of Birdsong Ranch near Foster Park served as the grand finale. Dear Hubby and I have been moving toward waterwise gardening ourselves, so we looked forward to this new tour. For a first effort, I give it a B-minus grade. Some logistics were lacking. For example, having a cooler of bottled water for sale at each garden would have been welcome as the sun started beating down. Several of the gardens had a same-y same-y feel, though the addition of "before" pix made for a dramatic presentation. Two recent wet winters provided a significant boost in establishing these newer landscaping efforts. There were also a few standout properties with gorgeous views. A perfect Spring day offered the best experience for garden touring. As we drove around various neighborhoods, we spotted other places that could easily be on future tours, as "rewilding" is becoming ever more popular. One of the minuses was that a food truck that was advertised to be at Birdsong Ranch was nowhere to be found. Refreshments would have been welcome! Overall, good first effort!

Not sure how things disappear, but I will say if you own a business where you are responsible for other peoples belongings, you need to be accountable or offer some type of reimbursement - they never continued the search nor did they apologize for the loss. They never bothered calling me or following up with me to this day. I'm the one that had to call them over and over. Sad.

We bought our home and within two months had to replace the roof. The cost: $132,000.

How could an "certified roof expert " miss these important conditions? Mike Hasty is a very bad home inspector.
