Great selection of tiles, and Roxy is great to deal with!

Terrible experience with this business. I ordered two different colors of square tile for a checkerboard kitchen floor. Half of the tile arrived 1/8inch shorter than the other color, so in order to make it work our contractor had to cut all of the tiles to the appropriate size, resulting in a tripling of the time and costs for installation.When contacting Sinan, the owner, for a refund on a product that was not to spec, he said I was “making a fuss” and would not be refunding the order since the tile was used. If the tile hadn’t been delayed by 1 month already, and we weren’t under a tight deadline I would’ve had no issue returning the tile.This was terrible customer service, and an extremely unprofessional way to treat a customer. I couldn’t recommend this business any less.

Had a very disappointing experience with this shop. Ordered two colors of square porcelain tile for a kitchen floor renovation, checkerboard pattern. Half of the tiles showed up 1/8 of an inch shorter than the other half, meaning clean lines couldn't be achieved. Our contractor had to work a 14 hour day to finish the project because he had to cut all the tiles to the correct size rather than a simple half day job. Given that the tiles were not to the spec I ordered, I requested a refund. Sinan, the owner, refused, and did not take responsibility for the product issue. On the phone, he also said I was "making a fuss," which is an entirely inappropriate way to address a customer. Horrendous experience.

I am very pleased with my new kitchen floor, which is beautiful (see photo), and great to walk on! Roxy was so helpful and professional, and Ross installed the marmoleum tiles perfectly. He is an excellent craftsman and knows exactly how to plan and execute the job. I knew I could rely on both Roxy and Ross to respond quickly to my questions.

Sinan Sabuncuoglu is the architect, general contractor and owner of the Berkeley Design Center/Devco Design & Construction. He was the one-stop shop that we recently used to modernize a century old, historic house in Berkeley for the 21st Century.Our whole-house remodel consisted of a new expanded kitchen, structural enlargement of the kitchen’s opening, new 3.5 baths and new windows.Sinan favorably performed with deep experience, a great eye for design, functionality and attention to detail, as well as trusted subs who have worked with him on his many projects over the years (e.g., various trades people and structural engineer).Twice Sinan saved me from making design decisions in the new kitchen that would’ve become costly, off-putting mistakes at resale. Moreover, the entire remodel from new kitchen to new baths and re-painted rooms has a cohesive and clean look that honors the house’s historic exterior with an updated, modern interior.

Great selection and helpful owners. A place of only quality items that you can't find at Home Depot.

I have been working with the BDC for over 25yrs. They remodeled my deck, my kitchen and 4 bathrooms. Twenty five yrs later they all look as good as new. The material and craftsmanship was outstanding. The service was outstanding.

Working with Roxy and Ross was a pleasure. My refurbish was completely unexpected and they were extremely knowledgeable, personable, ordered and installed my new Marmoleum floor as quickly as was possible and were there every step of the way to touch base, answer concerns and questions. I highly recommend the Berkeley Design Center and will definitely use them again!

Sinan, you have the eye of an artist, the ingenuity of a magician and the heart of a proud parent. Thanks for transforming our little dark cave into a beautiful jewel box. We love it! Paul and Diane

We have visited several times over the years and due to one reason or another never found exactly what we needed until this time. While working on a renovation project requiring some new flooring tile plans we visited BDC and met with Sinan (the owner) after a few more visits, samples and A+ input from Sinan to help us we purchased our new flooring from BDC and the entire process was fun and easy. Sinan helped us track the shipment and even when the shipper broke a few boxes Sinan helped us get new ones ASAP incredibly easy and low stress. Sinan's advice was helpful in narrowing down our selections and ensuring things like lighting, grout, and other things were factored into our entire plan. Highly reccoment you visit Berkeley Design for your next floor/wall/bath remodel

Met with Roxy. Fantastically nice- but, the selection was horrible for faucets. Oddly, she told me that I could find something online and she could order it. What's the point of that? The store felt dark, cluttered and dusty. I certainly wouldn't go back, but having a highball with Roxy after work, yeah.

It is rare to find a contractor who is competent, honest, hard working and truly gifted with a sense of design. We have done two major projects together with very satisfactory results. Highly recommended!

Sinan is extremely detail oriented and creative. He will really listen to your input and come up with creative ideas and execution to achieve your construction needs. I have loved working with him for several decades over many projects in my home and office building.
