“During my recent visit to the Williams-Sonoma store in Corte Madera, I had the pleasure of being assisted by Ashley. She helped me exchange an item that I couldn't use. Ashley was attentive, took the time to listen to my concerns, and effectively resolved the issue by assisting me with the exchange. As a result, I purchased a new item that was twice the price of the original one—a win for the store as well!
In contrast to my previous visit, where the manager on shift was dismissive and didn't take the time to listen to me, Ashley's excellent customer service made a significant difference. I was initially hesitant to ask for help again, but I am grateful that I did, and even more grateful that Ashley was there to assist me.
Thank you, Ashley, for putting the customer first!”
“David Shawn of Miconi Tiles remodeled a bathroom for me in our family home. He reorganized the space to fit in a stackable washer/dryer. The bedrooms and bathroom are on the second floor. He installed a jacuzzi bathtub. At first I couldn't see how every thing would work together and it came out great.
The master bedroom had a tiny shower. And there again, he took advantage of of the space, moved a closet and we have a wonderful walk in toilet. Miconi has a lot of great designs to choose from.
I highly recommend David Shawn and Miconi Tiles.”
“I asked a question, everyone stood there, and Zachary answered as if he committed the entire store's inventory to memory. He was very knowledgeable, resourceful, and kind, helping me with my purchase. Thank you”
“Always love stopping here. I think the second can be more interesting than the bits that are considered perfect. Also very helpful staff looked in the back for a second in a color that was not out on the floor for me.”

“I was shopping for a mirror with my husband. Jan was so incredibly helpful and kind. We found the perfect hollwood style mirror with Jan’s help. She went way above and way beyond her job duties and I don’t think she will ever understand how much her help meant to me.
Jan, I can’t thank you enough for your kindness and good heart. I know you’re management, but I hope someone higher up in the company sees this. Jan embodies exceptional customer service and is an all around good human being. She is the reason we will continue to always shop at homegoods!”
“We purchased a 45-year-old home in Santa Rosa that required extensive remodeling. Initially, we visited Gilman Kitchens simply to gather ideas for a future kitchen renovation, as we were not yet ready to begin. However, after our first meeting with Manon Demers, we decided to move forward with the remodel.
We came in with some ideas of our own—such as navy blue lower cabinets with white upper cabinets—and Manon was able to enhance our vision by presenting excellent samples and offering thoughtful, practical guidance. She visited our home before demolition, helped us visualize cabinet and appliance placement, and prepared detailed plans for the project. We relied heavily on Manon’s expertise for the cabinetry and countertops, while selecting our own appliances, cabinet hardware, lighting, and wall treatments.
The project planning began in June and was completed by the end of October Working with Manon was a pleasure throughout the entire process. She is knowledgeable, professional, and highly experienced. We are extremely pleased with the results and highly recommend Gilman Kitchens and Baths for anyone seeking a beautiful, well-executed kitchen remodel.”
“Ace hardware is my go to hardware store before Home Depot and Lowe's for certain items but for bigger jobs like sheet rock or lumber building materials I'll go to Home Depot but some of the bigger Ace Hardware stores carry everything I would need. I would recommend Ace hardware.”

“I’m embarrassed my review didn’t update. This is my favorite store in Marin!! It’s family owned and clearly the owners love their business and customers!
It’s the only place I’ve been able to find MSG! I wish I had a bigger kitchen just as an excuse to stock up here!!!”
“I am thrilled with the selection here. Such a great variety and quality. There are interesting pieces that are actually still useful. They are also authentic in how they are sourced.
I’m not sure on their return policy but at least you are able to hold and check out the item before purchase!
The is exactly what I want in a home goods store.”

“I’ve been a customer for 26 years, going back to when they were in the city. Great service, and always willing to help, even with small orders- more than can be said for most restaurant supply outfits. Great prices, great tools, great, honest service.”
“Claudia M. Is a rock star of customer service and follow through. In a retail world that is becoming more and more apathetic to their customers. I had the pleasure of working with Claudia M. When I visited the Ferguson (San Rafael) store with a potential warranty issue with a Pfister product that left me and my family without a working shower in our tiny 2b/1ba house.
Not only did Claudia M. Listen carefully to my issue, she also identified the specialty part that wasn’t listed on Pfister’s website, called her local rep to see if the individual part could be gotten and under warranty replacement, and arranged for me to pick up the parts the next day. I’m floored that was able to receive such comprehensive customer service in the retail world we find ourselves in.
Needless to say, it’s a day and a half later and my shower is as good as new and I’ll be back for any more bathroom or kitchen needs.”
“Better place to shop than the gougers at Pace and Fergusson. Staff knows what they sell and know how to help. The best plumbing supply in Marin for sure. If they don't have it they can get it.”
“I needed to replace countertops at our home and called a number of countertop suppliers. Frank was the first person I spoke with who was willing to take the time to discuss options for me in detail over the phone. I then went to his facility in San Rafael and he gave me excellent advice and helped me pick out a granite product that was as reasonably priced as you’d find in a big box retailer. In the process of picking out our countertops, I decided to replace our kitchen cabinetry. Frank was so helpful with the countertops, I had Frank price out new cabinets. Frank’s prices were very fair and the cabinets arrived at our house in perfect condition. Frank and his designer Nancy were Wonderful to work with. Nancy paid attention to details and carefully confirmed measurements; she worked seamlessly with my contractor. Frank was patient and his years of experience showed through in his work. I was having a difficult time picking out the color of our cabinets. He took into account the natural lighting in our kitchen and gave us a color suggestion which we used. Now, over one year out from the countertop and cabinet installations, I still walk into my kitchen with great appreciation for Frank and his work. By the way, his counter top installer did an excellent job too. All the way around, I couldn’t be happier with Frank and Carrera Marble. I created a Google account only to be able to write this review. If I ever need countertops or cabinets again, I won’t bother calling anyone else. Thank you, Frank, for making our home more beautiful and functional.”
“These guys are awesome!! Very attentive and detailed. I had a small issue with the stripping seal on the edge of glass door and they stopped by and resealed with no issues. Highly recommend and the install and materials is first class!!”
“Updating the master bathroom and decided on a ramp style sink. I discovered that there aren't many to choose from and most of them are surface mount, which I didn't want. Came across Badeloft and reached out to get more information and their response was great; they even sent me a sample.
I ordered two and got them installed in the new vanity. The bathroom now looks like a high-end hotel or spa. Turns out they are really easy to keep clean too.
Not sure if this is a negative or not, but if you like to fill up the sink with water, for whatever reason, they don't have a stopper. That's not a problem for me.
Definitely pleased with this purchase.”

“Everything you could possibly need to furnish & decorate your chateau. The store beautifully designed. The walls are a luxurious dark green. Just in the door to your left is your wealthy aunt Mimi's country estate sitting room. There's a lovely portrait of her on the mantle, surrounded by her lifetime travel collections. Footstools upholstered in luxury rug fabric, candles, hammered (tin?) Milagros. Seriously, $54 for a flaming heart. Found one on Etsy for $8. Rent must be pretty high in tony Laurel Village.Nevertheless, the place is beautiful & perfectly curated, and I immediately bought into the fantasy. It's easy to justify buying something special, you know, for that special someone, who turns out to be you. That's how my bathroom ended up with French bottles of verbena lotion, and I'm not even telling you how much I paid for a wool throw.”
“Slava at Viktoriya Kitchen Bath Accessories provided exceptional service during our bathroom renovation. He assisted with selecting custom cabinetry and fixtures, and his attention to detail was remarkable. Beyond just helping us choose products, he educated us on the nuances of different materials and plumbing considerations. His insights regarding our remodel were invaluable, and we learned a great deal from his expertise. Highly recommended.”

“Not your usual city block IKEA, this one is intended to be smaller serving an urban area, and lacking the customary large parking and pickup areas. Even the cafe is small.”
“Yes, the owner is not for everyone. She does not believe that the customer is always right. She really knows her stuff; she does know more than you. If you are ok with that, she is going to get you exactly what you need (even if you thought you needed something else). She is a treasure!”
“I don't write a lot of reviews, in fact it's probably been years since my last one, but I have to give a Big Shout Out to Rob Melia and the rest of the staff at Ferguson's in Corte Madera. I had a problem with an order, and Rob could not of been nicer in helping me resolve it. He certainly went above and beyond, going the extra mile to help me. These days when customer service is almost nonexistent, it was refreshing to see it's alive and well at Ferguson's and says a lot about the company. If you need anything to do with plumbing supplies, I'm happy to give my unconditional recommendation to them--you won't be disappointed.”
