Lei and the team at Cecilia Home recently helped us complete a remodel design project. It's a great room/kitchen remodel where several wall are removed, and floors are ceilings are raised in order to create a more open feel to the home. They did an excellent job. Often, by the time we logged into the home owner building permit portal, the team at Cecilia not only had acknowledged comments from the city, but had already provided responses. The team handled all the structural and technical aspects of the project with ease. The project management team at Cecilia Home is also excellent. They proactively notified us when the city required our involvement, and otherwise kept the project moving forward with expediency. I am very pleased with the services Cecilia Home provided, and I will definitely be a repeat customer for future remodel projects. Thank you Lei, and thank you to the rest of the Cecilia Home team.

Cecilia home's reply

The service we offer included the item called permit application assistance, which means we will represent home owner to respond to any comments from jurisdiction. We understand it is not easy to understand all the comment from either planning or building department.

Absolutely a 5-star experience! They are lightning-quick in their response. They patiently heard my needs and provided cost-effective options that included approaching other vendors - who does that nowadays? They explained various options in detail and also answered my other related questions. I wish all service providers were like them - I highly recommend working with them.

I hired Cecilia Home to help me understand where I could locate doors and windows in my basement. Mason was very responsive to my initial inquiry and recommended doing a 3D laser scan of the home to allow for an accurate structural load analysis of proposed door and window placement. Within a few days he completed an initial site visit and laser scan and we discussed the tradeoffs (in expense, demolition, hold-downs, reinforced sheathing) of creating various sized door vs. window openings. Final architectural plans and structural design were completed over several weeks collaboration via email; we also had a zoom call so I could ask questions about the structural design. I am very happy with the end result and feel that Cecilia provided excellent service for the proposed price. Would definitely hire again.

Cecilia home's reply

Many house in San Francisco area has foundation problem due to rain, drain, or other water problem. We are glad, we could help. About 90% foundation we help evaluate has little serious problem but to taking care the drainage issue. We are glad we could help and thank you for your kind review.
