“The project that EBCON Co. did for me wrapped up about a week ago. I thought they did an excellent job. The project was to design and build an ensuite addition to my house for my disabled sister, who will be moving in with me in a couple of months. I hired EBCON for the project as they had done my home remodel when I moved into my current house 10 years ago. I was very happy with that project and pleased that several of their key personnel and subcontractors were the same as for my previous project. The current project consisted of a bedroom/studio, bath, hallway/study, walk-through clothes closet, lots of storage space, and small outdoor patio with wheelchair ramp. As my sister is an artist and art teacher, we asked for a design that provided high walls for hanging her paintings and extra space in the bedroom/studio for her to paint and potentially teach a few students. The design process went very well. The designer worked constructively with us and made numerous trips to tile, stone, and carpet stores with us to select materials. We greatly appreciated the detailed plan skeches she generated, some of which showed my sister’s paintings up on the walls in her bedroom/studio! Challenges, including access to the addition through existing bedrooms and integrating the design with the existing house, were solved well. ADA guidelines for accessibility were strictly followed for the design and materials. We – and all our family and friends - love the design and how it has turned out. The construction work was very high quality – EBCON has very high standards for the work done on their projects, including for the smallest details. The EBCON team and the sub-contractors they brought in were great to work with through all the stages, including design, construction, and completion. In addition to weekly on-site progress meetings (which included the project manager, superintendent, designer, and often the head of the company), I was kept informed on a daily basis about what was happening and the timing for next steps. EBCON staff were always on site while work was being done, and they were always reachable for conversations. Overall we are very happy with the project. I would definitely use EBCON again were I to have another project, and I recommend them without reservation to anyone planning a large or small home construction or renovation project.”

“We had a fantastic experience working with Eric on the design of our home. From the beginning, he was incredibly communicative, thoughtful, and attentive to both our vision and our budget. Thanks to his thorough planning and expertise, we were able to get our plans approved on the first try—no small feat with the notoriously challenging Mill Valley Planning Department! Eric also went above and beyond by helping us find a phenomenal contractor and interior designer, both of whom were perfect fits for our project. The entire process felt collaborative and smooth, and the final result is better than we imagined. We’ve already recommended Eric to three friends and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again. If you’re looking for an architect who’s creative, detail-oriented, and a true advocate for his clients, Eric is your person.”

“I found renderings Carl did for another client on Flickr about 10 years ago, and finally made contact with him about six years ago. Since then, we explored a number of projects and I built a few of them and plan to build a few more. Carl has humored my own bad (and good) ideas and has come up with fantastic solutions for numerous sticky situations that come up in the constraints of remodeling an existing space. I’ve learned so much from the conversations with Carl over the years; it’s been a wonderful process to work with him. The tradesmen that I’ve hired who have worked with him speak very highly of him as well. I can’t wait to do more projects with Carl!”
