Berkeley Design Center

"We had a great experience with the staff of the Berkeley design center. We had a flooring project where tiles and hardwood floors came together. We were very well advised on the floor type, and they were very careful and detail oriented throughout the process. We will definitely work with them again."

"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."

"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."

"We had a fantastic experience working with Berkeley Design Center. Roxie was extremely responsive and thorough from lending us materials to giving us design feedback, to getting quotes for materials, finalizing purchases and lining up installers. Their efforts contributed to an incredibly smooth construction schedule and great final project. And, their estimates were reasonable. I highly recommend working with the Berkeley Design Center!"
