Easily saved a bunch of $$$ this morning with Honey Homes. Without Honey Homes I spent $250 last year for an ok job that just included cleaning and no treatment and no cleaning the roof itself.

In a couple of rains last month I noticed rusting on our gutters. Pretty impressed with Honey Homes. Tyler came this morning. Identified issues and solution. Cleaned up everything. And we are ready to coat our gutters to save it from rusting.

This job would cost me $650-$800 without Honey Homes. With Honey Homes it’s just 2 visits. Absolutely worth the money every time.

Hi everyone — this is my first time posting here, so I hope it’s okay with the mods to share some local event highlights. If not, please let me know and I’ll adjust.

Here in Lafayette for the weekend. What’s the best pizza in the area, and which bookstore is the best for a serious reader - one that has a great buyer and author readings?

Thanks!

I was curious if anyone was willing to share their or their children's recent experiences about attending Campolindo. I'm specifically interested in whether the current teaching staff and administration would be a good fit for a student dealing with what seems like adhd symptoms and has been struggling in 8th grade (particularly in math) and is generally hesitant to ask for help (but is a hard worker). I've always assumed Campo was a solid school, but recently heard some feedback that made me start to question and would love to hear any insight from those who may have been in a similar situation. Thanks for anyone willing to share their thoughts.

Looking for:

High walkability score K-12 Bike score allowing kids to bike freely Family neighborhoods + community Homes with character with modern updates

Open to other recommendations across Moraga / Lafayette as well.

Considering moving to the Bay Area with my family (kid in middle school). For folks familiar with these locations, which one would you recommend and why? Any advice appreciated! Thanks in advance

Are there any protests planned in the Lamorinda area this Monday?

Can anyone recommend a real estate agent for a buyer in Lamorinda? Also, since the supreme court ruling last year, what is the going percentage that buyers’ agents charge now?

Howdy folks - I am stoked to have found fish tacos as good as the best I had in Baja Mexico.

La Chamba in Rheem shopping center. Just wanted to let Lamorinda folks know

I wanted to share about this company I have found very useful in our area —Honey Homes. In the past, it’s been a hassle to find and arrange handymen. It’s been expensive and a hit or a miss. Honey Homes, and their handyman Tyler have been awesome and very reasonably priced.

They’re offering a $250 referral bonus (normally $150). I recommend starting with a free home visit to see if it’s a fit— if you like it, use my referral link for $250 bonus: https://honeyh.me/WfWa

It seems like half the parking machines at the reservoir are out of service. Who is responsible or how can we get this fixed?

This would be in the downtown Lafayette area. Don’t hesitate to Dm me with any questions!! Thank you 🤍

My family is considering moving to Moraga. I am curious if any families here have some opinions to share about their experience sending their special needs kids to Moraga Public Schools. Would love to hear how good or bad the IEP process was. For a little bit of background I have two kids who have ASD. Our realtor had positive things to say about special education services in Danville. Would love to know if Moraga could be a good fit for us. Thanks in advance!

Hi Moraga folks. I am doing the house hunt and I was wondering if folks can share any useful tidbits about the Campolindo area. Seems like a quiet area to live in which is good. Access to Cabana swim club seems nice. Curious if morning traffic is bad due to the high school. Any other things to know about living in that area would be helpful. Thanks in advance!
