As a painting contractor in the business of renovating common interest developments for the past 40 years, I am consistently caught up in the color selection process. Considering the value of these properties and the potential impact our work has on curb appeal, the frequency with which a color palette is chosen by well-intentioned but insufficiently trained volunteers astounds me.
Sayler Design is the best in the business when it comes to creating an eye-catching, aesthetically pleasing, visual sensation within a complex. With such a strong site vision, Sayler Design achieves that wow factor not by simply choosing the right colors, but through color placement and subtle tweaks to the existing format. And their service doesn't stop with color selection, but includes advice on appropriate lighting, landscaping, signage, and other exterior elements that help increase property values.
Sayler Design is the only group I recommend to my clients, for selfish reasons. When they are part of the team I know the finish work will be well-received, ultimately making my company look good and adding to my bottom line.
Sayler Design works well with contractors, communicating effectively and providing detailed plans that make sense and are easy to follow. Sayler Design is hands on, with someone on staff always willing to meet on site to answer questions and keep the job rolling.
If you are contemplating a painting or renovation project for your property, do yourself a favor and give Sayler Design a call. Your contractor will thank you, and so will your realtor!

Sam's Grill & Seafood Restaurant first collaborated with Sayler Design in 2014. The goal was to reinvigorate a classic without drawing attention to change. The results were exactly as desired and drew critical acclaim across the board. The redesign was acknowledged for its subtle elegance and preservation. Sayler Design was an integral part of bringing design and functionality to a new era for a San Francisco institution. When Sam's decided to open a sports bar next door, they knew that Sayler Design would develop the perfect interior to not only meet our needs but help determine how best to utilize the space. Their work resulted in a unique, timeless and comfortable Tavern that helps attract a broad range of clientele. An empty shell has now become a warm, fun environment that speaks to a new generation with a reverence toward the past.
It was important that Sam's Tavern reflect the 1860's-era charm and refinement of the Grill while playing host to modern sports events on its nine large-screen TVs. Sayler Design understood what we wanted, refined the concept, and worked with my architect and contractors to implement the vision. In the Tavern, they used a modified version of the Grill's wainscotting and hat hooks, and augmented that traditional warmth with the addition of a coffered ceiling. The reclaimed wood floors, stained oak bar top, and live-edge community table bring both continuity and diversity to the space. The Tavern's signature brick wall, blackened in the 1906 earthquake fires, is showcased to its fullest by the backlit glass bar shelves, and is also reflected in the infilled brick added to the structural I-beams at the window.
The seating is comfortable and inviting, comprising custom-designed bar stools, backless stools at the community table, banquette seating and chairs at the dining tables, and a comfortable lounge space near the window. The lighting is sophisticated, defining and illuminating each space. Touches of brass at the hand and foot rails, door knobs, windows, and beer taps add brilliance throughout. From the entrance way to the bathrooms, every detail counts. I love that the view from the street shows both the sports theme (through the TVs and rare vintage sports photos) and the timeless decor. I invite you to see and enjoy Sam's Tavern for yourself. Cheers!

Crown Colony, a 920-unit condo complex in Daly City, has availed itself of Sayler Designs services since 1995. Their first project was a very successful redesign of the Clubhouse's interior. Next, they designed a new look for our corridor building interiors. They have done this twice and will be doing the same for a third time in a couple of years. Sayler Design has also twice designed the exterior paint colors for both our corridor buildings and townhouses.
Their invaluable contributions have greatly enhanced the appeal of our common areas and exteriors, which in turn has increased the value of our owner's properties. During the second corridor design, Sayler Design introduced LED lighting into our interiors. This resulted in a savings of over $100,000/year in our electrical costs. The Board at Crown can highly recommend Sayler Design without reservation.
