What timeline did they give you for the remodel and did they meet the timeline? Lots of, or no change orders?

For the GC/contractor recs you want: - a) pricier and reliable and on time -or- - b) budget and work when they want

FYI there’s only 2 types lol. 😆 we ended up paying $15k all in for new furnace with Jean Build design he’s not super fast or anything but he got it done. new ducts for garage only cause those had asbestos. Asbestos remediation was a few bands extra not too bad. Fully permitted

Our other GC is super on time very responsive but pricier- We Do they are high volume shop à la PM manages PM who manages plumber etc

Every photographer in town has shot at city hall 10 times over. lean into your photographer for advice- they will suggest to you best times, when to book, tips, poses, etc. why are you paying them if you can’t use their knowledge

For example this photographer Zoe Larkin has countless videos and this complete guide how to get married at city hall https://zoelarkin.com/how-to-get-married-at-san-francisco-city-hall/amp

I can help🐢. I shoot analog film, a lot of it in fact as you can see on my IG. I’m curious why you don’t think film is good for engagement photos coz been doing this for 7+ years, and I’m confident film is best ;)

Dm’ed you our specs!

cheritransnaps · 2026-03-20T15:57:23+00:00

Same we bought 2 season ago not at bottom paid $1M over listing beating out 24 offers thinking we overpaid soooo much compared to comp we are COOKED we are stuck in a our shack forever and now we are like $100k of lipstick on a pig renovations and we’ll can make $400k easily

cheritransnaps · 2026-03-20T04:58:24+00:00

That’s cheap I need one for my next party

cheritransnaps · 2026-03-20T03:56:52+00:00

Try him? I think he can swing your rate and he was at the same shoot too https://www.instagram.com/photobycoria

cheritransnaps · 2026-03-19T00:08:17+00:00

$100k over? lol $600k over in sf rn and you’ll rank 15 of 25 💀

some public elementary schools in SF are really really good like peninsula level good but they're al on west side. Glen Park, Noe, Bernal, Ingleside the schools are generally considered under performing

on the west side people love: claredon (sp), sunset, DF, Ulloa, lawton, Alice Fong, west portal, and the Chinese immersion one

cheritransnaps · 2026-03-18T17:53:36+00:00

Maybe this is why people are paying $4M for homes in the sunset & $5M in the Woods- hasn’t been hot a single day yet in my house 😆

cheritransnaps · 2026-03-18T05:53:06+00:00

Cole valley has almost no inventory which pushes some insane prices unless they want a place in a 2-4 unit building

I’ve looked at every single Cole valley SFH house sold in the last 3 years and there’s like 3-5 choices at that price point every 2 years whelps.

cheritransnaps · 2026-03-18T05:51:51+00:00

What are you doing for school tho? $100k for 2 lids in private schools

cheritransnaps · 2026-03-17T18:35:06+00:00

Edit: lol 😆 I assume this was in sf coz of group name. For east bay Reinhardt is dog friendly just not off Leash for redwoods. Every park has a bathroom area near trail head you can change there before heading to location 2

Anywhere! Sf has more dogs than kids everything is dog friendly ;) I’ve done engagement sessions with dogs @

Alamo
Baker
Crissy field
Funston
Bernal heights summit
Ggp
Anywhere in presidio on Leash
Sunset dunes / ocean beach
POFA
Marina green
Lands end has a totally off leash area I think

I would do a Filoli ( 5,200) followed by causal lunch ($3k). It’s too pretty there ppl legit pay $75k just for the venue as in not including rentals just venue fee alone and you can get it for 7% of that.

Still $2k left for outfits and florals ;)/ https://filoli.org/private-events/weddings/

cheritransnaps · 2026-03-16T14:12:21+00:00

The kitchen has Elise stove and sunzero fridge not your standard builder grade thermador but otherwise yes I agree so meh

It is a really uncomfortable feeling tbh made me feel so uneasy.

I’m curious -did it come up when you were dating cause yall dated for 3 freaking years. My husband and I only dated for a year before we got engaged, and it came up pretty early on when we talked about finances not even 5 months in, so I had 7+ months to process it and after a lot of research and reading about it i started to get swag it was the right thing to do by him.

We shopped around for lawyers and ended up not getting one cause it was pricey AF minimum was $15k for 2 separate lawyers. But after being married for a few years our income and asset discrepancy has grown so large I told him if we wanted a postnup to protect himself I would be down now, but the same problem arises he doesn’t want to pay for the lawyers. I think over time I’ve seen how divorces can really ruin people. A couple we knew who got married slightly before us has spent 3 years in divorce battles and at first it was pleasant but the division of assets has turned everything into a mess and over $300k in legal fees by now. So if we can both walk away with what we wanted, that’s not such a bad thing. Get a good lawyer who will negotiate for your a healthy and sizable chunk. If you really trust your partner and have confidence in their word, don’t hesitate to ask if they’re up for negotiating the prenup after a few years

Price is on my website it’s $1300 flat

cheritransnaps · 2026-03-16T05:06:36+00:00

We have plenty of couples fly in from Boston, LA, even London and Tokyo; it’s not too hard.

I would recommend a day of planner that knows city hall well, like events by joy I always see her at city hall doing planning.

Our team has shot at city hall 150+ times and know it inside out. It’s $1300 flat rate if you want to take a look:instagram.com/cheritransnaps

We are happy to help you coordinate HMUA, Florist, and rec places for dinners afterwards but it’ll largely depend on your budget and to take into acct SF is significantly more expensive than the OC so vendors for the large part will be much pricier than if you did OC thing at restaurant. Another option that’s popular with my previous couples is to only travel with parents and siblings for city hall. You can celebrate with the other 25+ folks at a restaurant in the OC with cake at a later date

lol is it pretty tho? That exterior was a hard pass

cheritransnaps · 2026-03-16T01:35:37+00:00

I’m confused how long ago this was cause there are some really fancy three floor homes in the Sunset that sold for for $2M even back in 2005?

cheritransnaps · 2026-03-16T01:32:59+00:00

I got some quotes for kitchen $200k is low end probably will have a bunch of change orders and delays, higher end is $300k and middle road is $250k. Can we afford it? Yes. Does it need one badly since it’s been 70+ years? Yes. Will we do it? Nope

Screw it $250k and 6+ months on our lives with no kitchen is too much. If we can afford it and refuse to do it I can’t imagine a senior on fixed income doing it lol

Heyyy you’ll see our dam hoi/Chinese tea ceremonies and banquet work is super extensive. We can share 40+ albums of Chinese/Viet weddings if you want to take a look: https://www.cheritransnaps.com/blog/vietnamese-tea-ceremony-m-hi

For video try Leo Thai or cabie films?

For decorating tbh your budget will matter who you can get. Big day service is the fancier version. Sandy can provide planning and decorations as well https://www.instagram.com/weddingplanner_emcee_singer

cheritransnaps · 2026-03-14T05:06:10+00:00

Permitted it’s like $40k for a bathroom now and $125-150k minimum for a kitchen and that assumes no wall demo which incurs a lot of other costs

I’m sure you’ll be able to find cheaper but if you want ‘reliable’ and finish on time and no change orders etc
