  Wendy Nobriga, ASID

  Wendy was so great to work with and I would highly recommend. She was flexible and understanding in that we needed to do our projects in stages. And still have more to do! She stayed within our budget which was important as well and is very upfront with hours expected. She listened to what we wanted and was spot on with her designs for our home that was right for us. She was incredibly patient as well and always very responsive to any of the questions I had.

  Diana Gourguechon Interior Redesign

  My wife and I wanted some direction on a current basement remodeling project, as well as some thoughts about future projects. Diana gave us some great advice. She was flexible in terms of taking into account our tastes and balancing that with our desire to sell the house within 5 years or so. She also came up with many excellent ideas drawn from her experience and expertise.

  Weshorn Design & Construction

  Weshorn Design was a life saver! I was just weeks from moving into my new residence when I realized the contractor I had hired for my bathroom expansion completely botched the job, failing to correctly frame in the new bathtub and floor. Wes immediately identified the problem which was causing the caulk to crack around all of my hand-picked wall and tub tiles, and outlined a thorough plan to skillfully repair the job. Instead of gutting the entire bathroom, he told me they only needed to remove tiles one layer above and one layer around the bathtub in order to frame it in again, saving me substantial costs. They also removed the poorly installed floor tile with sub cement boards, and installed new underlayment, that will last a lifetime. In addition, they suggested I install new tile baseboard which was left out of the former contractor���s mindset. They even sourced a new sink backsplash that matched my new vanity. I am beyond thrilled with my new bathroom! I trusted Wes enough to give him the keys to my house because I was not entirely moved in yet. One morning when Wes and his team arrived he noticed water in my basement and he phoned me right away to let me know. He and his men cleaned up the water and his electrician determined that my sump pump was shot and my electrical panel needed upgrading, something that my home inspector failed to note. I had another electrician look at the job and he was much higher than the Weshorn quote, and also tried to talk me into extensive work I did not need. In short, if you want a contractor that is dependable, honest and produces high quality work that lasts, I definitely recommend you give Wes a call. I would trust him with any kind of design, construction, electrical, plumbing and carpentry work. He is smart, very reasonably priced and just an all-around good guy!

  Neighborhood Remodelers

  Excellent. They provided weekly progress reports and updates so I knew exactly when and where my money was going. Their crew always showed up on time (or I was notified in advance if there were any changes). They did what it took to do a complete and professional job, including coming back weeks after the work if something loosened up or needed to be altered. Given the problems I have had with plumbing and electrical work that previous owners have done, for anything critical that i don't want to ever have to worry about again, I go to these guys.

  Neighborhood Remodelers

  Went great. On-time; kept me posted throughout the process and gave updates as to next steps. I also had made an on-the-spot idiot decision that needed to be corrected after installation but they were gracious and redid the work (for a change cost but was not over-the-top.) Very satisfied with the outcome. Have already shared their info with others who were looking to do work. Would definitely use again.

  Wilk Design Group

  After 35+ years in the same house, it was time to downsize and I couldn't have managed the task without Wendy's support each step of the way. Not only did she assist in determining which existing pieces would work in the smaller unit, she was immensely helpful in choosing the finishes for the new place, filling in with purchased pieces and the overall design and feel of my new residence. The final product allowed me to have a fresh start in a new place that immediately felt like home due to Wendy's amazing attention to detail for color, style, comfort and design. She is professional in every sense meeting both deadlines and budgetary requests. It was a pleasure working with Wilk & Rusch Design Group.

  In & Out Design

  I purchased the Angie's List deal for a 2 hour design consultation for $199.  Mary arrived right on time and was wonderful to work with.  I had a variety of questions regarding the interior and exterior of my house.  Mary helped me with all my questions including:
   providing color ideas for the outside of my house, suggestions on a new front door (she brought brochures as well as I had told her over the phone I was going to replace the door), and paint colors for my foyer.  We then walked through each room on my first floor and Mary gave great advice on furniture arrangements, accessories, window treatments, and arranging bookshelves.  She provided great detail including window treatment measurements, advice on how to hang the drapes, color suggestions, etc.  She also provided some good tips on where I could purchase items that would not cost a fortune.  She even followed up with me via email on some exterior painting ideas we had discussed.  I was very happy with how much we got done in a 2 hour time frame.  It was well worth the cost.  I would love to work with Mary again.

  Chi Renovation & Design

  The provider came to measure the space and had measured it incorrectly. We received plans, but it took several weeks. The final estimate came in December. We decided not to go with the company. They were not able to provide us with any design ideas that we hadn't already thought of ourselves.

  Department of Interiors Ltd

  Jo-Ann was very responsive in setting up the appointment and arrived exactly on time.  She asked in advance about what I had in mind and arrived prepared to address my project (choosing paint colors for several adjoining rooms).  Jo-Ann has a very pleasant, yet professional manner and it was clear to me that she was intent on helping me with my specified project and finding colors that I liked, as opposed to imposing on me her taste or choices or trying to "sell" me on purchasing more services.  That's an approach that is not always taken by other interior designers or Angie's List "Big Deal" vendors and I very much appreciated it!   Indeed, I've purchased other "Big Deals" from Angie's List and came away with the impression that I paid the "Big Deal" price -- not for a service -- but rather for the "privilege (?)" of hearing their sales pitch.  That was definitely NOT the case with Jo-Ann! 

  After the preliminaries,  Jo-Ann carefully studied my rooms and their furnishings.  She then pulled out her color wheel of paint choices and methodically (a good thing!) started with a general color palette and then gradually narrowed down the choices to four compatible colors.  All along the way, Jo-Ann reviewed her choices with me, to make sure I was happy with the direction she was going.  We ended up with four colors that I liked on their own and clearly worked well with each other.  Jo-Ann then promptly ordered larger samples of the paint colors as they arrived just a few days later.  I have them taped on the walls to "live" with them for a while and I am very happy with Jo-Ann's recommendations.  A very good experience indeed! 

  I haven't yet asked to see Jo-Ann's portfolio (which I'd want to review before embarking with her on a bigger project), but I liked our interactions and felt she did a great job on my paint color project.  I also liked some of her general comments on my living room arrangement, so I will definitely keep her in mind as a good choice for my next interior design project!

  Chi Renovation & Design

  Chi Renovation was a great company to work with. When I first decided to do a kitchen renovation, I got several different estimates. After looking at a bunch of different  reviews I ended up going with Chi Renovation. I?m glad I did ? they were very reliable and professional. I didn?t know exactly what to expect from a contractor so I thought they would only help with the kitchen remodeling part, but I really needed help with the design part too. They were very helpful and had a lot of great ideas about what I could do. They were organized and started by showing me different samples. With their assistance I chose great dark cabinets and also chose to use the same granite for the countertops and backsplash, which gives the kitchen a very sleek look. They are wonderfully skilled contractors and they really did a beautiful, clean job. Just as importantly, they were very honest and I really felt like I could trust them. If I ever do another renovation I will definitely go with them.
