They quickly and carefully handled the delivery of the staging furniture, and brought all the necessary things to transform our home. Her staging services were an integral part of readying our home to put it on the market. They hung artwork, ironed linens, and did lots of rearranging. The results of Lotus Designs' efforts were eye-catching, clean and fresh, as well as comfortable. As for the business side, her contract is concise and her rates are reasonable. We will definitely be taking advantage of Tanya's interior design skills to help us arrange our new home. Her motto, "Awaken Your Space" is what she does. No nonsense, no drama.

She made rooms with limited space feel expansive, educated us on the color schemes, furniture sizes, and accessories to make our home feel cohesive. With Tanya's help, we were able to re-use many of our own items, in a different manner, to highlight the attractiveness of each room. Obviously, it worked because in the very first week of putting our home on the market, we received five offers. That is right, five offers! The experience made an impact on me as I think about her words of wisdom when making our new house a home!

He got things done for us in a very important high-profile Job off Melrose and helped advise some of our helpers on how to properly finish certain aspects of the project. He has a lot of insight, which I assume is from many years of electrical and sign work experience. He was an important part of the team in a highly complex, multi-contractor enviorment and we highly recommend him for any electrical or sign job you may need. He is an experienced tradesman that brings a lot of value and experience to any project he is involved in both on installation and planning side.

He was extremely reliable and honest and super nice to deal with. We are very glad to have been able to do business with Bob for such a long time and highly recommend him.

We simply cannot say enough wonder things about office 42.

They were cost conscious, professional, hard working and a delight to work with. When the city tried to throw up road blocks the went to battle for us.

We would absolutely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a fantastic architect!

They also surrounded themselves with crazy talent so you are getting the A-Team no matter who you are working with at o42. You typically have some good and some bad in any business relationship, but with o42 I can't say enough good things about working with them. The only bad thing I could remember (and this took a lot of digging) is that Ben doesn't wash his fruit before he eats them. Weirdo. We had an idea and a vision, and Stephanie was able to incorporate all our crazy (cheap-ass) ideas and transform a 70-year-old shanty of a building into a warm, secure, and striking preschool. Everything we wanted, they delivered with the extra added level of attention that can only be produced by people who genuinely care. In addition to the design of our school, the o42 team was also tasked with leading our construction project. Anyone that's ever done any sort of construction knows that nothing ever goes as planned. There are always issues to resolve, landmines to navigate -- something doesn't line up, something doesn't fit, or something just doesn't smell right. Of all the things that o42 does right (and there are so many), this is one area where they really shine. Any time we hit a bump in the road, Ben would take a couple minutes, put on his "hold my beer" face and churn out 2-3 solutions for you; he'll give you the cheapest approach, quickest approach, inspector-approved approach,.... boom boom boom. They've seen it all, and they can handle anything. Our project took several months to complete and they had as much gusto about the project on day 150 as they did on day 1. Not only do they get the job done, they get it done with panache. Hire them. Thank yourselves later.

Found Letter Four online and read glowing reviews like the ones here... I should have looked…read morecloser. Having worked with them for 2 years, I now realize most of these reviews are either (1) 5+ years old or (2) from people who work there - Alex S, J M, etc. I spent about $120k and the last 2 years on a 4-bedroom remodel with Letter Four. I have *nothing* to show for it. No plans, no permits, nothing. Just a home that I cannot live in with some holes in the walls and ceilings (they just enough minor demo that I can't live there and then they disappeared - fun!) What I do have are shady invoices (they pad their invoices, double-charge you, refuse to send you receipts even after you ask 5x, charge you for everything they can with a 20% markup - Ubers, printing fees, software fees, etc). What really bothered me is that they pay their Project Managers almost nothing and then they charge you $200/hr for those PMs work. When I tried to do calls with them to understand the invoicing, instead of listening and admitting their mistakes when they very clearly double-charged me for the same things - they yelled at me. The owner Jeremy talked over me the entire call. (To his credit, he did apologize for not letting me get a single word in - he said something like "I've been told I do this to women"). If you want to work with two really arrogant people who want to talk a lot about how great they are and how right they are but won't listen - by all means, sign up to work with these folks. The work itself isn't just subpar and sloppy - it's actually unusable. They were constantly making mistakes - you'd send them measurements and then get the plans and everything would be the wrong size. I never got a window schedule that had windows that matched the plans. They never got approval for a permit for the plans they created. They made so many mistakes, it's laughable. I hired a new Engineer and Contractor who both can't stop cracking up about Letter Four's work. "This isn't even to scale! Look, they have the downspouts at the highest points of the roof! Look at this - that part must be a joke, right?!" For the prices they charge and how arrogant they are about their experience, they deliver really sub-optimal work. They claim their high hourly fees and high-end rates will make your remodel easy for you - but I found that working with them is 5x more work than with my new contractor. (Message me if you want his info - he's *amazing*). Finally, their design aesthetic is really cheesy. It doesn't match any of the photos in their portfolio. All their design proposals felt something you'd see in a cheap flip. It was a total waste of money to pay for a "design + build" firm because I ended up designing every inch of it myself. Another reviewer called them "awkward" and I 100% found that to be the case. Their online portfolio is great, but actually working with them is a total nightmare on every level. Most people don't love their contractors - but you will LOATHE these people. I guess if you want some cool horror stories about your remodel, this is the company for you!

There were a few problems, like cabinet damage during manufacturer shipping, and two different drawers that needed slides replaced. In each case, the interaction at the store has been easy and friendly, and the problems resolved swiftly.

I later found out that the emails were going to employees that were no longer there. The staff is friendly, and if you drop by the store, the owner will personally greet you and make sure you are happy.
