I spoke to a lot of renovation companies before choosing NYKB and honestly most of them felt the…read moresame until I met Maia. What stood out immediately was that she didn't just try to "sell" me a bathroom. She actually paid attention to how I live day to day and designed the space around that. She noticed little things I didn't even think about, like where lighting should hit the mirror, storage that wouldn't make the room feel crowded, and materials that looked expensive without feeling cold or overly trendy. The biggest difference with NYKB was that the process never felt chaotic. Usually when people talk about renovations it's horror stories, delays, and constantly chasing people down. I never felt that here. Everything felt intentional and handled. Maia somehow managed to make a renovation feel calm, which I didn't think was possible. Now that it's finished, my bathroom genuinely feels like part of a luxury hotel suite but still personal and comfortable. Everyone who comes over comments on it immediately. Looking back, choosing NYKB was probably the best decision I made for the project. Maia has an eye that's very hard to find.

But after meeting the team at A to Z Renovations, I finally felt confident I was in good hands. They were on point, punctual, and extremely detail-oriented throughout the entire project. Every step was handled with care and clear communication. The quality of their work exceeded my expectations, and I felt completely comfortable from start to finish. I honestly feel blessed to have found them. Trust is everything when you're doing a renovation, and A to Z truly delivered on every level. I highly, highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again in the future.

After meeting with several other interior design firms, my partner and I settled on Decor Aid to…read morehelp us combine our furniture in our first home together. He's more laid back, and I'm more on the traditional side so we were at a loss on how to make everything work together. Even more so, we were combining two different apartments into one - not any easy task considering how small apartments in NYC are. Mindy, our designer, was great at taking cues from both of us and working around us when things would get too complicated. Not only was she extremely helpful in helping us edit, but she also had some genius storage solutions for our small home. In the end we made the right choice, and we also made a great friend in Mindy. I recommend her and Decor Aid to everyone who comes over after they stop gushing over how terrific everything looks. And in case we ever move to a larger spot, we're definitely bringing them back on!

STAY AWAY. I waited…read morea while to write this review since I wanted to let my anger abate and I was busy with other things. But months later I feel a moral obligation to warn people about this company. If like me, you will likely read the reviews and the owner's responses and suspect that they are a good company and that the bad reviews are just from impossible people. But they quell the bad reviews with small payouts and gag orders (see the photo). They use contract workers who may or may not be able to get the job done. The discounts they promise never come true. In fact they quoted more than I would pay as a regular retail customer, for every single item I asked them about. (notice that they don't list the specifics of their discounts on their website...) When asked to come through on what they promise, they are unhelpful at best and often nasty (read the owner's comments on bad reviews to get a taste). When your project has gone on way too long, they haven't come through on any promises and you are at wits end, they may offer you a small sum to not write a bad review. I suspect that many of us, on modest budgets, take the money just to cut some of our losses. Before you get taken in by the good reviews and the pretty pictures, read the reviews again. Notice there are almost no reviews in the middle, only really bad and really glowing ones. The good ones all start to sound the same. Go to a website where employees write reviews and note that many say the company writes their own good reviews. See that gag order and think of how many people they silenced. I am out a lot of money and hope this review saves someone else.

It was a mixed experience working with Ward5 for full service design and project management,…read moremeaning, they prepare the interior design plan and then manage the contractor. The positive part of the experience was that they are creative and have a great aesthetic, so I feel we ended up with a house that we like the look of. In retrospect, it's not worth the money they charge for project management on a monthly basis to get there. I know this now, but I was a first time homebuyer and pregnant when I hired them, so I felt I needed help. Working with Ward5 became very frustrating towards the end of the project. Some highlights (lowlights?) were that the owner continuously promised she would order components for our custom closets, but failed to do so in time, so we had to buy Home Depot closets in order to have our closets ready by the time we moved in (which we said early on was very important to us and had to be complete before moving in). Also, some of the work from the contractor was messy/subpar. When I pointed it all out to the owner of Ward5, who had been managing the project, she tried to convince me I was just being picky and it was "acceptable," in her words (about some of the painting, specifically, and tiling). When I told her I wanted some things redone, she asked me to deliver that message to the contractor myself...but she was supposed to be in charge of that. So about a month or so before moving in, I had to meet them both at the house - still somewhat newly postpartum and still nursing around the clock - to deliver that news myself. The contractor was great about it and fixed everything I had an issue with. Finally, the move in was made more stressful by Ward5 being mad that we were basically in their way. The owner assigned her daughter to do the installation and I told her the date that we were having certain closets installed. She showed up that date and was angry there were "so many people" in the house. But she was advised in advance who would be there and when. She accused us of being in her way, essentially. Then she rescheduled the installation date and asked us not to be in the house from 8 am - 4 pm, which we did, but at around 5 that day, I had to run in quickly to grab some clothes for my kids. She was very upset and had a very emotional and unprofessional reaction, even though I adhered to her timeframe. So, overall, I wouldn't work with them again. I do think their real strengths are in the design piece, so I would have just paid for their design services, if I knew back then what I know now.

In short, do not hire Ward 5 Design for project management as they will charge you an arm and a leg…read morefor the materials. They are mean and not trustworthy. I regret so much hiring them. Below is the details... Ward 5 Design told me and stated in their proposal that their project management fee includes full trade discount access to their retail partners as they make sure I am getting the best price. Therefore, I hired them for full service at a rate of over $12,000, which includes design and project management. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw the material invoice at around $32,000 from Ward 5 Design. Thank god for google, I was able to find a lot of the same materials online at a much cheaper price. Ward 5 Design's price for some items are 73% more than the price for the same items you can find on Signature Hardware and build.com. Ward 5 Design charges a 10% shipping and handling fee on top of everything, which makes the 73% to 90% and Signature Hardware and build.com offer FREE shipping. I asked Ward 5 Design about the high price on the materials, they told me they will never honored any trade discount, instead they will charge a slight markup. I was so disappointed and mad that I was deceived by them. Because I did not want to overpay for all the materials, I decide to do the procurement myself (despite I am super busy). As a result, I was able to get better upgrades with the money saved. Ward 5 Design told me I have $4,233 outstanding in design/management fees, but they can reduce this to $2,500 (reduction of $1,733) as I am handling the procurement. And they will continue to do weekly site visits for 6 weeks with the contractor. Eventually, I decided to terminate the contract with Ward 5 Design because they did not effectively manage the project after I handled the procurement. No one from Ward 5 Design reached out to me to check on the status of procurement or any changes to the design plan. They also failed to notice a mistake by the contractor in the shower. Ward 5 Design told me that I still owed them $2,500 upon termination of the contract despite the fact that they would not perform the remaining 6 site visits. The contract required me to pay service provided up to date and a 10% termination fee. The 10% termination fee was $1,269.50, in which I was happy to pay. I asked for detailed evidence to support the $2,500 outstanding charge, but Ward 5 Design did not provide any. Instead, they insisted on charging me $2,500 and threatened to forward the full bill at $4,233 to collections and filing a mechanics lien against me if I did not pay $2,500 in 10 days. Under such threat, I paid $2,500 by the due date. I tried to get some refund back by filing a complaint with Better Business Bureau, but of course I failed to get any money back. Ward 5 Design responded to the compliant saying I had buyer's remorse and did not explain the lie of trade discount and instead charge huge markup on materials. This is not the way to treat their clients. I was very disappointed. I will not give Ward 5 Design any future business and will not recommend them to anyone.
