Please be advised that this company requires a $ 500 retainer and assurance that the design job will cost a minimum of $ 5,000 before they will accept you as a client. Since I had received postcards from them advertising their business, I stopped in to ask about replacing some window coverings on a set of french doors. The first designer referred me to Anita, who listened, seemed shocked, and then announced their fee policy. However, she said, since they apparently had done work for the prior owner of our house, perhaps the third designer in the office would like to take the job. That designer refused, citing their fee policy, and couldn't even recommend another company. I left feeling humiliated, as if I should have known that they don't do "small" jobs. Perhaps their advertising should mention these fees. I certainly will not use their services in the future, and I will not recommend them to any neighbors or friends. read more
