Interior Designer: Laura Koshel Details: COVID lockdowns reminded us what we love about our Chapel Hill home, and highlighted what we didn't. Topping the list: Our master bedroom; a sad and soulless room with a bed - equal parts beige and obsolete. Laura guided us, nay glided us through a collaborative design experience resulting in our dream bedroom. From the bespoke oak bed system with hand-tufted headboard to the full-wall remote motorized window treatments, she delivered us the perfect slumber chamber. The stunning lighting, soothing fabrics, and sexy sightlines make this our favorite room in the house. Decidedly luxe with a touch of swank, our new sanctuary all but beckons us to relax.

I consider myself to be reasonably adept at color, but knew this was going to be a challenging room, and Barbara helped sort it all out. She was able to determine how the room was going to be used and based on that, come up with colors that would match the "vibe" we were going for. She knows an amazing amount about color, types of paint, and other things that help in making good choices. She was very professional and she worked hard to help us find the exact right shades (we ended up using 4 different colors in the room). More amazingly, when one of the colors ended up looking a little more fluorescent than the paint swatch when it was on the wall, so she was able to tell us what tint to add to the paint to mellow it and it worked perfectly! We are so happy with our room. Given the expense of painting a large room, it makes so much sense to use a colorist and I would strongly recommend Barbara!!

We met with Lisa to discuss ideas on remodeling our 1990s-era bathrooms because we were unsure of how to proceed. Lisa was able to present us a new vision, rescaling our plans and saving us a significant amount of money while still achieving our goal of creating an elegant, updated look and enhancing the function of the spaces. The savings on our bathroom remodels will allow us to embark on other redecorating projects that we thought were beyond our reach. We are thrilled! Lisa has amazing insights into melding function with beauty, and she has an appreciation of and respect for collectibles and antiques, and how best to display them to tell our family story. She has extensive resources to help us realize our vision. We are looking forward to continuing to work with Lisa to enhance our entire home, thereby enriching our family life.

Now in 2025 after having a structural engineer come in with a reputable general contractor we will have a full report and estimate of repair to reconstruct the deck to make it up to code for the new buyer. A huge open wound has been exposed and Mike Germain has nothing to say for himself. The second photo is directly from the contract we signed and completed with him. We certainly paid and upheld our part of the contract. On a side note, at the time of the construction in 2020 I had completed an egg collection for an IVF cycle a few days before the crew arrived. We also had a close relative with dementia in a memory care unit that was going to be moving into hospice and the work that was being completed by Mike was so she could return home. There were a lot of concerns brought to Mike's attention and he basically deflected, denied, gaslit and pressed forward, and now here we are in 2025. Mike Germain finally responded after multiple requests to address the lack of permits and final inspection on our project as well as the problems coming to light. We requested his contractor's license number and he refused to provide it. This brings into question if he even has one. When he responded he created a very false narrative and explained that we were trying to rush the project to start and accused my wife of asking him to forgo permits. We were not even aware until last week that this situation was a far larger problem than we ever planned or paid for. This is extremely suspect! BEWARE!!!

The owner of this company does not have a license and works without permits to avoid oversight…read more I am unfortunately, only discovering this, 4.5 years after his work was completed at my home. We spent about $90K on a project with Mike Germain, the owner of West point designs LLC. During the recent sale of our home a structural engineer was called in to review some red flags on the home inspection report specifically regarding the three-story deck that Mike and his team built. I contacted Mike since one of the issues was a lack of permit with the county & assumed we could clear that up quickly with his records. Instead, when Mike (finally after attempts to reach him) called me back, he lied and told me that I asked him not to get permits. Which never happened. Even without permits, the deeper issue is that Mike Germain's team did not adhere to building codes, on a three story deck. Many issues were uncovered, all pointing to a complete disregard for building code in nearly every aspect of the construction. We had repair work done as early as 3 months after this company's work was completed. Had our front deck reinforced, repaired and even replaced some trex decking only 3 years after completion because the work was so poorly done & did not use proper hardware (nails instead of screws etc). We initially agreed to have the company paint our house & stain the new fence they installed but we ended the work relationship with them once the project was complete. I did not want to continue engaging him but after learning these details, I want to make sure others know and look into him further before hiring them!! I only wish I had known that he doesn't not have a license and did not get permits for his work, in order to avoid professional oversight.
