We came to Lindsey Jones, Aligned Design, via a contractor with 5 specific elements that we wanted…read moreto include in our non-buildable blueprints. From day one of the initial phone call with the contractor through the first meeting with the contractor and then the meeting specifically with Lindsey Jones, we iterated these design features that we felt key to our kitchen remodel. We even had pictured examples printed out and posted up of the ideas we felt most important to include in our kitchen remodel. During the meeting with Lindsey Jones, the contractor inspected the structure of our home and confirmed that the modifications to the structural supports could be completed to extend a beam across the roof line and remove a post and bar. My husband and I were excited to move forward with extending a beam across the roof line as well as removing the post/bar to open the space so that we could expand our laundry room and further maximize its space to include mudroom features. Along with these major renovations, we had a few other needs for our kitchen redesign. Lindsey sent over 3 options of blueprints that completely ignored all 5 specific design elements that we wanted included, specifically extending the beam and removing the post and bar, adding small appliance storage shelving, a counter space in the laundry room and half-depth counter. Even after longer discussions about the importance of these features to us, Lindsey ignored our requests and delivered plans that didn't include any of those features from the meeting/s. While I welcome the consideration of other design features that had been suggested by them, we did not waiver on these 5 specific, important design elements as part of the kitchen remodel. Upon receiving the incorrect design options of non-buildable blueprints, we had sent feedback with specific drawings that included those elements that were missing. After sending our feedback November 26, 2024, we gave them weeks to get back to us. Upon hearing nothing, we sent a follow up email and received a response that they "would answer our email the following week". But they still did not send over the correct plans. We sent another follow up email 1/5/25 with no response. Called 1/16 and left message with no response then called 1/20 and spoke with them where they said they would have the plans complete 1/23. With no response, we sent another email requesting an update and completed plans on 1/28. Although they gave us several reassurances by email and phone that they will "get us something by the end of the week or the following week", they never produced anything nor updated us. We paid them $840 in good faith that they would deliver designs that would meet the discussions we had in our meeting. We are very disappointed and frustrated to have paid Lindsey Jones just to receive project plans that don't include anything we contracted them for. This really puts a stain on our experience with designers and contractors. I have heard horror stories from friends about their experience of paying for contracted work just to have poor quality or delayed deadlines, this just adds to that narrative.

For 10 years I thought of adding an ADU to my property. Meeting Lindsey was so helpful. She knows…read morethe ins and outs of what is allowed. The bonus is how intentional and thoughtful she is about every element of the design. I had ideas of what I wanted and she asked the right questions to create a space for me that what just right for me. She guided me through the design process with ease and patience. She is so intentional about every element. She works to design things to be efficient and eco friendly and knew just where to place windows for the best effect! She cared about my design as if it would be her space to live in. I love my ADU! It feels like it is so personally my space, thanks to Lindsey at Aligned Design. Every time I look out the windows, I am so grateful for her attention to detail. I wouldn't have thought the size and placement of the windows placement and size mattered so much, but it is the first comment that people make when they come in my new place. Lindsey is the absolute best. Take the time and spend the money to have her design a space that you will love! You will be glad you did! She made my dream a reality!

Unfortunately, after restarting my service after a break during the pandemic, there was a serious incident during my most recent cleaning that we were not able to resolve to my satisfaction. As a result, I have severed my relationship with this company.
