After reviewing the scope of the project, it was estimated that it would take a week and a half to complete. Not only did it take over a month to eventually complete, the days that the team would work were unpredictable. On several occasions, as the team would leave for the day, they would tell us they will be back tomorrow, and then not show up. Or, they wouldn't be able to tell us when they would come next, and would surprise us a few days later. They ended up needing to complete this project after I had delivered my baby (original timeline would've been completed weeks prior to my due date). Additionally, we noticed there were a few design decisions that were made without consulting us, like the drywall of the shower/re-installation of the water gauge (it's now not flush with the wall and very loose) and the selection of tile at the base of the shower that doesn't match the floor. He had offered to come fix the water gauge, but after coming to look at the issue, he has not gotten back to us in 5 weeks. I had high hopes for this project, and while it still looks nice, the lack of communication made it really difficult to want to recommend Peter or use his team again for future projects.

One of 3 quotes received to install a dog bath in our finished basement laundry room. First it took…read moreseveral weeks and broken commitments and I finally received a quote for part of the work. 2 bids I received included all materials and were $7800 and $9500 respectively. The 3rd quoted was from Tom of Oak Design and it was $35,000 and I was responsible for purchasing all materials (in addition to the $35,000). Wow, you can imagine I was at a loss. When I exchanged emails asking for clarification, Tom explained "We are a larger firm with a larger overhead." We've remodeled several homes in Chicago, Fort Meyers and The Woodlands, TX and we used licensed, Bonded, Insured larger firms and we've never had such a discrepancy in bids. Granite this is a smaller job, but if they didn't want the job, why waste our time and theirs. I should mention the company did a large job for my wife's sorority sister so we assumed a fair quote. Beware...obtain 3 bids!!!!

I ordered tile from Heritage for 5 bathrooms in my home and was given a 8-12 week lead time. They…read moredid a 3D recon of one of the bathrooms and did a great job with it. The tile for 1 bathroom arrived on time, the tile for 3 arrived 6-8 weeks late ("because of the holidays"). However I am still waiting on tile for the last bathroom and it has been 5.5 months since I ordered it. I have emailed multiple people at the company, called, left voicemails and no one will tell me when my tile will be ready. The reason for me writing this review is that I am hoping someone at the company will see it and reach out to me since I have not had any luck getting anyone to message or call me back. It is a shame because the tile that we have received is beautiful, but give the insane delays and lack of communication I would not recommend.

This review is for my experience with the Viva Tile line, which we used for the floor of another room. We picked a nice pattern from their selection but the sheets arrived with a lot of tiles misaligned. Basically every sheet had some wonky tiles, whereas this style is meant to feature clean, geometric lines. It took a long time to get a hold of them to discuss and we'd already started installing the tile by then because we were in a time crunch and not sure whether the problem was fixable. When we finally connect with the manager he admits they made the sheets incorrectly but that there was nothing they could do because they had already been installed--a really poor manner of addressing their own manufacturing defects.

The vanity counter top & backsplash was loaded into my car unwrapped and partially cracked that they did not take responsibility for.

When I called to notify them of the issues I had, they never returned my phone call. Contact them via online chat to inquiry about ordering touch-up paint - a representative never came online. I received a text and email message that someone would be reaching out to me - never happened. In short, the WORST service ever. Little did they know I am a contractor and wanted to see what the customer experience would be if I did direct MY customers to them and put MY reputation forward. NOPE! NOT GONNA HAPPEN! I worked too hard to build my brand to have it tarnished by vendor who does not share the same customer values as I do.

I didn't even know this parking and the additional shops were here. But since we parked here so I could wander a shop nearby, I saw this one as I was wrapping up my stroll. It looked like a home decor/interior decorating sort of store, which I love since I like to look at beautiful things and imagine how lovely my home could be if it wasn't a cluttered mess. It's kind of a hodgepodge of stuff, from gourmet food items to jewelry to photo frames and other decor. I found bailene brand sea salt, so I picked some up since I can't seem to find this brand in stores any longer. They also had a few different brands of fleur de sel, which I considered getting but held off since I'm trying to avoid extra things at the moment as I prepare to pack up a house. They had vinegar de Banyuls, which I like and have purchased before and would have if I could remember what I used it for but again am avoiding unnecessary items to pack. I was welcomed shortly after entering the store but not pressured or anything. As I wandered with both a shopping basket and three month old in my arms, one the employees said she was happy to help me shop since I had my hands full; though I didn't need the help, I appreciated her offer. And something that's kind of cool is that they offer glasses of wine for purchase as you shop! Nice touch in this classy joint. I'd definitely shop here again. They had some really beautiful things (I've filed them away for when I need a photo frame). They carry seasonal items as well, so I would love to visit once Halloween has passed to see what they carry for the winter holidays.

We used Design Inside for our recent condo renovation, and we were pleased with our designer,…read moreAbigail. We had looked into three or four design firms and went with Design Inside because we got along well with Abigail from the initial consultation. She's friendly and had suggestions from our first meetings. Our remodeling scope was pretty basic (resurface hardwood floors, install new tiling, new lighting, new kitchen countertops/backsplash/hardware, painting, etc.) We weren't planning on taking down any walls or putting up new walls - hence "pretty basic" in our eyes! The initial few weeks involved back and forth with designs and occasional meetings with Abigail so she could get a handle on what we wanted done. Abigail was accommodating with meeting/phone times, and would often meet with us late afternoons or early evening. She created designs we had never thought of doing (enclosing in structural poles, wainscoting, etc). Abigail also was able to easily "read" my husband and I in terms of color schemes and we ended up choosing one of the first few samples of tiling and backsplash that she dropped off with us. Kudos for that! Abigail also provided us bimonthly hours summary / detail so we knew how much we were being charged for her services. She would break down the time she spent working for us by the minute and it was helpful to see where our dollars were being spent. From a "grand overall design", Abigail did a good job, but when we started getting into the details in the later phases, we did run into a few minor issues. I recommend ordering all materials / furniture / art yourself and not going thru Design Inside. With a little work on the intranet, you can find it cheaper, not to mention a lower delivery charge. We had a few material mix-ups with Design Inside - i.e. we received the wrong hardware; not enough tile or grout was ordered. Abigail's measurements for the den were incorrect so she didn't order enough tile / grout - her measurements for the wallpaper were also off, but this time we almost ordered too much. The invoice system used by Design Inside is a little confusing and you should pay very close attention and track your own expenses. It's hard to describe but trying to track all the bills and refunds with the invoices provided was difficult. Overall - I would recommend Design Inside and Abigail for your remodeling needs. I would just offer a bit of advice to double check measurements and order your own materials, but would still recommend the company. Abigail provided different designs and options that demonstrated her design skills as well as her ability to connect with us in terms of what our goal of the remodel was. In our eyes, that was key.

In addition, she directed me on where to invest dollars and where we could save. We worked on several areas of my home in tandem...living room, hallway, master bedroom and guest room. Not to mention storage ideas and thoughts on future bathroom projects. The process was seamless and easy. We put a plan together in a few hours and we were off to the races. One of the most enjoyable experiences in working with Katy was the ability for me to add my own personal touches along the way. She really adapts to her clients in terms of how involved they would like to be. For me, I had lots of ideas that Katy helped me bring to life, streamline and balance. And she also encouraged me to take chances with paint colors, fabric upholstery choices and more. My gallery wall is one of my favorites! I could never have measured and hung with such precision. And my reupholstered hallway bench is one of my favorite stand-out pieces. Thanks Katy! I love Katy's design eye, easy-to-work with attitude and desire to put her client's style into every choice. My condo is finally a home! Love it! I highly recommend working with Design Inside and I plan on doing so for my next projects!
