This company has always delivered and at a high level regardless of the project size. Response time is quick, the work is impeccable, the customer service is of top quality, and the integrity has remained intact from the earlier days when I dealt directly with the company founders.

It has been with great comfort that I have recommended GOT Electric to others over the years, and have always been met with gratitude from those that ended up hiring them.

Our busy family of 5 is now loving the improved flow, additional storage, increased functionality, and gorgeous aesthetic of our new space. We really cook and our new space allows our 3 teenagers to peacefully coexist there while doing their homework or just enjoying some family time while we cook. Our girls especially love the banquet sitting created by Megan and Nadia. I've even caught the Varsity soccer team nestled comfortably around the table, catching a snack and some down time before the game. It truly is a warm and inviting space for all. After admiring Megan and Nadia's work on Houzz, I was overjoyed to know they were local to the Baltimore/DC area. Megan and Nadia were incredibly patient with us throughout the process and they respected our budget. We appreciated the options we were given to ensure we could stay within our budget while still achieving the desired final result. With a kitchen renovation, it's all about the million little details. At the home visit to survey our space, Megan and Nadia keenly noted suggested improvements to symmetry, sight lines, functionality, and flow. We knew immediately that we had picked the right team. The Aidan Design team and all of their affiliated professional associates helped us to navigate through the million details with ease. Even when the inevitable challenges arose, Megan and Nadia handled each one swiftly and with the confidence of seasoned designers. We confidently and wholeheartedly recommend Megan and Nadia for your kitchen, bath, or built-in project. You will not be disappointed!

For example, I thought I wanted the sink right in the middle of the counter, but they pointed at that with how much we cook and bake, it makes sense to put the sink at the end so we have a bigger stretch of counter space. They truly made our dreams of how we'd like to use our kitchen come true by turning what was a barely functioning kitchen closet into an open, useable, and comfortable space.

But in the end I realized that Chris had it right from the beginning. My living room and dining room space look distinctive and high style. His firm designed and manufactured customized leather love seats for my undersized living room. The love seats are gorgeous and so high quality. They were expensive but worth every single penny. There were some glitches in the project. I felt that the firm could be more transparent about the cost of ordering items through them versus ordering them yourself. It will save time and grief to order through them but it will cost you more money upfront. This cost is totally worth the convenience and, in retrospect, I would have paid it. But for cost conscious clients the firm should be upfront about that additional cost. Overall, I LOVE the design Zoltan executed for my project. I would use the firm again in a heartbeat. If you are looking for design on the cheap, Zoltan is def not for you. For distinctive, high quality design, Zoltan is an amazing partner for your project.

After doing some research and reading reviews, I came across Aqua-Bright. Their response for an appointment, their reasonable price, and communication were different than the other 7-8 companies I've dealt with in the past. Miguel showed up and did a walk-through, asked a few questions, and went to work. He put the system through a test run, we walked each zone to discuss my concerns and issues; and then he came up with a plan to make the irrigation system more effective and reliable. Miguel was very professional, efficient, organized, and very knowledgeable. As I watched Miguel make adjustments to some of the sprinkler heads, you can see the care, work quality, and caring attitude in his performance. It was as if Miguel was working on his own irrigation system. I cannot say enough about my experience, but I highly recommend them. Dwayne 5-19-2021I

Ten years ago, I hired Wendy from Dream House to re-decorate my townhouse in Rockville. I paid…read moreover $160,000 to Dream House for design advice, furniture, and accessories. At that time, I was very pleased with their work - so much so, I referred 3 family members and another friend - all of which also paid thousands of dollars to Dream House for various purchases. Two years ago, I reached out to Wendy again - this time for help when I purchased a second home in Florida. I spent $6,500K with Dream House on curtain rods, finials, rings, etc. and it ended up being an absolute fiasco. When the installer (whom I hired privately in Florida) arrived, he said the drapes could not be hung with these curtain rods because the drapes were too heavy. When I reached out to Wendy and Cassie, I learned they were both on vacation together in Spain. Wendy's response from Spain: "...how were we to know they were super heavy? We ordered rods for regular draperies." This response is from a woman who has 44 years of design experience? -- i.e. Wouldn't you inquire about the drapery fabric before ordering the rods and/or let a client know the limitations of the rods when selecting drape fabric? The drape installer left after I received this text from Wendy in Spain, "...I understand how you feel, but I worked very, very hard on this for you...spent hours on this. I've used all these rods before..I have never had an issue. At this point I'm on vacation and would rather not have to take care of this right now." Though Wendy admitted later that she should have never taken on my design project (true!), they only refunded me $1,100 for curtain rod hardware that I returned to them - indicating to me that the curtain rod company would not allow anything else to be returned since is it was custom ordered, and I also had to pay a 20% restocking fee. Disgusted, I asked Cassie to mail the $1,100 check to my Maryland address; instead she mailed it to my Florida home. When I requested that Cassie re-send the check to me at my Maryland home as requested, she told me she could only do this if I paid a $40 check stop payment fee. The moral of my story: Buyer beware! If you run into any issues, be assured from my experience that neither Wendy nor Cassie will take ANY ownership of the problem. Beyond a frustrating and disappointing experience from a once very loyal customer. My only solace is that I have repeated my horrible experience to many friends and family who will also never shop at Dream House again.

Mostly it is filled with oversized furniture which is a modern but comfortable take on higher end pieces. Me and my friend went to the back and sat on these amazing chairs that were electronically reclining. Cause I don't want to have to push with my back on the hair to make it recline. What am? An animal?! The woman who was very pleasant told us that the chairs could come in one of like 50 different fabrics and leathers. I sat on another couch before I left which was very comfortable. If I had a larger house, I would definitely stop by this store. I do like a lot of the patterns on the furniture. The customer service was great! I like the customizability! I do remember the prices were a little on the higher side, but probably level with other stores like it in the area. Also... I'm gonna be honest, I don't have the best gauge on furniture prices. I don't go furniture shopping that often, and when I do it's for vintage furniture. I wouldn't hesitate to stop back into the store to see the new things they have in stock.

I did not have a lot of design experience so I wasn't sure what I was looking for exactly other than I wanted it to look nice! Lena went over many different designs / color schemes / lay outs until I found some that I felt suited my style. She picked out dozens of high-end quality pieces that I know will be well used for many years. She is extremely patient, thoughtful and above all has very good style and instincts for how to make a space really come alive. You can tell that she really loves her work and that she takes each project, no matter how small, very seriously. I could not have been happier with how the place turned out and I could not have asked for a better experience than with Lena! I would strongly recommend her :)

The blinds are great for privacy since we are able to have the bottom portion of our windows blocked with the light coming in at the top. We always receive compliments on how well put together our home looks. We found it very beneficial working with Lena, not only did we get the couch that worked great with our house, but also got it at a excellent price given her up to date knowledge of where/what is the best bang for your buck. I would recommend Lena and her services as interior designer to anyone who just moved into a new home or if you would like to refresh the look of your current home.

Also my husband made it even harder as he didn't want, plain black with clear plain glass, which of course is most the current style. Both Lori and Tracey helped us out. We sat looking at lots of catalogs, checking online. We spent a long time in the store and they were very patient with us. We even found some that we liked, but they were super expensive (of course the catalogs don't have prices, they have to sit with a computer to assist) as we needed 7 lights even they knew that would not be a good pick and we continued searching. We eventually were successful, they ordered our lights and within a week they were ready for pick up. They recommended 2 electricians for us, one they felt especially suited our needs after talking with us. We got quotes from a few local electricians as we live further out, but we also got one from the guy they recommended: Mark from Monocacy Electrical & Lighting Services LLC. He was the most friendly and knowledgeable guy and fairly priced, we used him and were quite happy! Our lights look fantastic, we were very happy with the whole experience. Except the Ouch to the bank account, s there lighting is much more expensive than shopping at Home Depot, but there lighting is unique and fantastic. You get what you pay for as they say.
