I felt very comfortable with her as she followed all the safety measures possible. She worked with both my husband and I to organize our three closets which had become overwhelming after a stressful move. She was prompt and attentive to our everyday lifestyle and made things easy to spot. Katherine was sooo focused at getting the job done not even my two small dogs could distract her! (She was very sweet to them) I hate to say this but I wouldn't mind having a little clutter just to have her back! It is very obvious that she has a true passion for this and you can tell by the way she does the job. Best way to start the year!

This was an awful experience. I went off of an old recommendation on a neighborhood facebook group,…read moreand I looked her up. Her website was pristine. I reached out to her, and she made all the right promises - she's an expert (specifically with respect to paint), she has more than 15 years of design experience, she talked about other projects she had done. I thought I had done my due diligence, so I signed a contract with her and spent $1000 for design services. To say the least, she was not an expert, and she did not handle herself professionally or even appropriately. She was distracted and brought nothing but chaos to my house... and she claims to be a life coach of some kind? She came to a paint consultation with an iphone and a magazine, no samples or swatches. No discussion of what I have versus what I want to keep and acquire, undertones, light, windows, etc. Nothing. When she left, nothing had gotten done, but she said she "knew" what I wanted. For the second paint consultation, we were supposed to be putting paint on the wall. Instead of bringing liquid paint samples, she pulls two paper samples out of her purse that looked like she had grabbed them out of a drawer. I never saw trim or ceiling paint. When I asked her if she had a chart with paint finishes (because she didn't even know the different paint finishes or the proper recommendation for old walls), she yelled at me that she's not being paid to run around town. So she refused to do anything else that day because she had so much to do in addition to dealing with me, and that she was going to be suddenly unavailable for the next two days. At this point, painters had been at my house for 3 days, house in shambles and we still hadn't picked paint colors. And she was ribbing at me for being anxious. I have messages to her telling her I wanted something calming on the walls. I ended up with a griege that turns pink and orange after 3pm. After, I told her I just needed space from her, she shows up at my house uninvited, she wanted to just fix it, we gotta fix it, I have to be happy. "No, *I* have to fix it; you need to go." Just awful. The whole experience was bizarre, chaotic, and definitely what not would someone would expect from a business called "Simplify with Di." Do not recommend.

I don't usually write reviews, but I can't say enough about Broad Creek and the owners and staff…read more When I decided to remodel my master bath, I interviewed several contractors because we were not completely satisfied with a previous job. From the start I was very impressed with Broad Creek. The owner Jimmy came out to do the initial estimate, which was by far the most reasonable. From the moment the contract was signed, to the completion of the job, I was more than satisfied with the experience! If there were any concerns or worries, they were quickly addressed. Between the owners, Jimmy and Michelle and their secretary Stephanie, the whole project went smoothly. The professionalism and care of the company and their staff made the experience free from the usual stress! The results were beautiful, and I would highly recommend this company.

Should Customers Accept Less - Jimmy sold us the sizzle and we were excited to get this going and…read morehopefully have it partially done before we had visitors flying in on 9/10/26. Eric (part owner) is the field supervisor and unfortunately here's where the problems start. 1- installed incorrect sliding door- We were upsold to a mid-level quality sliding door and when we looked once it was installed, we noticed it was the lower model door. At first Eric tried to say it was the correct door and thankfully the details of the door were in the contract. We said we would be willing to accept the door, since it was already installed, with the trade off of other small things that needed to be done. Fortunately for us it rained that night and the next morning we noticed water on the INSIDE track. We mentioned to Eric that we felt uncomfortable with this door and just wanted the original one we purchased. Correct door is still on order. I wonder if Eric ever read the contract? 2- Owner has ghosted us- Eric at first was responsive but it seems he changed the more we started telling him about the problems with the install. It almost makes us feel that we're in the wrong for pointing out the flaws in the workmanship. It's very uncomfortable having to be the person that points out what is not acceptable. When we make our payments we don't expect them to accept "less" money so why should we accept less. My wife texted him Monday morning 9/28/26 with other issues that have come up; sewer smell coming from underneath the sink and us getting together regarding some of the cabinets because they forgot about a bulkhead which impeded the install of the original design and now things need to be redone. Again, not our fault but we sure get treated like it is. As of this post he has not responded to this text. 3- workmanship for painting and drywall- I've had to point out numerous locations where their drywall work needs to be touched up and paint that runs into other color paint, but now there are spots on the wall where the touch ups have been done. Again not our fault but such a headache. I wonder if they don't see these issues when they're initially doing the work or they think, it's good enough. 4- Take pictures, if you're keeping your appliances take pictures before they show up. When they install the new cabinets and vanities, etc take pictures. We installed a new 800-dollar vanity in our downstairs bathroom and I was in there with Eric when he was making the plumbing connections. I looked the vanity over and noticed it was fine. A day or two later they worked in the bathroom and they nicked the vanity door. Now there's a white nick on the new blue vanity. 5- Eric has told my wife that he would bring us tile samples for the backsplash, never came through. We had to make an appointment with Jimmy and go to his showroom. At this point we almost feel defeated and we are convincing ourselves to accept less just to make this go away. Good luck if you decide to go with this company. We've already been asked by family members if they should use Broad Creek. My response is, if you were my enemy I'd still convince you out of it. 6- Well, at a minimum they still have backsplash, sliding door, cabinet area where the bulkhead is located, sewer smell, trim around island and punch list items to finish up. This means they'll be working around finished cabinets, walls, floors, etc. I will provide an updated once it's all complete. Wish us luck.

In this case I had to renovate and sell a property from afar on behalf of an ailing family member who lived on the other side of the country. From renovation to staging to marketing to sale, Cathy and her capable team fulfilled every promise made with outstanding professionalism from start to finish. What's more, she generated multiple, incredibly high-quality offers and ultimately concluded the sale at a price that was more than sixty- thousand dollars over our original price and indeed tens of thousands over even my most optimistic expectations.

And we were thrilled that she took a chance and staged our art-infused condo in all of its colorful glory, instead of neutralizing it. We realized early on that we were in the hands of experts and did our best to support her team -- or just stay out of the way. Cathy brought us five solid offers and in just six days we had a contract for an amount well over the listed price. We were more than happy to share a portion of what we received over the listed price-- without her team's advice and staging, we don't think we would ever have received so many good offers, so quickly. If you are someone who can step back and let the professionals work their magic, you will find Cathy and her crew downright amazing.

However, once they got my signature and deposit it was like pulling teeth to the get the actual project scheduled. I'm also a long distance owner, coordinating the project. So it's especially hard not being in the state. I even flew to VA to chat with them but they ghosted me. Apparently only the owner of the company, Rafael, can only schedule projects on Fridays but he's not available most Fridays to chat. Not the person you start the project with. She can't schedule projects. I really regret going with FKBD for the project. I especially regret it because I paid a premium for the labor, and decided to go with this company vs another younger, cheaper company (VA Creative Renovations - Chris is great - check them out) because I thought they would be on top of the project and get it done quickly and get it done well. Apparently not. There was a lack of follow through and communication. When I did ask for timing and submitted my tile choices with Susan, who was my project manager, she had to call over to Rafael, then he'd call me all grumpy for interrupting his day. Seems like there's a control issue. Then when the project was supposed to start there was an issue with the tile I originally chose, even though I had submitted my design choices weeks prior. They said there was a delay with the tile and they had to change the project start date. Meanwhile I'm trying to coordinate with my tenants. Luckily they are the nicest tenants anyone can ask for. All in all they did a great job on my bathroom - eventually. You just need to be really on top of them.

Either way we had to sell it quick. Karrina comes in and was able to get us a full price offer on the first showing of the open house.
