She also helped me pick out quartz countertops and a backsplash. I had a general idea about what I wanted but definitely needed help with specifics. Lisa listened very intently to what I wanted and to my overall tastes. She chose wonderful colors for everything and provided narrowed down choices for the backsplash and countertops which enabled me to make easy decisions. Lisa responded very promptly to every inquiry I had and is flexible with her time, making scheduling an appointment with her very easy. I plan on redoing the bathrooms in my condo next year and will definitely be contacting Lisa for help with them!

I am a worrier and I stew about things, but by choosing Time2Design I slept easy at night during the whole process. I had to put myself in Carmen's hands because I could not be there to oversee anything. She gave me an estimate quickly, used her design knowledge to pick out the best carpet for the use of the space, and lined up her workers so she could give me a time line for the project that matched what I requested. She took care of small things that I wasn't there to do such as dry cleaning the bedding and keeping an eye on the work of the people surrounding the project. Because of the distance involved, she gave me updates to the project during the whole process with pictures to accompany the emails. At the end of the project she sent me a video walk through so I could review the work as if I were in town. I highly recommend this friendly, personable and professional business. I would work with Time2Design again.

Our experience with Coastal Life Design was excellent and we give them an unqualified…read morerecommendation. CLD did a to-the-studs renovation of our late-70's beachfront two bed/two bath condo, one with excellent bones but that presented significant challenges that would have stymied most general contractors. We knew the moment we walked into CLD's studio that Sondra and her team could convert our complex vision into a stunning reality. Sondra's turn-key design-build approach to project management was the secret sauce. We have completed six major residential building and remodeling projects in PA, NJ and MA, and know how unseen obstacles can present major time delays and significant budget overruns. Our HOA has a tight off-season construction window, and we had a hard stop on December 15. CLD's team met with us in January to discuss our vision, which they brought to life in three-dimensional computer renderings. When they encountered several fixed structural roadblocks using methodical investigation, CLD modified and tweaked the plan and met our budgetary and time constraints. Overseeing this from 1300 miles away in Boston, distance was a concern for us, given the time and expense of travel for meetings with CLD. Employing web-based technologies, in-person meetings were kept to a minimum. Cris rapidly secured required permits and a rigorous but attainable project schedule was drafted, with a series of hard completion targets built in. All town-mandated inspections were scheduled and passed like clockwork, thanks to Steve's excellent relationships with his subcontractors and his ability to creatively solve problems. We needed to approve only two minor change-orders for highly unusual and unanticipated structural issues they encountered. Cris regularly updated us on progress, sending phone images we requested after demolition and during several stages of reconstruction for future reference. He coordinated timely delivery and installation of new appliances with GE- the final stage of the plan- on December 14th. He even accurately allocated space for an under-counter wine fridge we had in storage but for which we had no make/model number. The punch list was minor and flawlessly executed by Steve and Ryan in just a few days. That's the value experience brings to the table. Our community's HOA board told us stories about other owners' stress-filled experiences renovating their homes. Our experience with CLD was easy and collegial. Sondra worked her magic in design and project/logistical planning. Cris executed the plan flawlessly. Steve managed the project so well that our HOA president and property manager commented on how respectful the team was and how effectively and efficiently the project ran. Rounding out the experience, Janet and Debbie in administration were also a joy to work with. As Sondra is fond of saying- no drama!

After meeting with several contractors for our remodel in Venice, Florida, what immediately stood…read moreout about Royal Remodeling & Design was their attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to go the extra mile. Unlike others who quickly said something couldn't be done, their attitude was always, "Let's figure it out." Our project involved moving walls, investigating structural and bearing walls, removing columns, a full kitchen remodel, interior and exterior painting, new flooring, doors, trim, baseboards, a new front door, and many upgrades throughout the home. Royal Remodeling & Design truly turned our vision into reality. One of the best parts of the experience was the design process at their showroom on Main Street in downtown Sarasota. Being able to see our project on a 3D screen and make changes as we went gave us confidence that everything would turn out exactly how we wanted it. Choosing cabinets, countertops, tile, wood plank flooring, and finishes in one place made the process incredibly convenient and stress-free. Once construction started, communication was excellent. We received regular updates, timelines, and everyone who worked on the home was professional, respectful, and pleasant to work with. Even when we asked for extra changes, the response was always, "No problem, we'll take care of it." The home was kept clean throughout the remodel, and we appreciated the thoughtful suggestions made along the way that improved other areas of the house we hadn't even considered. Watching Royal Remodeling & Design transform our 1980s home into a beautiful modern space was an amazing experience. If you are looking for a remodeling general contractor in Sarasota County for a full home remodel, full condo remodel, kitchen remodel, or bathroom remodel, we highly recommend Royal Remodeling & Design. Professional, knowledgeable, and truly committed to turning your vision into reality.

Royal Remodeling & Design Our experience with Royal…read moreRemodeling & Design was exceptional from our very first interaction. My wife and I were evaluating several Sarasota-area contractors for a complete kitchen remodel. We began with a shortlist of companies, but as we progressed through the selection process, several were eliminated for various reasons. We discovered Royal Remodeling & Design through a Google search and decided to stop by their Main Street showroom without an appointment. From the moment we walked in, Stan welcomed us as though we were repeat customers. He spent nearly an hour answering our questions, discussing our project, and helping us understand the remodeling process. We told him ours was not a large kitchen, although we wanted a complete renovation. Stan assured us no job was too small for them. By the end of that meeting, we had scheduled a visit to our condo for Stan to see it first-hand. After seeing our existing kitchen, Stan developed an initial design for us to review. We requested several changes that differed from his original vision. Rather than trying to persuade us otherwise, Stan emphasized that it was our kitchen and that we were the ones who would be living with it. His philosophy was simple: he would design and build the kitchen that best suited our needs and preferences. We found that approach very reassuring. Once the design was finalized, we were introduced to Viktor, the project manager. His confidence, professionalism, and extensive experience immediately gave us peace of mind. As seasonal residents, we arranged for demolition and construction to begin after we returned north. Because we are very hands-on and engaged, entrusting a major renovation to a contractor while we were away felt somewhat uncomfortable at first. However, Viktor's communication throughout the project was outstanding. He kept us informed with regular updates, shared progress photos, and scheduled FaceTime calls so we could see the work firsthand. The entire project was completed in approximately six weeks from start to finish. Throughout the process, nearly every conversation with Stan or Viktor ended with my wife and me saying the same thing: we had absolutely made the right decision in choosing Royal Remodeling & Design. We simply could not imagine receiving a higher level of service, professionalism, or craftsmanship. When we returned to see the completed kitchen, it was exactly as we had envisioned--and the quality of the workmanship exceeded our expectations. While our project may not have been as large or complex as some of the impressive renovations featured on Royal's social media channels, we always felt like we were their most important client. That level of attention and care made a lasting impression. We wholeheartedly recommend Royal Remodeling & Design to anyone considering a remodeling project. We would not hesitate to work with them again. Michael & Julie Wallace
