He knew exactly what the each of us wanted in the kitchen when we didn't really know what style we liked. Chad would text us pictures of cabinets and paint colors we might like and took our late night phone calls when we had questions. He even pitched in with demoing the kitchen! We can't believe how beautiful our kitchen turned out! It's better than we imagined! Chad paid close attention to all the little details and we can't thank him enough for creating a place where we spend so much time in! Please watch the episode to see it for yourself!

Our primary intent was not only to upgrade our kitchen and two baths but also make them more accessible for our son. Joan completely got it and embraced it.

It was overwhelming. We knew what we like, and had tried picking colors and painting swatches all over all walls to come up with a scheme that matched carpet we thought we loved. I had two other terrible experiences with companies who said they would do a color consult and in both cases we got the proverbial bait and switch. I am so glad I didn't give up the quest for the right firm, and found Phillips and Gilligan! Denisa came out and for a very fair price, about a 90 minute consultation later we had a full color pallet for every room in the house. She redirected us on the carpet colors and in the end we actually went with yet a different color. Only because in that short visit came with a full wall selection but denisa was great at explaining why things work well together and why they don't. She is great at this and gave us the confidence to take it from there. 90 days later we have a brand new home and Denisa saved us thousands in mistakes we could have made. There is no one out there in this field more trustworthy and easy to work with!
