We used this designer's services three years ago for a bathroom remodel in a condo we had just…read morebought. She looked at the place, we agreed to do business and then we met at a tile shop to go over materials. There were a variety of missteps, including the tile selection, but the most inconvenient was that for the countertop she recommended a style of quartz that, as it turned out, was sold only in large slabs. We needed a small piece. Most of what the store offered came only in large slabs. When time was of the essence because of the contractor's schedule, we ended up going to a remnant dealer and making a selection from what was on hand. Overall, Karen showed a lack of attention to detail and seemed to disregard the financial "allowances" set by our contractor. I'd have posted this review sooner, but did not know she was on Yelp.

Hiring Karen made all the difference in the world!

Then when we said we needed a bathroom remodel the lady said "we only do whole house renovations" and literally hung up. Mindblowingly rude customer service, that came off as incredibly snooty and privileged. Despite being actual neighbors this was the rudest Interaction we've ever had with a contractor or renovator. Edit: and now I see other people have gotten just bathroom remodels done, not "whole house" remodels. Wow. We now know which company to tell people in the neighborhood to steer clear from.

It's hard to conceive how she transformed my dated bathroom into this spacious haven! We had an awkward entrance to our dated en-suite bathroom that had a garden tub and a tile shower with leaks. Somehow she took pencil to paper and voila! she gave us a bedroom with glass fronted closets that look like Hawaii and a relaxing spa-like bathroom! Widened doorways, roll-in shower and open design in the bathroom ensure that we will be able to enjoy our home as we age. Her designs, color schemes, and oversight of the project were phenomenal. And the design discounts from suppliers she passed onto us made her charges even more reasonable to boot. Bonnie is so talented and a delight to work with. We could not be happier.

Bonnie Johnson came into our lives in 2020 to "paint the kitchen." Those quote marks tell you…read morethat's not the extent of our projects. Oh no. We decided we had a gem in Bonnie and could do with an entire-house-makeover. So we took our interior from "growing children vibe" to adult spaces ready for grandkids. Bonnie was incredible. She helped us discover our style (mid-century modern). She used technology to help us visualize rooms that needed pulling together. We traipsed through carpet warehouses and pored over paint swatches. We did our own research to bring to her for tweaking. We let her do research that revealed treasures and tricks to make our lives easier. She really made sure each room had a good flow, that furniture fit our tasks, that the decor was an expression of US. Somehow she managed a complete makeover that we still love so very much. She's also friendly, a good listener, is patient and gentle (even when or especially when nudging us out of our comfort zones when we really needed it!), and has wonderful, creative solutions to all manner of problems. We loved hearing her knock on our front door, arms full of samples and photos and "our binder," which she left with us to use for future updating. She's just the best!

I vet major projects by reading reviews, which has made me write this one. After reading all the…read more5-star reviews (which influenced my decision to go with this company), I am baffled by the terrifically poor wall painting job Christine's painting contractor provided for us. That, on top of his over the top rudeness to myself and my spouse, just made this job one of the most unpleasant home improvement projects we have done. We had to have the painter return (which was the last thing we wanted) and Christine to rectify the numerous painting errors. He, once again, wouldn't even acknowledge us. Yes, there was a language barrier, but he never once greeted us when coming into our home, rushed through the job (he got "done" two days ahead of schedule) and did one of the messiest wall painting jobs I've seen. Yes, the cabinets look nice, but with all the cabinet refinishing companies out there one would think the finished job should be close to perfect. The owner never checked with us during the job and when we started to express our displeasure towards the end, she offered numerous excuses, defending her painter. We do have a lg Pride flag on our house and we are thinking perhaps the painter was homophobic. We don't readily go to that, but this guy's attitude stumped us. Christine did correct the problems but overall, esp with the amount of $ we spent, we highly regret not going with a different company.

Finding Jenn was like stumbling upon a winning lottery ticket. I recently bought my first house,…read moreundertook my first renovation project, and then needed to find someone to tile my kitchen's backsplash. Like any proper, clueless adult, I started with a Yelp search. I got quotes from 5 or so local tilers and also reached out to Home Depot to see what their pricing was. Home Depot was the least expensive but I was worried that their installers wouldn't be as attentive to detail as an independent installer. Jenn's quote was the most reasonable I received from an independent provider and so I took a chance and hired her. What separated her from the pack immediately was her level of service. Sometimes it's hard to get any sort of response from a tile company and Jenn was the opposite. She stopped by my house on a weekend to give me an estimate because I have a really crazy work schedule. Even before I officially hired her, she was already going out of her way to provide excellent customer service. We set up an install date, I bought the tile I wanted (we went with a matte, mid-tone gray subway tile from Daltile), and she went to work. Install on my backsplash took 1 day to set, 1 day to grout then she stopped by for another 15 minutes on the third day to do a final seal. She left the place spotless everyday and was always so friendly to me and my partner. The best part? Her work is impeccable. Holy moly, those clean lines! Her attention to detail is remarkable and she cut around every edge perfectly. I'm obsessed with her work and it really was the perfect final touch on our kitchen. I will absolutely go to her first for any and every future project we have. Also, as an extra bonus, she came in under her estimated price! Many others wouldn't be quite so honest but Jenn let me know that install went faster than she predicted and the final cost was nearly 10% less than we initially thought it would be!
