We obviously needed guidance from a design perspective so rather than try and figure things out ourselves, we decided to search for and hire a professional interior designer, something we had never done in the past. Through various social networking sites and some stellar reviews we came across Tobi Brockway Interiors, and we were glad that we did. Our first meeting with Tobi was a great experience for us. We new right away that we wanted to work with her and had come to trust her judgement and intuitive design capabilities. Her services went beyond the design for our kitchen and keeping things within budget; most importantly, she ensured that everyone involved in the process remained engaged that can sometimes be overlooked especially when there are so many others being relied upon. If there was anything throughout the process that was not going according to plan, Tobi was quick to make any necessary phone calls or visit us at our home to offer solutions and/or alternatives to keep things on track. Her patient and accommodating approach when handling demanding and meticulous details is in our minds, unparalleled. Throughout the entire process we felt comfortable working with Tobi. Her professional concern and attention to detail ensured that the quality of work was nothing less than stunning. Tobi has a keen sense of detail and colour and her ability to transform ideas into reality is beyond compare. The completed kitchen renovation was certainly something we could not have imagined doing ourselves. Without hesitation and question we'll be calling upon Tobi and her services to assist us with our future ensuite re-design. John Port Dalhousie

LEX PARKER IS A CON ARTIST. There are SO MANY other designers out there.... just call one of them…read moreinstead. Originally I was fooled by the other (obviously fake) reviews. I had hoped that Lex Parker was a professional as presented... he is not. LEX parker is a con artist. After charging me an unreasonable retainer, and wasting three weeks of my timetable... the work produced was below the bare minimum of what had been asked for... yet allegedly had taken over 20 hours and the better part of the retainer. When I phoned Lex to call his attention to the poor quality of the work and the lack of detail... he asked me to give him some time to work it out. After wasting another 2 days... I received an email from Lex making excuses as to why HE felt that the work so far was ok... and that if I wanted the level of detail that I had asked him for... that I would have to now pay extra!!! In an attempt to give him the benefit of the doubt... I scheduled a meeting to try to give Lex a chance to defend the poor work he had produced... and to justify the amount of time he was trying to bill against an obvious hack/rush job. After 55 minutes of excuses... I returned to my office, only to receive an email updated statement of account stating that I had been charged another $1000 for the 55m meeting. (At a base rate of $110/hour?!?) At this point I understood that Lex was satisfied conning both me and my business out of the retainer... and never had any desire to actually earn my business,, meet my needs, or get the job done. Needless to say that everyone I have shared the details of this account with all agree that "this is no way to do business"... and that "something is really off about this guy." I hope that sharing the experience of my sacrifice and loss have saved you from your own. UPDATE: In response to their attempt to undermine the credibility of my review, Lex Parker and associates have attempted to paint a picture of me being an inexperienced and underfunded businessman who was unprepared for the realities of dealing with a so called design firm. LET ME ASSURE YOU that I am FULLY funded, and have since purchased a building in downtown St Catharines and continue to work with a team of PROVEN experts, including a PROFESSIONAL who does the design and layout for all locations nationwide of 2 major chains. EVERYONE with whom I have discussed my dealings with Lex Parker agree that "The dealings were fishy and suspect from the first moment" and "That is not how professionals behave." It was obvious from the prodding questions that Con Man Lex was asking that he was under the impression that I was under-funded. True to any con man, he did what he could to get the money he thought I had, (as per the above review), then distanced himself from me and became uninterested and unprofessional when he BELIEVED that i was not in a position to be fleeced for funds further. I couldn't care LESS about the other reviews (none of which are longer that 2 sentences, one of which is 6 words)... they may be schills or people who didn't understand that they were taken advantage of, or were 'sufficiently funded' such that they wouldn't be as inclined to scrutinize Lex's practices or hold him and his team to account. I can only speak from my personal experience as someone who is committed to realizing a vision, and has accountability to my backers. Subsequent to my interactions with Lex and Co. I have had the pleasure to interact with REAL professionals with INTEGRITY, and my experience with Lex serves as a benchmark for what to AVOID when dealing with others. In a few years when it comes time for my second and third project, Lex Parker will be just a cautionary joke that I share with the true professionals that I continue to encounter and build positive productive relationships with. ... DO you really want to invest the TIME, ENERGY, MONEY, and STRESS to find out if he will behave differently towards you? There are SO MANY other designers out there.... just call one of them instead.
