Interiors…read more From the moment I sat down with Anna Lisa, till the time my renovation was completed she was an absolute gem. From the begining I had an idea of what I wanted my kitchen and living area to look like... But it was her patience in countless design sessions that helped bring the renovation to fruition. What caught me off guard was the intricacy of the her tile work in my master bath. When I saw her renderings I was just shocked with the level of detail... It felt like art and transformed a very ordinary bathroom into something everyone can appreciate. It's clearly one of her greatest skills from what I can tell. Previously I had visited two other companies and both times found them to be impersonal and impatient : ( I don't think of myself as demanding, but when your dream remodel is on the line you want to feel that sense of satisfaction that it was done right! I certainly have this now and will happily recommend her. Strong Work and Thank You!

Anna Lisa is a brilliant architect and designer…read more We are currently in the process of a whole house remodel in which she is recreating the entire space, and increasing the square footage of our house built in 1927 from 1800sf to 2800sf, with all of the modern comforts while keeping the classic look and feel of the home. She is doing a wonderful job of incorporating not just our style, but our needs into the design. Anna Lisa is not only talented at the drawing board, she's also skilled at communicating with contractors and subcontractors for overall management of the project. She's adept at driving the project forward without cutting corners or sparing excellence. I recommend Anna Lisa Avelar and AL Interiors Design Studio without reservation.

I first used Design Matters in 2020 for a kitchen remodel. I really liked the designer's…read moresuggestions and knowledge of materials and suppliers. However, there were several problems along the way including mis-measuring the size of the sink (causing me additional return fees and time), not enough tile ordered for the backsplash (causing a week delay during construction), and not ordering the correct number of door knobs/drawer pulls (causing further delay in the completion of the project). When I started to plan for a bathroom remodel earlier this year my first thought was to select the materials on my own without the help of a designer. After visiting a few tile stores, I was overwhelmed and decided to use Design Matters again. Although the issues with the kitchen remodel were frustrating, I gave them the benefit of the doubt as that was during a heightened Covid period and the designer did not visit my kitchen to determine the details as often as they probably would have otherwise. I met with the designer at the Los Gatos showroom in the end of June to discuss materials, colors, and tile layout. I was not able to find a new vanity by that time, so the designer said she would look into one and get back to me with a suggestion. She did place the orders for the tile. However, after two months, and with the contractor starting in two weeks, I had not received any follow up on the vanity, design plans, paint colors, etc. I emailed the designer and received a response that she was out of the office and after several back-and-forth emails, over a week later I finally received the design information that was overdue. However, Design Matters completely dropped the ball on the new vanity and at that point there was no time to order one before the contactor started. No apology, suggestions, or alternatives were ever offered. Most frustrating was the lack of follow-through on the tile order. Design Matters had ordered tile from Porcelanosa in early July that was to take 8-12 weeks to arrive. Porcelanosa informed Design Matters of a two to three month shipping delay. Without any communication with me, with Design Matters told Porcelanosa it would not be an issue, even though they were aware of my construction start date. Not only did Design Matters not inform me of this delay, they offered absolutely no assistance or suggestions on how to solve the issue. Luckily for me, the staff at Porcelanosa was wonderful and were able to rush a new order for the tile with expedited shipping. Of course, I had to pay significant amount of money for the additional order and expedited shipping; again, without any remedy or assistance from Design Matters. I did like the design suggestions provided by Design Matters; however, the lack of follow up, accurate material ordering, or follow-through on the ordering caused me significant additional costs and time. I would not recommend Design Matters and will certainly not use their services in the future.

Update: Julie responded to my review on another platform. She did not dispute her numerous mistakes…read morepicking and ordering materials, or her refusal to deliver complete plans, or her refusal to estimate costs. She instead claimed that doing the job correctly was actually a premium feature that cost extra (beyond the $10,700 we paid), so it was our responsibility to find and correct her mistakes, and that she should have even billed us an extra $6,000 for time spent correcting her own mistakes. This also meant she claimed to have made $6,000 worth of mistakes on a $10,700 job. She then threatened to get lawyers involved in retaliation for this review, even though all that was needed was a sincere apology and a promise to improve. I originally gave her 3 stars and a balanced review in the hope she would improve, but her response made me doubt that she will.

We hired Jerry and his team in 2024 for a full kitchen remodel--our first-ever kitchen renovation,…read morethough we'd done other remodels before. After getting bids from three companies, we chose Creative Building Solutions because of their solid pricing and local presence. From the start, we felt like our business truly mattered to them. What stood out the most was their commitment to the promised timeline--something we hadn't experienced with past remodels. Communication was clear, and every crew that came into our home was professional, friendly, and left the space clean. While they don't offer design services, which initially made me nervous, I found Pinterest and Facebook design groups helpful. Whenever I had ideas, they guided me in purchasing the right materials and explained what would or wouldn't work for my space. Their expertise made the process much easier than I expected. We absolutely love how our kitchen turned out and have already hired them for a bathroom project, with plans for another renovation in the future. Highly recommend Jerry and his team! --Brenda
