Her attention to detail is unmatched, and every picture is hung perfectly. When I was unsure about a choice, she either walked me through the reasoning or we reworked it together. Jameie and Len are true masters of layout, design, and artwork placement. Watching them work is amazing. Jameie has an incredible eye--she picked the perfect item for every space in minutes, something that would've taken me days. I highly recommend the A Prima Vista team.

I'll be honest-we were pretty overwhelmed at the thought of doing a full makeover for our home. We…read moreknew we wanted a total makeover for our place, but trying to find a team that actually handles the 'boots on the ground' construction side and the high-end design is way harder than it looks. After talking to a few different firms, Kanika Design just felt like the right fit. Kanika really listened to what we wanted. I've always been a bit nervous about using bold colors, but she pushed us (in a good way!) for a deeper color palette in the main living areas. It looks incredible. Kanika found us so many unique, high-quality furniture pieces that you just won't find at a big-box store. The biggest thing for us was logistics. Once the design process completed, their team handled everything - architectural, permit headache, and construction. Anyone who has done a remodel knows things never go 100% perfectly, but whenever an issue popped up, they were on top of it immediately. They kept the contractors moving and kept us updated on the budget and what was happening next. It's a relief to finally be done after 2 years and have a home that feels like us but way better. I can't recommend Kanika and her team enough. We're still obsessed with how everything turned out.

First off the address listed for Sonja Knutsen Interior Designs is wrong. Its actually 1110 15th…read moreStreet, Modesto CA 95354. Her work is very high end, but very worth it. She's so much fun to work with and is really serious about what she does. Great taste! She's a little bit quirky and off the wall at times... but that's just apart of her personality. She loves to work with colors... which can be seen when you walk into her office. The carpet is an orange color but it's textured kinda crazy! She's always busy and running around, but I DEF suggest her when designing or remodeling any house or room. Oooo and if you do use her, may I suggest looking through all her FAB fabric samples. Once I did, I couldn't help think of other projects I wanted to do.

I…read morewanted to update my kitchen to make it brighter and fit in with the style of the rest of the house but needed help with what to do. Shawn took a look around, listened to what I had in mind, and thankfully told me what would or wouldn't work. He picked a beautiful quartz counter top, gave me options to choose from for the paint, faucet and hardware. He has a great team working for him. They were respectful and trustworthy. The refinished cabinets look like new. They do high quality work. He made his best effort to get things done within the time frame discussed but, as with any renovation, there were some unexpected issues that led to minor delays and affected cost. I really appreciated how his main concern was that I was happy with the end result. Before and in process photos attached (forgot to take a picture of the final product and don't want to clean the kitchen right now).

We lucked out big time in finding Shawn and his team. After interviewing 7 options last Spring for…read moreour kitchen/interior living space remodel, we knew Shawn was our guy. We've now been in our finished kitchen and house for a few months and love it more every day. We still can't believe the transformation and beyond the beautiful upgrade across the board, his design and recommendations made it SO much more functional. From the design process to communication and his project manager/workers, everyone was a true professional. No kitchen horror stories and they finished exactly on time. There of course are small things that came up in communication between what we decided with Shawn (keeping our dishwasher) and what the workers on site knew about (tried to give it away 2x), but that is common in any project, and most important to us is every small thing we noticed/flagged was fixed without question. We've already referred Shawn to anyone who asks. He took our space from a very dated 1960s vibe to modern but with character, and a design that matches our ranch style home. Thank you Shawn for making our house feel like us!

Kristie is, quite simply, amazing. We hired her to design our older, outdated house that we…read morepurchased in 2021. It was a big job that involved a lot of people and moving parts, including a general contractor, several subcontractors, Kristie and us (the client). Kristie managed everything and everyone seamlessly. Her role included a complete "gut" and redesign of five bathrooms and two kitchens, as well as new floors, paint, lighting, fixtures and furniture throughout the entire main house and a guest house. She made selections, created design boards, and discussed the pros and cons of various selections with us without making it overwhelming. It was important to us that the houses be beautiful while still being practical/durable (we have a young child and two large dogs), welcoming, cozy and having a great "flow" throughout, and she absolutely delivered. Kristie has unique ideas, is incredibly creative, works hard to save her clients money and stay in budget, has great communication skills, and, most importantly, is a joy to work with. We highly recommend Kristie, you will not regret it.

Well worth the investment.
