We highly recommend MOTIF for your special design-build projects. They are an amazing team and our experience with them was absolutely top-notch. They helped us re-invent our built-in-the-late-80's home and create a place that is beautiful, functional, and feels like "us". On the design side, they had both a high-style approach to design AND an ability to listen to and incorporate our ideas and preferences. It was a delight to work with them. There was also excellent communication between the design side and the build side, which made a world of difference to us as the homeowners. Once the build phase began, there were workers at our house every day by 8 a.m. (never seen anything like it!). The build team members were exceptionally respectful of our space, accommodating of our needs, and kept us fully in-the-loop as things unfolded (and were great with our dog!). Listen. Home renovations are painful and expensive. But if you want it done really well, in a very reasonable amount of time, go with MOTIF.

A local tile store offered free consultations, but having done that for our past bathroom remodel, I knew their expertise was narrower in scope and limited to what they had in stock. Enter Faris and her great ideas! She suggested a color to paint our cabinets that would tie into an existing island we had. She had an idea for backsplash that would coordinate, and also not immediately look dated once the current style became yesterday's hot new thing. I actually found a tile that worked even better than what she suggested, but I never would have considered it if she hadn't suggested that style, or introduced me to a non-local website. If you're considering investing in a $10k kitchen upgrade or a $60k total overhaul, I feel like this is money very well spent. I left our meeting more excited about our mini renovation that I ever was before. A word of advice and why I deducted a star...they are very strict about their billing, so try to be concise and not mess around during your meeting. I enjoyed her company and attempted to establish rapport, but all of that turned out to be billable time. The 7 minutes she was late; the time I took to make us tea; the stories she told about other clients; the time she took a call regarding another project...I was billed for the full time. I'm still VERY glad she came out, and I would hire them again in a second if we decide to undertake another project--I'll just be more conscious of time if we do.

Wow, I don't even know where to start! A remodel that touched as many parts of a home as ours did…read moreis so incredibly personal, and emotional at times, but from the first moment we met Crystal of TVL Creative, I knew I was working with someone who would hold my hand; and guide me with the perfect blend of love, creativity, passion, and experience. Our project was not a straightforward kitchen or master bathroom remodel, in fact it was just about every part of our home needing attention but those. And so the daunting task of finding someone who could not only take on a project of that scale, especially because we really didn't have a ton of ideas as to what we wanted beyond a few basics like "get rid of the dark wood (railings, doors, trim), update hall bathroom, total redesign/redocorate of family room, create a pool table room in our living room, and update the closet space on main level". That's how I explained it to Crystal via their website seeking a consultation after seeing the amazing work they did on a friend's kitchen remodel. And from the moment Crystal came for our initial, and free (!), consultation I knew I was headed the right direction. First, once Crystal came to the house, she walked through the whole project with me and my husband, took photos, asked great questions and offered interesting ideas to gauge our design personality. Then she followed up with a complimentary 3D photorealistic rendering of what our pool table room could look like (which we ended up making pretty much no changes to!). We knew from that point that we were all in with TVL!! Their pricing is super flexible, offering their services hourly on an a la carte basis. But even though it's hourly, they tell you how long they think it will take and that's all you pay, so they can't gouge you unexpectedly. With the a la carte, you can choose just their design services, and/or material purchasing and delivery management and/or staging, assembly & installation, and/or contractor recommendation/alignment, and/or project management and site visits. Well, I hate all things design and wanted to be as hands-off as possible, so I signed up for everything!! We then set a budget for everything else and we were on our way! We started talking to Crystal almost 6 months before starting our project. But we filled our first weeks with lots of back and forth via email (my preference and hers), sharing renderings and discussing ideas of what we wanted our family room to look like. By the third rendering she had nailed that design down for us. We then locked down the design details of the other parts of the project. Then began the fun of shopping and ordering all of the beautiful new things. Crystal understands how timing works for things like a custom order couch, and since she knew we had some pretty specific criteria including the need to actually be able to test it out in person, she began the hunt for our perfect couch plenty early. And she found it!! That was the beginning of many successful shopping missions Crystal accomplished for us; both in stores and lots online too. She confirmed all purchases with us before buying, provided us with receipts as well as a spreadsheet tracking all expected and actual spending to assure us our budget was still on track. Crystal was reassuring every time I started freaking out about this or that. She was patient when I became obsessed with finding the *perfect* console table, such a small piece of furniture in the grand scheme of everything else but she made it her priority to find me that perfect table with a smile and good humor. Once the time finally came to start the project, it could not have gone any better!! Everything from our contractor she recommended, to the painters and the carpet install, to the tiniest of details-she attended to them professionally and with a genuine desire to act in our best interest. Our project was completed in the expected time frame, and her team killed themselves to ensure we'd have our home done and ready for a New Year's Eve party. There were a few follow up items like returning/replacing broken or incorrect deliveries, and Crystal handled it all with such grace and was fully committed to the very end with us. Most impressively, we ended up UNDER BUDGET! Not by a ton, but without sacrificing any of our needs and wants, we still had a little money left over at the end! How often do you hear of a remodel that is ON TIME and UNDER BUDGET!? Not often, because they didn't have Crystal and TVL guiding them every step of the way. Also, keep in mind they work with ALL budgets, so while other contractors or designers might scoff at your budget or if you think there's no way you can do what you want on your budget, I encourage you to contact TVL to find out for yourself. They take a fresh approach to design and construction, and are nothing like any design firm your mom (ha, or my mom) has every used!!

We just wrapped up a large project with Lindy Design Build that included a master bathroom remodel,…read morekids bathroom remodel, and enclosing a vaulted ceiling on the main floor to create an additional upstairs bedroom, en suite bathroom and upper floor laundry area. The entirety of our upper floor and most of the main was updated with paint, flooring, etc. This was all completed in less than 4 months! They gave us our dream design on time, on budget and with a beautiful final project! We loved our home before and are enjoying a beautifully update space that suits our family so well. My husband and I are so glad we trusted our home to Lindy's expertise. Here are some things that set Lindy Design Build apart: -Thorough pre build process: the feasibility study is an invaluable tool to explore layouts and scopes of the project. We were presented with 3 layout options for our project that the Lindy team was able to hash out with us before we selected a floor plan to move forward with. Ashley took our inspiration pics and created a design that was spectacular and unique, while capturing the elements we loved from the inspiration photos. The plans, product procurement, permits and approvals were thought through, organized and in place before demo even began, which is a very thoughtful approach. -Full scope and firm estimate solidified BEFORE demo: we were able to "value engineer" in some places, as suggested by Lindy, in order to meet the budget and still achieve our desired design. We really appreciated how much time is spent in pre-construction firming up the allowances and budget so that there is no surprise billing later. The client knows up front what to expect to pay and at what specific construction interval each payment is due. -Quality of their team, contractors and sub contractors: we lived in our basement throughout this project and felt completely comfortable with (if not completely fond of) the Lindy team and the sub contractors working on our home, especially with us being home during all of it. They were incredibly respectful of our home, and of us living in our home during the remodel. The contractors and subs seemed to be highly qualified and experienced in their fields.

The quality of the work has been outstanding, and we couldn't be happier with the way our house turned out. Ashley and Lars make a point to get to know each of their clients and really listen to what they want to accomplish to ensure the project not only looks fabulous but that it fits the needs of the families they are serving. We highly recommend Lindy Design Build!
