Laurie was detail-oriented and proactive in nailing down details like timeline, project specifications, and building access. She was eager to provide feedback, and always willing to refer to other experts as needed. Aull the Best completed both jobs efficiently, with loving detail and a clear respect for the property. It's a reflection of Laurie's sincere personal dedication to her clients, which is clear in every communication. If you need to be home during the work, the whole Aull the Best team is great company.

Shay and his team did excellent work. We highly recommend for your remodeling needs. We had Shay…read morecome over for a consultation for a few projects. With his advice and guidance we decided to have him remodel our pantry, add cabinets, shelves and outlets to our laundry room. After his initial consultation he sent us to go pick out materials. After selecting materials he then met us at supplier to go over everything we wanted. Set up a 4th meeting at our home to go over everything and get quote. A few days before installation he and his lead stopped by for final measurements and planning. During entire project Shay stayed in contact and stopped by every day to ensure projects were on time and we were satisfied. Project was completed on time and to our complete satisfaction. We will definitely use A to Z on our next projects this Summer. Without any doubt use Shay.

They came to our home, reviewed the space, and provided a very fair quote--no surprises or hidden fees. But what really stood out was how personally involved they were. They didn't just send a team and disappear--they partnered with us every step of the way. They helped us design a brand-new bathroom layout, came shopping with us to pick out every item we needed, and made sure we felt confident about each decision. Even on days when their expert crew was doing the work, Shay and Jake checked in, communicated clearly, and ensured everything stayed on track. The craftsmanship? Exquisite. Every tile, every fixture, every detail was done to absolute perfection. The transformation is unbelievable--we still can't stop smiling every time we walk in! We're so, so, SO happy with the outcome. Without a doubt, A to Z is the only team we'll ever trust with home remodeling. Thank you for making our dream bathroom a reality!

This is a way overdue review, but this company was one of MANY I interviewed to have a far better…read moreidea of what was best to be done, the kind of paint used regarding stain or various grades of paint, the longevity of their work, and just getting a sense of what sort of people will be working on my house. I learned a lot more than when only interviewing one or two companies!! These people were not only kind, they were patient with all my questions and concerns when in person or email, etc. Shawn, Jennifer and David couldn't have been more professional yet also so kind that I felt as though they were friends coming to paint my house. Painting outdoors shows colors in different ways than indoors!! So selecting the right color was more difficult than expected. Another company almost cost TWICE as much but they offered more services than I needed, most of which was to make their company run easier for them, not the customers. Arclight prefers that everyone in their company is involved with more than one position to avoid the need for a big office or additional employees - they work very well as a team. This keeps the communication consistent as well as keeping the cost to the customers at an excellent value. They really care about the customers and have pride in their work. Choosing a color is not one of the things "included" regarding color advice, not in the way the more expensive company did, but more due to experience, they'll advise you about what looks best regarding the subtle differences in colors you want but once completed might not be what you thought it would be. I wanted my house to sort of look like the color of the lake nearby, not clash or match the neighbors, yet be distinctive without being too bold. Something grayish blue but I was led to a bluish gray which was PERFECT!!! I picked the colors, but Shawn gave much needed advice to have the right hue and saturation especially when it's outside!! This company is the ONLY one I'd recommend and the ONLY one I'll return to as needed. VERY professional yet VERY patient and KIND too. Nothing but good feelings about the company and the individuals.

Emily's work is not for everyone. If you just want something trendy, stick to design magazines that…read moretell you the latest colors for the year. Emily comes at design from the perspective of an artist trained in colors. I hired her 15 years ago to select colors for the interior of an older Scandinavian-style home that had always had off-white walls. She spent a great deal of time looking at my favorite paintings, furniture, and exterior landscaping before proposing a basic color for my environment. She then offered me options for other colors for other rooms, plus a trim and ceiling color that would work throughout the house. I had my interior painted in the colors (and paint brand) she recommended. It's not only beautiful, but it has also maintained its classic look over the years. This year (2022) I had Emily back to do exterior colors for my home. She listened carefully to my requests--I wanted to stick with gray with white trim. She then proposed a far more pleasant gray, a subtly richer white, and a sharper, more distinctive accent color for the doors. It's wow! Her work takes the house from bland and generic to striking. Emily is very focused in her work, and her intense style is not for everyone. She is also unwilling to work around pets. You'll have to decide if you are willing to accommodate her approach. My take on it is that the end products (her expert, thoughtful color recommendations) have taken me out of a play-it-safe, generic approach and into a distinctive style that has added vastly to the value of my home. I enjoy the collaborative color selection process. If you are comfortable with her work style, I believe you'll get a lot of value.

I am extremely disappointed with their design, which caused us significant frustration and added…read moreexpense. I would not recommend this firm to anyone. They specified 7' interior and exterior doors, which must be special-ordered and cost nearly three times more than standard 6'8" doors. By the time this issue was identified, the house was already framed. We requested that the contractor lower the door openings from 7' to 6'8", which required additional materials and labor. In construction, any change order means redoing completed work, resulting in unnecessary additional costs. The bathroom windows are also oversized for the rooms. No privacy. Additionally, the drawings were inconsistent across the three bathrooms. In two bathrooms, the toilets were correctly centered at 18", but in the third bathroom the toilet was centered at only 15", even though there was sufficient space for 18". The plumber had to move the toilet 3", which again resulted in added expense.

This review doesn't exist for any reason other than to let others know of our life-altering…read moreexperience from trusting AIRD with our home; a fact-based caveat emptor of sorts. An outcome of trusting AIRD is delayed retirement to fund remediation of design/construction defects so our 1000sf house can function w/o long-term structural, water & other damage. AIRD's reviews & ratings on this site as well other sites are compromised by reviews made by employees of the general contractor she collaborated with). (Rebuttal to Jan2023 reply: Alexandra Immel did not fully cover costs related to one of her firm's erroneous omissions. We were still stuck w a $3K balance for one subcontractors. We paid for/endured delays due to her employee's other omissions. Wasting $3K+, extra months of double rent/mortgage, do-over construction materials & labor is a tiny expense relative to our total cost of remediating issues that originate AIRD's design (& omissions), as well as trusting the contractor Alexandra so wholeheartedly recommended for executing AIRD's plans. The client should never need to research City construction energy code when they're paying professional designers. But I was forced to. Like most people, I *want* to give good reviews, want to believe that when several hundred thousands of dollars is being borrowed & spent, it's spent it wisely. In reality, some people will allow emotions to positively bias their reality of such a huge investment, their reviews, enable excuse-making for individuals they find personally amiable, overlook the aspects that were professionally lacking. Unlike them, for this project, I invested time & money not to make a new "friend" to forgive, but to have a home with better space & small 250sf addition for a better quality of life. The cure is almost always worse than doing things right w the right people from the start. We had/hv no choice but to remediate ASAP. The time to minimize risk of preventable rot (of materials Alexandra insisted on), leaks & other defects is upon discovery of such design defects, not 5-10 years down the road which is when they would have shown up in the form of compromised structural integrity (final product & plans were evaluated by several design/construction pros). There's no space for "positivity bias" in this case no matter how much benefit of the doubt I wanted to extend. When a project involves moving out/in, (14mos of gas guzzling time-suck commuting is more than adequate for adding 250sf & a bathroom), mortgage $, it's critical staff hv adequate skill, knowledge & attn to structural/enviro detail, be *up-to-date* on critical skills/issues involved (appropriate materials, enviro impact, bldg & energy codes). Also essential is a genuine leader of a team who also truly values the time & financial resources of their client. AIRD fell short in all these respects. I'll never forget the comment spoken out loud at an early zoom meeting where Alexandra Immel literally said, in her own words w/ a smile, "money is cheap" (interest rates were lower; conversation is on record). The standard *looking* design plans AIRD produced were so lacking in detail, especially at critical structural junctures that the builder Alexandra recommended could not to execute her firm's designs, w/o trial & error & multiple do-overs, as if they were learning on the job & lacked the experience Alexandra Immel claimed they had. They'll naturally blame each other but absent legal action, the client is stuck w/ the total cost. Cascades of decisions are based on upstream decisions & good data, visual renderings. In our case they were asked for & promised at the start. But were never delivered in a timely manner PRIOR to critical decision points. A logical *looking* workflow on paper from a designer means nothing w this frequency of omissions (incl on plans signed off by the then lone registered architect in the firm at that time & caught by the city inspector). Any builder is dependent not just on designers' plans, but also knowledge of & respect for city code, as well as time-tested experience. Per WA records for just the last 7 yrs, the builders so heartily, *gushingly* recommended by Alexandra Immel had numerous safety violations & violations involving unlicensed (in our case, also incompetent) workers. Per state court records the builders also have 16 cases listed, between the state SUPREME, Appellate courts plus superior courts of at least two counties. When I checked with the state, spoke with Olympia, Immel's own registration attempt as an architect stalled out over two decades ago. Which would be fine had she kept up with the ever-evolving field of residential design (sub 4000sf builds don't require registered architects). I wasn't looking for inspiration, just competency, honesty. What I got was, & is still to this moment, a nightmare of a mess to tediously undo & clean up at a cost of hundreds of thousands of dollars, robbing us of years of quality of life.
