Actually I am sure it was very painful to deal with all the red tapes. During those 4 months, he even contacted me in the after hours to give me the progress. Thank you.

My answer to your response is - I guess you never worked with an expeditor. I never asked you to…read morepull permits yourself. ---------- Where do I begin? This architect is disgustingly unprofessional and more importantly, a bad person. He was 15 minutes late to our meeting, walked in while I was speaking to his co workers, Jasmine and Dong, and was completely dismissive about the entire meeting. When I started to ask him about the next steps to move forward, like how to pull permits and the pricing for the design, he completely FLIPPED out telling me why would he pull permits when that's the contractor's job? I was a bit taken aback since my previous architect pulled permits alongside my contractor. He then started to allege that I use unlicensed contractors. I started to wonder what he was getting at and why he was being such a rude jerk. He then had the nerve to pull out the BIS gov website and ask me about the contractor I used and the address. When I tried to tell him the architect firm, he got very angry and said why would I care about the architect? HELLO! You asked who pulled the permits! He found my previous project and everything was up to code. This guy is disgusting. There is NP way he's a legit architect because he doesn't have any skills on how to speak to clients. Stay away. You can find architects who pull permits alongside the contractors. This means he has very bad relationships with the DOB.

Jeff was extremely professional and did a wonderful job mounting my 65" Samsung on the wall…read more Communication (texting) was very prompt and he did a great job explaining what we would need for the whole process. Jeff came at the exact time he said he would and quickly went to work. We decided to have the wires hidden behind the wall when he arrived. Just in case that was not possible, he had extra wire covers ready (we have a lot of wires connected to the TV from the two video game consoles, Sonos, etc). He hooked everything up pretty quickly and I noticed he was very particular about getting everything right, measuring stuff and making sure everything was well balanced. I like that attention to detail. The outcome was great. Everything looks beautiful. I'm very grateful and would definitely recommend him and his company again!

Jennifer is a great interior designer! She really listens, works quickly,…read moreand has undeniable talent. When we bought our new apartment, I needed some help with choosing the right paint colors and finishes since I was overwhelmed by the options and wanted to make sure our new place had character and warmth. Jennifer took a look at my new place and helped me plan where all my existing furniture would fit and then we discussed goals for what new pieces would be needed. Then she got paint samples which she tested in different parts of the apartment with different lighting. In addition to those choices, she gave me a good sense of what to look for in case I went to the paint store myself for additional colors. She also recommended a painter to do the actual painting. Everything turned out wonderfully and she pulled together some unique colors & looks that hadn't even occurred to me. After the painting job was completed, I hired her for advice and some general help in choosing the right kind of carpet, furniture, window treatments, etc. Again, she presented great picks for my budget. I also liked that she - being a mom herself - knew a lot about products that are safe and suitable for a family with children, while not compromising on the look. Jennifer was great with my crazy schedule (a toddler, job, moving, etc). She is very diligent, follows up and you will never wonder when something will be delivered or completed. Her pricing is very reasonable. I have recommended her to several friends and everyone has been thrilled.

Jennifer helped us on many levels from making sure the design of our renovated home was not only beautiful but also functional and would last through time. She had a difficult task to come up with designs that were appealing to both of us which I thought was nearly impossible. Jennifer brought a tremendous amount of creativity and suggested ideas/layouts/colors that we never thought of or imagined before....and while it sometimes took us a while to get comfortable with some of these out-of-the-box ideas, we were very happy we implemented them. The risks she had us take paid off. We are incredibly happy with the way our home turned out and would hire her again in a heart beat.
