Kanika is an extremely talented designer, and I can't recommend her enough!…read more We bought a house in March 2020 - signed the contract days before covid stay at home orders. My husband and I then spent two years working from home together in our front room (we call it the study now) without any rhyme or reason, just putting our desks wherever they fit, because it all happened so quickly. It was awkward and ugly, cords and monitors everywhere, and not a great look for people walking in our front door. The whole time, I was thinking, "when this is done and at least one of us goes back to the office, I want to make this room into a nice space to read and relax, and also to WFH when I have to." That's where Kanika comes in. I tried changing the place up on my own, but every choice I made seemed to make my space uglier and more awkward. It was time to hire a professional. That decision was worth every penny. In the end, my project turned out to be slightly bigger than just one room. I enlisted Kanika's help in choosing flooring, baseboards and paint for the whole house, furniture for my entire downstairs (we were still using the old living room furniture left by the previous owners), and light fixtures throughout. She was easy to work with and understood immediately what I was going for. My study is a real showstopper now - the walls are this deep blue color that looks amazing, she designed a gorgeous custom bookshelf that makes perfect use of the space, and she picked a couch that is the perfect size, just the right color, and so comfortable. And we still managed to get a desk in there for those WFH days. Literally just the other day, I was on a Zoom with someone and thought "this room behind me is so pretty, it looks like a fake background." But it's real, and in my house! And it wouldn't have happened without Kanika. The paint color she helped me pick for my bedroom is something I never would have chosen on my own, but I still regularly think about how nice it looks whenever I go in there. Same with the color of the living room couch, I'd never have found it on my own, but now that I have it, I love it. She knows her stuff. Kanika's husband Adi runs the business side of things. He managed the project, hiring contractors and keeping everything on schedule. The work was done on time, and he kept us in the loop, patiently answering any concerns or questions. And, no shenanigans with the final cost. Really, hiring Kanika Design was a great decision for us.

Some of their unique proposals made a world of difference--we can't even imagine what the house would look like if we had stuck to the original plans!

We felt genuinely supported throughout the entire process. Our family couldn't be happier with the end result.

Rebarts just finished installing Hunter Douglas automatic window coverings in our living room and…read morehome office and it was another great experience (we used them 7 years ago). Bart came in November 2023 at 5:30pm (he works hard!) and had all the latest laser gadgets to get exact measurements. He stayed for a few hours because I had a hard time deciding what type of window covering to get but was so patient with me and even ran five separate proposals with pricing for me. Once we decided, he warned us that it'll take months for the window coverings to be made and 3 months later we got a call to schedule installation. Oscar and another installer (I'm sorry I can't remember his name but he was awesome with the tech set up) came in March 2024 and made sure to call ahead before arriving, put shoe coverings on before entering, and were so friendly. They were quick with their work and offered to wait to ensure all the shades were connected to the gateway before they left. While they were there, we noticed one of the shade covers was slightly defective so Oscar ordered a replacement right away. It took another month to arrive and Fernando came to swap out the defective blind in less than 15 minutes. Every person I spoke to at Rebarts (estimator, salespeople, scheduler, installers) were knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. It's obviously a family business that spends the time to train their employees and cares about their customers. Finally, I know it's almost ridiculous to have to point this out but stay with me...they didn't send me the final invoice until the job was completely done (i.e., after the defective shade was replaced). I'm working with a window company and they've been hassling me to make my final payment even though I've pointed out that the sliding patio door they installed was defective. While they agree that the door is defective, they said they've done their job of installing and the defective door is manufacturer's problem so they should get paid. Clearly they lack pride in their work but Rebarts does not. I would definitely recommend Rebarts to anyone.

Rebarts backed off on the trip-charge, but the replacement shade was still defective. Hunter…read moreDouglas just isn't worth the money.

I can't say enough wonderful things about Imani at 314 Design Solutions! I was referred to him by…read moremy interior designer, and he quickly became one of the most trusted and dependable professionals I worked with throughout my long and complicated remodel. From the very beginning, Imani took the time to truly listen to my style, needs, and budget. He brought an incredible amount of cabinet expertise to the project and was instrumental in solving challenging space issues while maximizing every inch of my kitchen. He didn't just sell me cabinets--he helped me figure out how to make the space beautiful, functional, and true to my vision. What really sets Imani apart, though, is his customer service and dedication. During the many months of my remodel, he was consistently available by phone, text, or in person. He would meet me at my home, coordinate with my contractors, and make sure the cabinets were installed properly. There were countless times when I needed help and he would show up that same day or the next. That level of responsiveness is incredibly rare! Whenever something didn't meet expectations, Imani immediately went into problem-solving mode. He worked directly with the cabinet company and everyone involved to find solutions and make sure I was satisfied. He genuinely cares about the end result and takes ownership of the process from beginning to end. He also worked seamlessly alongside my interior designer, architect, and contractors, making what could have been an incredibly stressful process so much easier. He is knowledgeable, professional, honest, kind, and incredibly easy to work with. To say Imani goes above and beyond is honestly an understatement. Remodeling can be stressful, but having someone like Imani in your corner makes a HUGE difference. I would HIGHLY recommend Imani and 314 Design Solutions to anyone looking for cabinetry and exceptional customer service. I have already recommended him to friends and others, and I wouldn't hesitate to work with him again!
