So many times you meet with a designer and they want to move you towards what is trending at the time. Some of this can be fine, but then you risk your house looking like everyone else on the block. Ann takes the time to understand your personality and tastes. She creates tailor made designs for you, not what she thinks you should do. I felt heard and understood by Ann and her team. Her team even showed me ideas that I didn't even know I might like, all because they really listened and heard me. I will use them for all my projects in the future. Thank you Ann!

1 Star -- Think Twice Before Building With Toll Brothers…read more My experience with Toll Brothers was extremely bad and financially devastating. Please read every page of the contract carefully before signing. In my case, the promissory note was in separate contract documents and was not presented together with the deposit information. After the contract was ratified, I understood that after only a short period I was essentially locked in. The Design Studio was another major disappointment. Materials and finishes I saw advertised on their website or in the showroom were not necessarily available to me. I also became extremely concerned about the quality of workmanship by the subcontractors working on my home. I saw what I believed were shortcuts and poor-quality work. When I questioned the quality, the response I received was essentially, "we've always done this." I tried to get out of the contract because of my concerns about the workmanship. Toll Brothers declared me in default, kept my approximately $172,000 in deposits and upgrade payments, and pursued me under the promissory note. Then comes arbitration. You are dealing with a large corporation with substantial legal resources, while the individual homeowner can face significant legal and arbitration expenses just to fight for their own money. Toll Brothers' published arbitration terms also provide for arbitration rather than a traditional court proceeding in certain disputes. My experience has left me feeling that the buyer carries enormous risk once the contract is signed. There are also numerous consumer complaints describing concerns about workmanship, deposits, contract issues, and customer service.

We went to get our selections for a new build this year, and I could not have been more happier…read morewith the selections we made!Erika was an incredible guide to us in navigating our style, while staying true to what was available and what we could achieve. There are plenty of options to choose from if you're willing to take the time and understand how to achieve what you'd like, the end result could be that you're really happy with what you can make out of your home! We are extra attentive to details and care about how a home should look from the ground up, Erika empowered us with selections that fit the bill! The only feedback upwards to Toll design operations at the corporate level is the lack of customization of packages that are offered or the flexibility in selection. We got most of what we wanted but hoped there were more personalization options, especially with the claim that this builder is a design forward, luxury builder. Luxury should encompass a sense of personalization as much as it should offer convenience! But I don't reflect that feedback back to the actual studio itself. If you're going with Toll Brothers as your builder in the DMV area, you're gonna have a great time navigating this studio and making selections that last long, and make you happy. If you get an opportunity to work with Erika, from our experience, she's awesome!!

She helped me select just the right shade of paint to match a bedspread and drapes for my master bath. In early July, I returned to the paint store to get Andrea's advice on paint for my guest room. Once again, she patiently listened to my preferences and recommended the perfect color for a "spa like" feel. Her advice was so helpful that I hired her to come to my townhome to help with the on-going guest bath renovation to include mirror installation as well as help with design ideas for the rest of my home. Andrea's sense of space, color and design is remarkable -- she provided me with detailed suggestions for nearly every room in my home. Her advice is practical and took into consideration my preferences and budget. I would not hesitate to consult Andrea in the future and highly recommend her.
