After reading the YELP reviews posted for Advanced Cabinets Corporation, I had no choice but to…read morewrite one. First of all, Advanced Cabinet Corporation is far from a sham, overpriced, or rude. As in anything service related, you get what you pay for and I can honestly say that my family and I are overjoyed with the cabinets we purchased from Advanced Cabinet Corporation in relation to price, product, and service. Based on my experience, I truly find it hard to believe anyone would receive anything less than complete satisfaction from Advanced Cabinets Corporation. When my husband and I initially started the process of finishing off our basement we were referred to Advanced Cabinets Corporation through a work colleague. On our initial visit we were accompanied with our youngest daughter. I cannot tell you how comfortable the staff made both my husband and I comfortable, but my daughter as well. Immediately upon entering the show room we were greeted by the staff and my daughter was immediately offered some candy. This was such a nice touch that it made a positive statement that we were dealing with a "family friendly" company, but immediately put my daughter at ease. We went during the week but I would definitely recommend making an appointment if you plan on coming on the weekend since they have limited hours. On our visit we were greeted by a consultant. Our consultant sat with us and we discussed our options based on what our budget and ideas were and what the consultant offered as suggestions to meet our demands but also being very cost conscience in the process. After our meeting we were shown around the show room and informed what was currently in stock, costs, etc. I was more than impressed. The cabinets offered are some of the best I have ever viewed in a show room. From classic to modern, Advanced Cabinets Corporation has it all. I was immediately drawn to their new modern line cabinets one would see in Europe. They were beautiful, however with us finishing off our basement I did not want to spend on the higher side. Our consultant knew our budgetary concerns and immediately informed us of the cost of the higher line and then steered us to some options within our budget and our tastes. I really appreciate that since we went to a big box store to price out cabinets and budget was NOT kept in mind with those sales consultants. When we settled on our decision, my husband and I were offered coffee, (I a latte and he a cappuccino) who was served by another staff member. Seriously I was shocked and extremely appreciative of the customer service I received. Being offered a coffee is nice, however receiving a latte and cappuccino that is going above and beyond. We were promised and received the cabinets by the date agreed upon. The delivering staff was courteous, professional, and handled the cabinets with extreme care. It was a top notch operation from beginning to end. When I went to call my consultant to discuss my happiness with our purchase, I spoke with our consultant and asked his suggestion/idea to make a desk within the spare bedroom based on an idea I had. The consultant immediately remembered how fond I was of their new modern cabinet line and emailed me within ten minutes after our phone conversation with his suggestion and drawing for my desk area. Needless to say I was sold on his idea and was greatly appreciative in him remembering what I as the customer really wanted. The best compliment that my husband and I receive is that when guests come to my home and everyone wants to know where I purchased my desk from!!!! Advanced Cabinets Corporation is a fantastic company to deal with. The product lines offered, mixed with the service provided is hard to beat. When you add in the costs for the product, you have the perfect trifecta one expects in dealing with a company. From the smallest job of a simple desk area, to a new construction, I would definitely suggest contacting Advanced Cabinets Corporation for all your cabinet needs.

Working with Dawn was amazing! I reached out for help selecting a paint color for a tricky room in…read moreour house (the kitchen). During our 2-hour consultation, Dawn not only found a color that perfectly matched our style, counters, and backsplash but also spotted opportunities to refresh the colors in the dining room and entry to bring the whole design together. Her color savvy is fantastic, and she asked great questions and listened carefully to incorporate our preferences and ideas. She left us with paint swatches for all three rooms, and the new colors look incredible. Dawn's color consultation more than exceeded our expectations, but she didn't stop there! She also suggested ways to update the kitchen and dining room lighting to be more functional and coordinated. Her after-visit email summary included links to all of the ideas she had offered, including multiple options for fixtures that were very affordable and perfect for our spaces. We love the new lighting. To top it all off, when we told Dawn about our longer-term goal of renovating our kitchen, she offered fantastic ideas for reconfiguring the space to make it more functional and appealing. She followed up with detailed recommendations in her after-visit email summary and included rough drawings to help us visualize thew space. The 2-hour consultation with Dawn was an incredible value, and we definitely want to work with her on the kitchen renovation project!

Dawn provided detailed layout plans along with furniture, bedding, electronics, and artwork recommendations--all of which perfectly matched my style and lifestyle. Her guidance not only made the process easy, but it also saved me over $900. I truly got everything I asked for and more. Thank you, Dawn! I will absolutely recommend you to anyone looking for an interior decorator."

Natalia came out to meet with me for a consultation at my home which was very informative and I was…read moreable to see a lot of the work that her and her team have done. She was able to look at my space and give a lot of helpful advice about Reno/design/layout ideas. She explained that they do high-end, modern clean, looking designs, but they also do all other designs as well ( like my traditional looking home). They do big and small projects and continue to work with the homeowner even after the project is done. I would highly recommend!

I've been working with Natalia on designing our new rental. Yes, you heard that right, a rental!…read moreWe'll be here for about three years, but I still wanted our place to feel like home. Natalia has been incredibly helpful in guiding us through big, impactful design decisions that are practical and thoughtful, while also keeping costs reasonable since we don't want to invest too much in a rental property. I also didn't want an interior designer to fully design every detail of the place. I wanted to be involved in choosing pieces myself, but have someone I could trust to advise me on whether things would actually work in our space, and Natalia has been perfect for that. I'll text her with questions about furniture purchases, design ideas, or even quick installation decisions when our maintenance guy is here, and she always responds right away. My husband is also very picky, but he has been genuinely impressed with her advice and with how our place has come together. I know Natalia takes on much larger and more expensive projects than ours, but I have never once felt like we were wasting her time. She has always been responsive, kind, and very professional. I highly recommend Natalia to anyone looking for practical, thoughtful design guidance that respects your time and budget. We'll definitely be working with her again on our next home project whenever we move.

I can't believe how remiss I have been in not writing up a review for Interiors by Maribeth!…read more Maribeth and Jovita have been an essential part in sourcing fabric for our upholstery projects over the last 3 years. Maribeth's eye for color is unmatched. The team is talented and fun to work with, and really approached our projects with enthusiasm and insight, never pushing an agenda. Our relationship began when we were looking for a particular upholstery fabric and color-way from an English fabric company that we hoped to use for a pair of heirloom chairs .... I'd refer anyone who is making big decisions about fabric to check in with Maribeth and her team first!

I cannot say enough good things about Maribeth. She's the only decorator I use & I've been in the…read morereal estate game for thirty years. Maribeth is mind boggling, actually. She really knows her craft, it's like she was born to be an interior decorator. Her ability to put design schemes together is amazing. I swear I think she knows all the paint colors and their number designation(s) by memory. One time she was explaining something to me and I said: "What do you mean?" She drew a sketch of it and it looked like a masterpiece in the Art Institute. Years ago, the rental market was 'down' and I'm a landlord. I couldn't rent out an apartment and I had at least seven showings. I said to myself, I'll call Maribeth (get the color schemes) and have the apartment repainted. I did just that, first showing after Maribeth and the new paint, the apartment rented in the FIRST showing. As a matter of fact, I will NEVER use any other interior decorator, but Maribeth.

From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, communicative, and reliable. They showed up exactly when they said they would, kept us in the loop throughout the process, and delivered beautiful, high-quality results. It's rare to find a team this responsive and dependable, especially on a fast turnaround project. We're so grateful for their hard work and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for trustworthy, top-notch painters.

We could not have asked for a more high-quality group of guys. Thank you Oleg and the team for transforming our new house into our new home!

We felt like we were in someone else's home. Someone who had a lot more money than us! Martins isn't just a builder, or a designer. He's an artist. When you bring someone into your home to change it forever, you have to trust that person. When Martins came by for our first free consultation (something other people had charged us for), he stayed for two hours. He wanted to get to know us, and figure out exactly what kind of home we wanted. To say he cares about his work is an understatement! Other people we looked at charged us for that first visit, came in, took measurements, were out in 30 minutes, and then provided some cookie-cutter recommendations. Besides his off-the-charts talent, he is honest, flexible, responsive and easy and fun to work with... not to mention reasonable. He even provided us with guidance and recommendations to bring the overall costs down. If you're looking to do renovations on your home, that not only are beautiful, but also unique and specific to you and your family, your search is over. Martins Buka will not only deliver, but exceed your expectations!

She understood our vision and enhanced it with her own great ideas along the way. When we first set out to hire a decorator I was afraid they would try inserting their own taste or push a style we didn't like, but with Michelle that never happened. Of course, there were times where I wanted a particular look, and she gently made it clear that "it doesn't work." Moreover, she gave very thoughtful logical reasoning on why it doesn't work, which I would then understand and agree with her. So thankful that she stopped us in those instances! Overall, our ideas and vision were supported and enhanced. She definitely knows what she is doing. Little tricks here and there that make a world of difference. Although Michelle can get very busy, she would always try and squeeze us in somewhere. Due to building process I was forced to make some quick decisions and I could always count on her to get her opinion in time. She gave us as much autonomy as we wanted and guided us when we were clueless. Not only did she have great ideas, she had contractors that she works with and trusts to do the work. Aside from her design skills, Michelle is super nice, friendly and fun! Best of all we felt that, for her time and expertise, she was quite a bargain!
