I cannot give Dattilo Design and Tamara Dattilo a good review. She did not come highly recommended by the architect nor the local general contractors. I had an idea of going kind of against the grain and when we met for the first time, I felt I saw some spunk. I thought I saw some enthusiasm, talent, lack of fear, and some real proven technical talent. So, I and you can say I made the mistake. Tamara comes from a technical background of being able to do CAD drawings of kitchen cabinetry. That is probably where her talent still remains. With many months of trying to work with her I found her to be very unconnected with the clients tastes and thoughts. I found her to be totally out of touch with construction cost, budgets. The design I ended up with was strange. The master closet 10X10 cost out at $80,000. The wallpaper she selected, the fixtures she selected, the bathroom lighting she selected was amazing the same as what I found in an Embassy Suites. It was probably very durable ( and she has done more work in commercial than residential), but it just did not work in the design for my home. So, it could have been miscommunication, lack of understanding of the clients desires and it could have been my fault in not demanding that she adhere to my likes, styles, colors, and needs. I have never done a review on yelp before, I like to be very positive about everybody and thing and I realize that people needs, tastes, and thoughts vary. I just wanted to put this out there for anybody considered Tamara at Dattillo Designs and suggest that you have a clear picture of who you are hiring. read more
