    Menakshee Designs - Supposed to be wood around her fake chalk boards

    Srujana made my graduation complete! I had an idea to honor my relatives in a unique way on my…read moregraduation cap, but I knew I needed some artistic help. I found Menakshee Designs on Yelp and scheduled a call with Srujana. Srujana couldn't have been nicer and agreed to help me even though I only gave her a week's notice. She worked diligently throughout the few days we had to get my cap finished for graduation. In the end, my cap looked beautiful and I received many compliments. My family and extended family loved the design and we plan to have my cap framed now after Srujana's beautiful work. I highly recommend Srujana and plan to use her services again in the future.

    For my wedding gift to my in-laws, I had an interesting idea: since a part of my wife's family is…read morefrom the Indian state of Kerala, I wanted to give them something meaningful, and get a calligraphy print of my mother-in-law's favorite Bible verse written in Malayalam (the primary language spoken in Kerala). However, I ended up frustrated after reaching out to various calligraphers with no success. I ran into roadblock after roadblock, as Malayalam is not an incredibly widespread language and most calligraphers A. don't take commissions in languages that use different scripts than English, or B. are willing to try it, but for a much higher price and with no guarantee that the finished product will turn out as expected. After months of searching, I was referred to Menakshee Designs by another calligrapher who had been unable to take the commission, but said that Srujana may be able to help me. A few weeks later, I had two completed prints that were miles above anything I thought I would be able to have done. Srujana did such an amazing job. The customer service and attention to detail was astounding throughout the whole process, from ensuring that the commission was completed, shipped out, and received on time (even when it was on short notice) to making thoughtful suggestions like including a specific type of flower significant in Indian weddings - something that I wouldn't have even considered! Through every step of the way, she was communicative and offered me options so that she was sure the work was exactly what I wanted. My in-laws (and grand-in-laws!) were thrilled when I gave them the finished product, and they have gotten nothing but compliments on the framed prints that they now have hung up as a centerpiece in their living room. This was six months ago, so this review is much later than it should have been (the months after a wedding can be hectic!), but I wanted to do my part to support and draw attention to this amazing artist. I would not hesitate to urge anyone who is looking for amazing customer service and outstanding results to give Menakshee Designs your business, and I will be doing the same to every member of my wife's large family once wedding season starts in a few months!! Thank you for everything, Srujana - I'm looking forward to having the opportunity to work with you again.

    Accurate Alterations

    Accurate Alterations

    *Please also see attached photos*…read more After attempting to resolve this matter privately with Accurate Alterations without success, I'm sharing my experience publicly. On December 12, I brought seven garments to Accurate Alterations for alterations and paid in total $113. When the items were returned, while some garments were done well, I was dissatisfied with the results on several pieces. Specifically, in my opinion: -- One pair of jeans had an uneven hem and did not sit straight when worn. -- One pair of joggers no longer had the original taper, and the cuffs appeared inconsistently stitched. Additionally, they no longer feel like they fit like joggers but skinny pants instead. -- Another pair of joggers had similar issues but also interior stitching removed that was not restored. -- One pair of dress pants had an uneven hem and puckering at the bottom, and the original taper was not maintained. These garments were new and unworn prior to the alterations. Because of the nature of the work already done and my prior experience, further alterations would not be possible without significantly shortening the pants. I have reached out to Accurate Alterations multiple times since January 12th to discuss a resolution but we have yet to reach one that is mutually satisfactory. I'm seeking advice on what would be considered reasonable next steps. As I see it, I have a few options. In good faith I could try one more time to have them reexamine the work and try to fix it or I can seek reimbursement. Reimbursement could be a refund of alteration costs ($113), that amount plus a complete (~$100) replacement cost, or another fair solution. This post reflects my personal experience and opinion only. - Please advise.

She not only gave advice but offered great ideas as well, since this was my first time. We also had her hem my now husband's pants and fix a button on his vest.

The day I met Tim was the same day that I waited for my room at the Sheraton to be ready. Big convention in town. I called him and told him my situation. We decided to meet at the Sheraton not knowing that my room won't be ready for hours. I updated him and told him if he's ok to do my face at the bar. He showed up. Armed with his magical tools that easily transformed my face based on my request: a SUGAR SKULL! We looked at his portfolio and decided on one that caught my eye the most. He's professional. Fast. Respectful and thorough! He's cool and basically adjusted to my situation and worked on me right there at the bar with people watching. I love my Halloween face. In fact, I won the first price that night! A high breed version of Gogo and Dia de Los Muertos! He is mobile and has one of those vehicles that is loaded with all that you need to transform you into something or someone that you want to be; right there in his vehicle. Very reasonable price to boot. I paid $45+ tip. He takes CC's and uses a square for that. He's worth it! Ten years shows in his awesome work of art. I'm already thinking about next year's Halloween or any excuse at all to transform myself into something out of this world! Thanks Tim!

I was desperate because my house was under contract and I need the work done quickly. They quoted me $14,000 and said it was because they would have to dig 12-15 feet. After digging all day, they couldn't find the pipe and left. They did not communicate with me what was wrong and did not show up the next day. I called all the numbers and was only able to leave a message. They showed up the third day and realized the pipe was 2 feet over from where they dug. They installed new pipes. Then they said they needed to dig another 10 feet to fix more pipe and it would be another $14,000, and then they left again! I called another plumber and they said that Elite not only needed to dig more because they installed the pipes incorrectly and needed to fix their error, but the hole was only 9 feet deep, which was a standard size. Needless to say I put a stop work order. The new plumber is doing the entire job for $9,200!! Elite Rooter took advantage of me. They lied about everything! Do not use them. I've left several messages for management and they have never called back. They are scam artists just trying to rip people off. Fortunately, I was wise to it and got out on time!

His attention…read moreto detail was exceptional, and whenever any unexpected issues cropped up, he promptly and effectively dealt with them without complaint. When some boards that had been installed had some pre-existing issues that made them look bad, he didn't balk at all in tearing down those boards and re-installing some from the overage we ordered. On top of his great workmanship -- and strong work ethic -- Dean was simply a wonderful young man with which to work. Based on our experience, we'd highly recommend Punch List Handyman.

Everything was upfront with the quote we received within 24 hours. So easy to approve the quiet and set up the appointment for the repairs. I called on Wednesday and Dean was here, right on time, on Friday morning. So thankful they were able to do the job so quickly! Dean was friendly, efficient, and worked the full time he was here. We had two different repairs/replacements to be done and are very pleased with the outcome. Pricing was fair and Jim really listened to what we needed. We will definitely be utilizing their services again for small and larger remodel jobs. I feel confident in recommending to friends and family!
