Our kitchen is a picture of absolute perfection - thanks for Alex and his team! He did an amazing…read morejob and went above and beyond to make sure everything - absolutely everything, was perfect and to our liking. I was in awe of his attention to detail, the care he showed from the beginning of the process to the very end and the precision with which everything was executed. A+ indeed!!! Here is the whole story for those interested: We are in the process of bringing our whole house into the 21st century and we decided to start with the hardest, but probably most exciting - our kitchen. It took several months for us to come up with the design and pick the cabinets. We knew we would most likely pick IKEA cabinets as they are about the only place in town that offers great modern-looking cabinets. We looked at Lowes, Home Depot and Cabinets to Go, just to check them off the list and decided to go with IKEA in the end, just as we thought we would. Another reason we went with IKEA was because they offer an online kitchen planning tool where you can do your layout and see how everything fits and IKEA will even verify your plan and create a shopping list for you so you order everything that's needed. We also liked IKEA's price transparency - you make your plan, you pick your cabinets and the program calculates the total price of your kitchen for you. We even thought we would get the countertop there and have everything installed by IKEA, to make the process super easy and simple. So once we designed the kitchen, picked our cabinets and were ready to move forward with installation, it turned out not everything was that simple. IKEA told us that we would not be able to get what we wanted because they hardly do any customizations - they don't cut cabinets, they don't cut doors, they wouldn't put a panel we wanted on one of the kitchen walls and they wouldn't even adjust an insert for a 12" cabinet to have one shelf instead of two! And every time we talked to an IKEA rep they told us a different thing! We were getting frustrated and after several weeks of trying to make adjustments and make compromises, we decided that we need to go with plan B - find someone else to install our kitchen. While starting looking for someone else, I remembered that one of my friends, who had her kitchen done recently, highly recommended Aplus. I found the phone number and called. I left a message and Alex promptly returned my call. He came over that same week to look at the space and I immediately had a good feeling about him. I emailed him the kitchen plan and he provided a quote a few days later. The quote was comparable to IKEA price-wise, but we were getting everything we wanted and more, so I told Alex that we, of course, are going to pick APlus! Installation was very smooth and I felt like it was more of a collaboration than a hired contractor doing an installation. I told Alex that there were some things I was not sure about and wanted to see how each version would look before deciding on the final one and Alex was more than happy to accommodate and he provided lots of invaluable advice, too. He also provided extra services per our request. We wanted to install laminate on all three walls in the kitchen to serve as backsplash and when I told him that I had trouble finding someone to do it, he agreed to install it and it looks perfect! He also installed the exhaust hood - and it's perfect, of course. I tell you - we would hire Alex to do EVERYTHING he would agree to do with the rest of the remodel - that's how much we trust him and appreciate the quality of his work. I know I am going to sound very sentimental when I say this, but I truly feel that he is a rare gem that we were lucky to find. The love and care he puts into his work is absolutely priceless!

Where to even start!…read more We bought a house in Travisso several years ago and came across Brandy. As you can imagine, after buying a new house it's necessary to watch your expenses. Brandy was instrumental in really showcasing the house and also watching our for our pocketbook!! Over the next few years we would upgrade different sections of the house which culminated with a state of the art smart home theater! How much did we enjoy working with Brandy? We moved to AZ, where we employed her again.! Showing her pictures of the house, we could decide on the theme, colors, etc. We brought her out for a few days for some decorating after having the interior painted. We did the same thing... after the initial design we have been remodeling portions of the house making it more modern, carrying on a largely coastal vibe. We've been doing this over live video chats as we showed her samples of slabs, different colors and so on! We are thrilled with the outcome. We have completed the renovation in the kitchen, guest bath and we are now finishing up the master bath which includes the build out of a walk-in shower. We could not recommend her any more highly! She is an excellent designer with a great eye for what flows together!

I use a custom cabinet company for custom millwork in the main living areas, etc.. but for closets and laundry rooms and even home offices I think they can do a great job! They did my master bedroom and den closets for me. I went with the darker wood because that's what I had throughout, but I recommend using white in closets as it doesn't show the dust as much.

Avi was an absolutely delight. Fast, clear communication before the initial meeting. Very thoughtful approach in our initial meeting. So many images from their highly impressive portfolio to help us think through options. Excellent examples of communication and workflow from previous projects. Instantly ready to share previous customers we could reach out to for references. A really good balance between sharing his ideas for our project, but also really listening to our feedback on what we wanted/invisoned. All the right insights for how to keep us in budget, and very generous with (we can add this/that for little/no extra costs since we're already doing XYZ). We mainly requested a bid on two projects (Kitchen and Primary Bathroom) and help deciding the scope for the remainder of our projects (Flooring, Guest Bath, Office, Patio, Etc.). We were very impressed with how realistic, but also open-minded he was with what portion of our "bonus" projects we could fit in. The formal quote came in fast after our initial meeting, was easy to follow, and fairly priced. Found the proposed timeline to be very well balanced for efficiency vs realism. Appreciated the suggestions provided for if we should/could "live-in" during the remodel vs. a timeline that would allow the bulk of the work to overlap with a time that we were going to be out of town already. Also insights on what it would be worth "buying in advance" to take advantage of sales, even if the actual work was delayed. We got a few quotes and would have felt confident moving forward with any of them when the time came, but the quality of their portfolio and Avi's attentive listening definitely put Teamwork Home Designs at the top of the list. Can't wait to work with them in the future.

The team appeared comfortable working on bathroom renovations; however, the shower diverter was not installed correctly, which caused the handle to be improperly aligned. We later hired a licensed plumber to inspect and correct the issue. Overall, the quality of work did not meet our expectations. Some aspects of the workmanship appeared rushed, and based on our experience, I would recommend exercising caution with detail-oriented tasks such as wood staining, drywall, painting, or door hardware installation. This project did not go as smoothly as anticipated, and I would not choose to work with this company again.

We've worked with Inspired Closets on multiple projects throughout our home over the last 4 years,…read moreand the overall impact has been significant. Our house is a fairly typical Austin new build with limited built-in storage, so we were left solving for organization ourselves. Over time, they've helped transform several areas, including an under-the-stairs pantry, living room built-ins, a wall bed for a small office, and a large storage cabinet near our entryway. The standout project is probably our pantry. It used to be a dark, awkward squeeze under the stairs that was hard to navigate and even harder to keep organized. They completely reimagined the space with lighting, floor-to-ceiling shelving, drawers, and a small countertop area that now houses appliances we used to keep on the kitchen counters. They managed to make an under-the-stairs pantry feel like a feature, not a compromise. It's a tiny footprint that works incredibly hard and has honestly become one of my favorite spaces in the house. The design process has always been highly collaborative for us. Kelly Toye, our consultant and designer, has been a steady and thoughtful partner across every project. She takes what we ask for and makes it better, consistently bringing multiple concepts and helping us think beyond the immediate moment. One example is the living room storage. We currently use cubbies with baskets for toys, but the system was intentionally designed so those can evolve into drawers or cabinetry as our kids grow. That future-thinking approach shows up throughout the work, including small details like curved open shelving on the wall bed installation, which keeps a tight room from feeling visually heavy and more integrated into the home. Communication and installation were smooth across several phases. Scheduling was transparent, timelines were clear, and the team stayed responsive during multi-room projects. Lead times can run six to eight weeks depending on availability, but expectations were always clearly set. In terms of craftsmanship, the quality has held up well with everyday use. It may not sit at the ultra-high-end price tier, but the functionality and durability have been strong for our family. We've had a couple of minor hardware issues over time, and the lifetime warranty has made those easy to resolve. Service calls have been straightforward, and fixes were handled quickly. One of the biggest changes has been how much calmer our daily routines feel. Spaces that were previously chaotic or underutilized now work with us. Toys have a place, workspaces can flex, and storage evolves as our needs change. It feels less like adding furniture and more like adding infrastructure to the house. Overall, Inspired Closets has been collaborative, thoughtful, and highly functional in how they approach storage design. The spaces they created are not only hardworking but genuinely beautiful, and the value feels strong compared to some higher-end alternatives. If you're looking for solutions that balance aesthetics, flexibility, and real-world usability, they've been a great fit for us.

I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience felt important to share for anyone considering…read moreInspired Closets. I chose Inspired Closets Austin over vendors quoting less than half their price, sold on the idea of a high-end, family-owned business with premium quality and a lifetime warranty. To be fair, our designer Kathy was great -- professional, responsive, and understood our needs well. But the rest of the experience didn't live up to the pitch. We scheduled our install more than six weeks out and planned everything around it -- including clearing the space and coordinating new flooring -- only to get a call *the day before* saying they'd ordered the wrong cabinets. No prior warning, and the install was delayed nearly a month. They eventually waived the final 10%, but I had to follow up to make that happen. Then after install, I noticed one cabinet overhangs a step by nearly 2 inches. It wasn't flagged by the install team at any point, and I only noticed it later myself -- disappointing and surprising for what I was told was an "extremely custom" design. Inspired Closets talks like a premium service, charges like one, but doesn't deliver like one. I would not recommend them.

Loved our experience with The Fix It Chick! Kristi and her entire team were wonderful: pleasant,…read moreskilled, top tier professionals. We were looking into a bathroom remodel and got 3 different quotes. We had the best rapport with Kristi but her quote came in higher than the others (not by a huge amount but significant enough for us to debate). In the end, since we'd had previous projects where we went with cost savings and then weren't 100% satisfied after, we picked Fix It Chick. Definitely the right decision! The extra cost she estimated at the beginning just proved her in depth knowledge of the whole project and the excellence they'd be providing throughout. All of her contractors were great and the quality of their work was amazing. We thought we had a good eye for detail but still missed little things she spotted during her various walk throughs to have her team fix. I also really appreciated her initial consultations. We didn't have a very specific design vision and she really helped bring our general idea to life, choosing a handful of options for us to pick from in regards to tile, furniture, lighting, etc. She even solved a big-to-me problem in our bathroom of wanting to have our laundry hidden. She found shelving that had pull out hampers that were seamlessly integrated and the perfect size. We will definitely be going back to Kristi first for any future remodeling projects!

We contacted Kristi and a few other contractors to get quotes and ideas for our main bathroom…read moreremodel. We are so happy we chose her for this project. Budget/Quote-- Entire project cost was very close (within a few dollars) of the original quote and completed within the expected timeline. The only hiccup was when one of the components significantly rose in price from the custom supplier during the 2 weeks since Kristi made the quote. She then found a similar product online for a price within our budget. Tradespeople-- Everyone who was here was respectful of our space (having to move throughout most of the house to reach the bathroom) and cleaned up after themselves. They did high-quality work, which Kristi inspected regularly. Besides that, everyone was friendly and made us feel comfortable. Choices-- We told Kristi we had some ideas for style and design, so she asked for some inspiration photos. This guided us through choosing every component. When we were unsure, we asked for her opinion to help us decide. For many things, like the exhaust fan, toilet, and wafer lights, Kristi chose for us and got us quality products she'd used before and saved us from Choice Overload. The end result-- We are so happy with the bathroom now. It is not only beautiful, but also so much more functional than before. Working with Kristi-- Some reviewers said it took a while to get an appointment for a quote. I'm 100% OK with that. It shows that Kristi has plenty of business because she's good at what she does. This was a significant project for our home. Waiting for the right thing is worth it. Beyond that, Kristi was in constant communication with us throughout every stage. I appreciated her organization, such as the materials list and overview of the work by weeks, as well as a rundown of what work would be done each day M-F. About 10 years ago I did another major bathroom redo at a previous home. The contractor did not do any of this. There would be days when no one showed up to do any work, we never knew what was happening, and we had to constantly reach out to him and ask what was going on. Doing a major project on your home is inherently stressful; however, working with Kristi greatly minimized it.
