After our first conversation, I knew that I wanted to work with him. He communicated with us through the entire process, gave updates, and delivered exactly as what was shown in our first design meeting. He listened to what we wanted for our kitchen remodel and asked questions. The material selection was easy because he listened so well in the initial meeting. We weren't overwhelmed with numerous choices. If we wanted to see more choices, he met us at the tile store to show us more options. He not only designs the space, but he also manages the trades (who show up on time), which made this entire renovation seamless and easy. His prices are very reasonable, and his timeline for the work to be completed was accurate. He was at our house regularly to make sure the trades knew exactly what to do. He also helped us find kitchen chairs and window coverings. If you want one place that handles the entire project from design, construction and furnishing, look no further than Blue Desert Interiors.

Mark LaPalma and his team at Blue Desert Interiors came highly recommended to me from a friend and…read moreI am thrilled with the job they did remodeling our master bathroom and bedroom as well as another full bathroom in our home. Neither my husband nor I feel very comfortable with our ability to pick out materials that complement each other. We truly laid our entire trust in Mark and his team. They listened to every detail we wanted, made numerous trips to measure the area and came up with a truly beautiful design concept. Of course that is only half the battle and as wonderful as the design process was, the precision of the execution of that plan was on point. Mark laid out a grid that showed us every step of the process and which contractors we could expect on which days. If we weren't home either Mark or one of the team would be there to let them in. We were kept informed of any possible delays and our project was completed on time and on budget! Our project came out more beautiful than I could ever have imagined thanks to Mark and I would not hesitate to use him again for any project and highly recommend him!

Look no further, you have found the best of the best! Slade and his team are a dream to work with…read morefor a homeowner. He helped my family manage a 3,000sq ft total remodel - 3 bathrooms, kitchen, floor plan changes, etc. He's not only intelligent, responsive, reliable, professional with high integrity, he's also just a total blast to work with. He helped us navigate and problem solve many challenges as they came up during the renovation process. He keeps a clean job site and has total respect for your home. His crew is respectful and always on time. They clean up the job site at the end of each day and are a joy to be around. We enjoyed our experience so much with Slade and his team, we took the leap of faith to do another renovation with he and his team. That's saying a lot as renovations are not fun! I would recommended him to my friends and family 365 days a year! Go for it! You won't be sorry. Attaching some before and after photos.

Please do yourself a favor and find someone else. Slade and his crew (and his wife, who Slade…read moreforced me to pay $4500 for her pretty worthless "design" services) remodeled our whole house, down to the studs, adding about 1k square feet. Once we signed the contract, the communication broke down. Slade was rude, confrontational and condescending. I have a list a mile long of problems during construction, but here are a few: he ordered windows for the entire house with grids, which we did not want. When we told him, he didn't care. He decided to make a major change to the slope / shape of the ceiling without telling us. Once construction was finishing, we began to notice the many construction flaws. We would visit the house and notice the wood floors warping - his poor plumbing caused repeated leaks to the new wood floors. He would do a poor job of putting new wood down and disregard the obvious mold hazard. It became clear that he pushed to get the job done quickly and cheaply, at the expense of quality and good workmanship. Before we moved in, we asked him to remedy the numerous issues. He fixed some, but many remained, and we gave up. A few to mention - the airflow throughout the house was always subpar. Temperature would fluctuate 5-10 degrees, with the master always the warmest by far. The windows didn't work well. Once moved in, the issues kept occurring. The biggest - we got a new washing machine and Slade's poor plumbing caused the washer to leak INTO THE WALLS. We had to move out to have new floors put in and learned that the subfloor was put in so poorly that it turned to dust when they tried to put down new floors. We learned there was A BASEMENT that Slade and crew either didn't notice or didn't tell us about. This remodel, only about 2 years after Slade's remodel, and due to Slade's plumbing / subfloor / basement oversight, took SIX MONTHS and cost over $100K. When fixing the disposal, we learned the electrical was not up to code. Now, upon selling the house, I have an inspection report a mile long with issues not up to code / general standards due to Slade's remodel, and once again, he denies/refuses to fix. This includes insulation, roof issues, foundation issues, electrical issues, plumbing issues, the same AC issues we'd complained about since the beginning. Slade has threatened to sue me if I post this honest review, but I have records of all of this and would be happy to share with him, his lawyers, or any readers who are considering Slade or his services.

Brett Buckner (owner) helped me make my preliminary selections so that he could come out to my home within a few days to do a comprehensive measuring and fully understand my needs/wants. Within a week I had a detailed quote emailed. We did a follow-up to make some revisions to the plan and thus the quote. I had done some other shopping, the bid was competitive, but just as importantly, they had done work at my home before and also had recommendations from people I knew personally. Upon award of the job, I was assigned a project manager and timelines were established; tasks assigned and communication was clear. Most importantly, any time I had a question, I could make a call, and would get answers the same day. During the most intense part of the project, I was only without a working kitchen for 4 1/2 days; and always had a functional refrigerator. Coordination between the cabinet painter, the granite/tile work and plumbing made that possible. Throughout the project both Skyler and/or Marjene would stop in to check on progress to make sure that I was happy and that the quality of work was meeting their standards. The finished product is as I had envisioned it and I am very proud to show off my new kitchen. It's time to get down to some serious cooking! Bon appetite!

The first was accessorizing the built in around our TV and other little spots in our Great Room and secondly was our kitchen nook. The work began with a thorough in-home consultation where we looked over the space and mapped out what I envisioned and how she could help. Almost immediately there after she began sharing images of different pieces in different prices that could work together - in ways I couldn't have done on my own. If a selection wasn't what I had in mind she quickly offered options. Lauren's communication throughout the process was great and when there were delays due to manufacturing or shipping she kept me updated so I knew the progress of the projects.
