Stacie and Jessica from Paxton Place transformed our outdated and kid-worn living room into a…read morewow-worthy gathering space that everyone wants to linger in. The difference is genuinely jaw dropping. Our project was a complete redesign including the replacement of an exterior wall with an expansive glass door, upgraded lighting, new furniture, draperies and blinds, and design support for our adjacent outdoor living space . Our living room has been transformed into a peaceful refuge, with a timeless, but truly unique feel. These ladies were professional, knowledgeable, creative, and just plain fun to work with. They brought reason and sanity to a large-scale project that could have been chaos; the whole effort was well organized, carefully planed and beautifully executed every step of the way. We can't wait to work with them again on future design projects.

We were honestly looking forward to this experience and I have to say that aside from some minor…read moreerrors in detail and quality, we are overall pleased with the final product. However it was quite a journey to get here and at times less than pleasant. We hired a design company because 1) we lack experience in remodeling homes and 2) as busy professionals we felt it worth the investment to not have to be so involved with the logistical side of the projects. That was not the case at all. First of all, there was no end date filled out in our contract. That's on us but again, we lacked experience so we really should have pressed for that. Secondly and a major issue I have with this company is that every single disruption was made to be our problem. From what I can tell this company works with about 3 contractors and they make it seem like they have a whole Rolodex of them. At no point did they take responsibility for over promising and under delivering due to delays, mis quotes and errors. Their response was always something to the effect of "well everything is so backed up due to the pandemic". The pandemic began in March of 2020 and we began our project in March of 2021, so this business has had ample opportunity to course correct and evolve with the shifts and disruptions in supply chain. Third, we had a window closed in and unbeknownst to us that did not include the interior drywall repair but rather a sheet of plywood to hold place. Again maybe this is on us for our lack of experience and it was foolish to trust them to communicate with us but that feels like a major cost, major detail to clearly communicate to your client. Not to mention the old saying "finish what you start". -I'd also like to add to this that all their quotes and communications are done through email which gets very messy and disorganized very quickly. Fourth, we had wood floors done and the amount of follow up we had to do to just get a freaking start date nailed down with them was ridiculous. Mind you the down time and chemicals this project uses, the fact that we have pets which required boarding during this time and of course our own plans to evacuate the home. After all the attempts to get a start date from them, they ended up giving us about a 3 day notice which is absolutely unacceptable planning and quite disrespectful of our schedules. Furthermore they advised we'd be safe to return to our home about 3-5 days after the stain process was completed once the polyurethane had settled. This was so far from correct; I came home thinking I was going to stay and had to seriously hold my breath and run through the house to exit for another 3 days. Not to mention pay a substantial amount of extra money to extend our pets boarding and get ourselves another hotel. Fifth, their painter came over to give us a quote on interior paint and aside from his overwhelmingly awful tone and condescending attitude (toward me specifically) he gave us a quote to paint a room (mind you, a large room) that was around $10,000. When questioned why the interior paint of one room would cost about the same amount the exterior paint of our entire home cost (which was done by the same painter, same company) I was met with "maybe you should find your own painter" (like ok why did we hire you?) and after that remark was addressed in a follow up conversation we were told that it's because finding contractors that are insured cost a more premium price. My eyes rolled so hard I got a headache. And then we found an insured contractor who painted said room as well as an additional room and baseboards for less than half the amount Paxton Place quoted. Oh and they were able to start and finish on time as well. So even amidst a pandemic, it is doable my friends. At the end of the day we are pleased with the final product but wouldn't use them again. The ladies are nice and they have good ideas, it's just that the operational side of it was really messy and seemingly outdated. Like you can't expect a clean process if you primarily operate your business via email and with three whole contractors handling the scope of work you offer. On top of that, it really felt like once we were past writing the big checks that we fell so low on their list of priorities it was insulting. And we spent quite a bit of money with them. Overall would give them a 4/10.

I wish Yelp had a negative star rating. The number of positive reviews here is surprising; we had a…read morevery different experience with this company. We hired The Design Studio to remodel our master bath in 2023; the work entailed removing the tub, enlarging the shower, adding a steam unit to the shower, tile and a bidet toilet. We were told the job would take 3-4 to complete; it was finally finished 3 1/2 months later. Construction delays happen, I understand that, but the delay became least of our problems. We had inspectors and contractors come back and we then realized we had much larger issues, which landed us in a lengthy, painful legal battle with this person. Most of the issues were around the shower glass and steam unit. The glass was to be floor to ceiling and 10 ft. high; it was installed incorrectly after many delays and breaking of the glass at one point. Rather than take responsibility for her subs she blamed them for everything and withheld payment to them to the point that one sub threatened to put a lien on our house. The steam unit took over an hour to get to temperature; we were told that was normal. Only after hiring an inspector did we learn that the steam unit was woefully underpowered for the size of the space, it should have been four times the output that this one was. The glass and steam unit were only part of our problems, we have incorrect wiring, substandard hardware and poor workmanship and mold beginning to form. Prior to discovering the full scope of work that would have to be torn out and re-done all I asked for from the Design Studio was a refund of the cost of the glass, we would get it replaced on our own. We were offered next to nothing in return so we decided to take it to court, a decision that we regret. We are not the type of people to sue, it is not something we have ever considered. We spent over 3 years in the system with delayed court dates, failed mediation and a large amount of money in legal fees. When we finally got our day in court the trial never started. The judge asked why we hadn't settled then suddenly she was ready to settle, AFTER THREE YEARS!!! After a very short negotiation between attorneys, we came to a settlement. The agreed settlement was far from what we had spent but at least it was over, at least we thought. When the time came for her to sign the judgement, she informed the judge that she would be filing for bankruptcy, leaving us with nothing except an expensive bathroom that needs to be remodeled correctly and a large dent in our bank account. I hope this helps someone make an informed decision when hiring a contractor, all of this and more are in writing in emails, text messages and public records. Be very cautious of The Design Studio, Tammy Hamilton or Hammertown, her company that she previously bankrupted.
