I would also be happy to provide a copy of the police report investigating Meadowlark for fraud,…read morethe State of Michigan LARA report which resulted in them paying a fine, and the DTE report finding that there are multiple hollow external walls in my house and that only one room in my entire house was properly insulated. Have fun trying to fire them for cause and getting sued by them when you do.

1) Start date May 14, scheduled end date July 27 (74 days). Date they asked for final payment was…read more10/25/18 (164 days). So 90 days late, 222% beyond time budgeted. Minus 1 star for taking all damn Summer and part of the Fall. 2) Initial demo of bathroom tile on second floor shook loose a connection in the copper piping in the floor, flooding first floor and basement. Took months to get everything cleaned-up to near-original condition, required constant hounding to get their attention. Minus 1/2 star for the poor attention to a problem they created. 3) They asked for a progress payment when only 1 milestone associated with the payment was finished, a walk-through with a subcontractor. Minus 1/2 star for requesting money for nothing. 4) Remodel included repair to water-damaged ceiling in laundry room. The work was not on the original schedule, kept asking when the work would be done, they responded with, "What work?". Had to break out the contract and quote them back their scope-of-work. The project manager's response? "Wow, I didn't realize that, sorry". Paraphrasing. Minus 1/2 star for Read Your Own Damn Contract. 5) Had a gas fireplace insert installed. Three times. Installed before the wall behind was insulated and finished so it was removed for that, then re-framed and re-installed in the wrong place, had to be re-re-framed and re-re-installed. Minus 1/2 star making something simple so complicated. 6) Had portable storage pod in driveway. Had some landscaping scheduled for after the original finish date which required the pod to be gone. Project manager "guaranteed" work would be done before landscapers started, which wasn't true. Had to schlub everything back into the house where it sat piled-up and in-the-way for a month, then had to get another pod and put it all back. Minus 1/2 star for that bogus guarantee. 7) When the project was almost 60 days overdue, it took a negative post on their Facebook page to get some additional resources and oversite from the owners. Minus 1/2 star for making me complain. 8) We kept having morning meetings, sometimes changes were discussed. I'd come home to find work was done without the changes. We kept having meeting, I kept bringing up the same issues, time and time again. Minus 1/2 star for not taking notes. 9) It's the 4th of July, were on vacation in Chicago, our neighbors call and say there are 2 unmarked cargo vans at our house - is everything OK?. I call the project manager, who says there are no workers at the house, so I call the police and start scrambling - what is the best way to ruin our vacation so I can get back home fast? But - Oops! It's some painters, they're in the house, false alarm. Minus 1/2 star. 10) Had a hardwood floor put into an office space room. On a Monday, the project manager e-mailed me to say the wood would be delivered that day and installed on Wednesday. I get it, it's called "acclimating". I get home that night and the floor is down. Then it sat there for maybe a month before it being top-coated. Minus 1/2 star for what was the rush to ruin the wood? 11) The bathroom remodel is at "plumbing final inspection has passed". My wife takes a bath in her long-awaited, life-long-dream of a soaking tub. I hear it raining in the house. Something came loose, water is poring through a light fixture into the room below. The next day, the project manager - who I haven't seen in a month - comes in, doesn't say a word to me. Not, "Hey sorry this happened, glad your wife didn't get electrocuted, we'll get this fixed...", none of that. Not a word. I ask for Meadowlark to come up with a plan in writing to put GFI's on the circuits that could get flooded if this happens again. Their response displays a genuine lack of concern for my family's safety. Minus 1 star for making me so angry that I post a video of the water pouring through my ceiling to their Facebook page. 12) Lots of other issues I didn't even cover (e.g., the "4-star" painters). In their defense everything looks pretty good, finally. So plus 2 stars for that. So, unless my math is poor, that means 5 stars minus 6 stars plus 2 star = 1 star.

I originally posted a negative review based on my 2025 experience with one of their design teams…read moreand problems with a bathroom addition in 2018, which had been affected by a sinking slab in the garage of my 1970 ranch house. To his credit, the owner, Jef Forward, intervened to submit a revised proposal. He also had the entire garage slab replaced with new footings for the bathroom addition, along with the drywall and framing that the sinking slab had caused. Plus, the firm has not invoiced me for the work. Kudos.

We loved working with Forward on the exterior renovation of our home and we love the results!…read more In the almost 2 years since the completion of the project, I cannot tell you the number of people who have stopped to compliment how the home was transformed by their planning, design, and construction team. Forward Design has put so much thought into their comprehensive approach from the initial meeting, throughout construction, and down to the final details. We not only love the results, but we were regularly impressed with how they handled every step and detail of the process. Organizationally, it is clear that there has been a high degree of intentionality and investment in the cultivation of their work place culture. This translates to clarity, open communication, and collaboration with the client. Each member of their team we worked with were talented, artistic, responsive, and skilled. Rob, our project manager, needs a special shout out for his patience and willingness to indulge all of my questions. The whole team made our experience positive and enjoyable. We look forward to the next project we can tackle with Forward Design.

Lucky us! Unfortunately, due to some poor design decisions by our builder, most of our condos experienced significant damage from ice dams. Dawn's leadership and experience as an architect were instrumental in successfully resolving the situation.  More recently, I hired Dawn and Dayna to give me some ideas for updating my kitchen and laundry room. I'm really glad I reached out to them. They asked great questions to learn more about what I was trying to accomplish and offered excellent suggestions for updating my space. I have recommended them to several others and have done so with great confidence.

I was so busy with work I missed their call so they could not get in my gate on the Friday before the Sunday party. By the time I was free to check my messages it was Friday night.

He was there all day and got everything looking amazing!!! It was my fault I missed my time slot on Friday but they bent over backwards! What a great company! Will always use them!!!

I had a huge (and I mean HUGE) armoire I needed moved out of a historic home and I honestly doubted it could be done. The stairs were tiny and steep, and the railings made it even worse. If it had 2 feet of space where the turn to the second floor was I'd be surprised. There was a group of us watching and we all thought Cortney would say it couldn't be done. But no, he was sure he could do it and he did! Not a scratch on it, they could not have done a better job. Super professional too. If I ever have to move anything I will ONLY call this company. Best moving company I have ever found, with very fair pricing. Don't even bother calling anyone else, trust me. You won't find better!
