We hired Lana Nguen to design a fireplace. We have a tricky space between two windows in a two-story living room, and we wanted someone professional get the fireplace right. We made our expectations very clear â design a fireplace and provide all measurements. Lana agreed, but as we later learnt she never measured the space (point A to B, from window to window) and relied on some device, which as she later admitted â is inherently incorrectâ . She indicated all measurements on the drawing, but never told us, her clients, that her measurements are approximate, and we had no clue. If this is how you do business, it is fine, but either warn your client or donâ t include measurements at all and let someone knowledgeable figure it out! We gave Lanaâ s documentation to a stone company, and they fabricated and installed a marble fireplace, which is too big. It is stuck between the windows and is clearly out of proportion with the rest of the room. I am heartbroken every time I look at it. It was supposed to be the centerpiece of the house. It was very costly, and the redo is a fortune! We had a Zoom meeting with the firmâ s owner, Jonathan Gordon, and he was so rude, pointing his finger and screaming at us! He blamed everyone but himself and so did Lana Nguen. Eventually, Jonathan Gordon stopped responding to our emails, which only proves that this firm is absolutely unprofessional and unwilling to fix problems when they arise. Itâ s a shame such companies exist! STAY AWAY from them! Lastly, let me point out that Lana Nguen found the design of our fireplace on Pinterest and reproduced it, so we found her neither creative nor competent.

Response from Company:

It is difficult to respond to a review that is a retaliation for not submitting to bullying. In a nutshell, this former client made important design implementation decisions without consulting us, and has insisted that we rectify their mistake and take blame for it when it didnt come out as intended. We properly documented our plans with field verification notes to prevent these types of issues from happening, but those notes were ignored. We even offered to help partially rectify their error, but any attempt to help was called an admission of guilt, and our offers were rejected. Some people cannot be reasoned with, and we will absolutely not tolerate being bullied into submission, even when they smear our good name all over the internet. We will take these negative attacks in stride and retain our integrity. Lana is an award-winning designer with our firm, and anyone who knows us, our approach, and our work ethic will understand how these accusations are patently false and that this review is beyond the pale.

Seal of Approval

What is the screening process that Service Professionals go through in order to become members of the HomeAdvisor network?

  1. Verify Trade License
    HomeAdvisor checks to see if the business carries the appropriate state-level license.
  2. Verify Insurance
    As a part of our screening process, we encourage professionals to carry general liability insurance. We require coverage for hundreds of services.
  3. Verification of State Business Filings
    For business types that require a Secretary of State filing, we confirm that the business is in good standing in the state in which it is located.
  4. Criminal Records Search
    HomeAdvisor uses 3rd party data sources to conduct a criminal search for any relevant criminal activity associated with the owner/principal of the business.
  5. Sex Offender Search
    We confirm that the owner/principal is not listed on the official state Sex Offender web site in the state in which the owner/principal of the company is located.
  6. Bankruptcy Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the history of the principal/owner of the business for bankruptcy filings by or against them.
  7. Legal Search for Civil Judgments
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for state level civil legal judgments entered against them.
  8. Liens Search
    We use 3rd party data sources to check the principal/owner of the business for liens placed against them.
  9. Identity Verification (SSN)
    HomeAdvisor verifies the social security number(s) of the owner/principal for identity check purposes. This check applies primarily to smaller business entities.
  10. Identity Verification (Reverse Phone Lookup)
    We conduct a reverse business phone lookup to identify records matching the phone number information provided by the business.
