Get matched with top residential (interior space planner) designer in your area

"My experience with Deborah Hannon started out very positive. She recommended things that really captured the look I was going for in my new home. She asked for payment up front and I made the mistake of overlooking this and paid for some window treatments for two rooms. When I got the quote for some wallpaper I was completely taken back on the pricing. Deborah said she would not upsell me on the prices of the wallpaper. I did some research and was able to find most of the wallpapers much cheaper. I also found an excellent wallpaper installer that was 75% cheaper than the quote from Deborah. So I told her I was going with the window treatments but not the wallpaper. She quickly responded to ask why and I was honest with the pricing was significantly higher. So I ordered soft touch Roman shades and paid in full on October 5th to be ready for a December 15th install. I was told 10 days for fabrication so thought this would be no problem. Communication was terrible after she had my money with excuses each time of why she took so long to get back. On the night before the treatments were to be installed Deborah called to tell me the soft touch mechanism was recalled and the would be manual cords. Then proceeded to tell me they would not be ready for installation. This happened on December 14. She said approximately 10 days. On Jan 9 when I had not heard I started sending emails of which were never responded to. I sent text messages never responded to. I made phone calls never responded to. Finally on Feb 2 I received a text stating they were ready and a date of Feb 6 to install. The installer who had came and put up some temp shaded came and completed the install a very nice young man. So I finally received my window treatments not exactly what I wanted and definitely a price much higher than I would have paid elsewhere. I have since read many reviews in the Cozy Cottage and it seems like I was lucky as several still have not received their product and even local businesses have commented on the dishonest business relations."

"From the beginning, Brittany was an amazing listener. She heard all of our needs and wants and took note. She offered choices that fit our style. We had a smaller kitchen space with the desire to fit in as much as possible, yet still make it feel open and inviting. Brittany knocked it out of the park. We have so much more cabinet storage and everything fits perfectly. Even the little mudroom-esque space we hoped would work in our small Minneapolis home made the kitchen unique. She is extraordinarily talented in her designs. No question. Beyond that, she is a thoughtful person who cares, listens to the customer, and prioritizes customer satisfaction with the end result. We're so grateful we had the opportunity to work with her!"

"Paul Gregory is a professional in every sense of the word. His communication with me prior to and during the feasibility discussion was terrific; his ability to explain the engineering helped me “see” what he saw and the potential solutions. Without question, Paul is a highly skilled and experienced engineer, and these assets inform his creative and solid approaches to solving structural challenges. As others have noted, he is pleasant, timely, and has reasonable rates. I would not hesitate to refer him to my family and friends, and when my family moves onto the next step of our small kitchen re-model, he’s the first call I’ll make. Thanks, Paul!"

"communication wasn't great, and service is good"

"Phenomenal business. Jessica and her team from Better Yards and Gardens have completed three major patio and landscaping projects for us over the past two years. Beautiful quality work, superb communication, fair pricing and flexible scheduling. We are very pleased with our new outdoor spaces and highly recommend the company."

"John was very helpful in planning our paver patio and fire pit. The crew was great. Very prompt, professional and courteous!"

"So happy with the project. Mike and crew did a wonderful job working with me to create a retaining wall to support a driveway as well as designed in ground basketball hoop into the wall. We get a many compliments from the regular walkers in the neighborhood. Mike was responsive and easy to work with. The paving contractor changed the grade of the driveway, and we then had to unexpectedly make changes to the wall. Mike and Great Goats were great in extending the project, continuing to work with me to change and complete the project in a timely and cost effective manner. Would hire again."

"We had Design Q&A create plans for our basement remodel for a contractor they often work with and were very happy with the results. Our designer Paul had several good ideas and he was able to provide additional thought and assistance during the actual construction phase which we very much appreciated. The style we were looking for was mid century modern with a bit of a modern twist. It turned out really good."

"If I could leave 0 stars, I would. Apart from the first call, all other interactions with Evolution Drafting were a bait & switch. From the appt. date for site tech to measure my home, to the experience and skill set of the tech that was sent, to the lack of communication, the experience was awful. Deadlines were not met, no explanation or apology given; only excuses and partial/incorrect work was sent, seemingly in an attempt to appease me. When I did finally receive the initial two drafts of the "as-is" drawing, they had not even captured the exterior deck and facade (windows, doors, garage, etc.) at all, and this was noted from the beginning as the primary scope of work and primary reason for hiring them. Further, nearly every dimension in the "as-is" drawings that they sent me, was incorrect. Existing doors, walls, windows were missing in two iterations of the as-is drawings; delaying the ability to share the concept and desired renovation scopes until there was a correct baseline. The deposit paid was a complete waste as I waited 3+ weeks for the site tech's visit, then the drawings did not start until 3 days before the next milestone set was due to me. In checking dimensions like the length of my existing kitchen, placement of the main entry door to the home, etc., I found all of them to be incorrect. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. They were dishonest, did not pay their site tech vendor on-time, causing him to contact me with threats of leaning the project before we even had drawings to submit to the city and the management and project coordinators made promises that they did not even attempt to keep or follow-up on promised communications."
