"From beginning to end:
No home remodeling projuect is going to go as smoothly as you plan but I think this one went pretty good. There were a few hiccups in communication but nothing too serious to where I would not recommend them or use this company again.
I'd met with  Furniture N Floors at one of the Fort Worth Home and Garden shows. I wasn't overly impressed with the selection that was displayed but I was captivated by their customer service skills. It took me some time to get out to their showroom and once I did, I found plenty of samples that I liked. Lesson: What they have at theses shows are a small portion of what they have in their showroom. Once I got there I met Josh the owner. He was great. He set up a measurement appointment for that evening with Bryan. Bryan's previous appointment completed a little early so he headed to my house. Well I wasn't home. He waited on me for about 45 minutes! He didn't complain at all. He came right in and we talked and he measured. Because the price was a little higher than I expected (and more than I wanted to pay), he measured my home 3 more times. This was to make sure he was being accurate. I had 4 other quotes...some higher and some lower. But in all my other quotes, my measurements were way less than what he'd measured.  Well we talked over the final price and I signed the contract. I had to pay 1/2 down to get started.
And the Work Begins:
One week later their installation team arrived to start demolition of my existing floors. Once the installation team arrived and completed their demo, I found out (after they'd alreadey poured the cement) that my floor had to be leveled. So there was an extra charge for this. FYI, please ask about extra cost. Although my contract specified a final cost on it ( and yes it did say FINAL COST), there are some hidden charges that are not in the contract. I was told there was a charge to use a credit card. I used a debit card and credit card (in my mind these are different) so I thought the charge would be on the portion only charged to the credit card. Nope, it was applied to the final cost which was not what I charged on the credit card. This was not in my contract so I was actually charged double of what I had planned on paying for surcharge fees. To conclude the demo day, the team does clean up everything. Please if you have little children, ask them to put everything in the garage, if possible. I  have 2 little ones and there were baseboards with nails in them neatly placed around my house. but the nails were sticking up...exposed. We had to ask them to at least put the saw and other dangerous tools in the garage.  On day 2 of the remodel, the installation team arrived and laid the floors. I can still hear the angels sing. They did a fantastic job. It really turned out nice.
Through out this process I must say that whatever my concerns were, the entire team promptly addressed them. At the end of the remodeling, I received a followup call from Josh (owner) and Bryan (sales) to ensure that I was satisfied with the final product. And yes I really am. They did a good job. My husband and I are already discussing other areas that need attention and guess who we're going to get to do it? FURNITURE N FLOORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Contractors were friendly, professional, reasonable and made sure I was completely satisfied with the outcome of my project! Will definitely use again!"

"Apex Painting & Remodeling was actually brought in as a subcontractor because of my desire for a built-in bookcase that my potential painter could not do.  He gave me his bid, which encompassed the whole job, to paint my den, formal living room and dining room and to build a custom recessed book shelf to match one on the other side of my fireplace.  It was higher by several hundred dollars than the painter who brought him in, but I just felt he would do a better job for me and I was right.  While I knew the first guy was getting half of the pay, he rarely was on the job and when he was, he rarely did any work.  My children called him "the lazy one".   But I was so thankful he brought Apex in to "help" with my house!   I provided the materials and the owner/operator of Apex, Mr. Roberts provided the skill and labor.  I wanted to see the quality of  the work before I hired Apex for my entire project.  I have just purchased an older home that needs updating. The den was dark paneling which either had to be removed and replaced with sheet rock or floated and painted over.  I chose to have the paneling painted over to save on costs.  Mr. Roberts prepped, primed and painted the walls.  I also had him put up a chair rail and he brought and installed baseboards around the entire den, as we noticed there were none in the room. At first I just wanted to paint the room one color, but then changed my mind and added the chair rail and one color on bottom, one on top and of course a trim color.  This did not faze Mr. Roberts at all, he was happy to accommodate me. I also chose a semi-gloss, but after two coats of semi-gloss was applied, I was not thrilled with the look, so he suggested one coat of flat, which is what we did, only he felt it needed two coats of flat for excellent coverage & that is what he did.  No Complaints.  I decided to add crown molding in my formal rooms with the corner blocks, only I did not like the corner blocks at the store, so he customized them exactly as I wanted.  My rooms are painted beautifully with no overlaps or drips.  He deglazed and sanded my trim twice before enameling, so it does not scratch off.  I know, he had me try to scratch the surface!   Also, no trim paint on the wall, no wall paint on the trim!  The built-in bookcase proved to be more than Mr. Roberts bargained for due to the structure of the house, but he did a wonderful job.  In fact, another contractor was over yesterday and asked what finish my bookcase had been before.  He was surprised when I told him they were newly built and had always been just as they are. I would certainly hire Apex Painting and Remodeling again.  In fact, I have.  He is going to help me with the rest of my home.  I am so pleased that Mr. Roberts took the time to do the job right and paid attention to details.  He could have easily taken advantage of me, as my husband recently passed away, and I am a little lost when it comes to things around the house.    To be honest, I was overwhelmed with the task before me, but Apex came in, calmed me down and took care of it.  I like that Mr. Roberts usually works alone, so he can control the quality of the work.  He will explain what he is doing and why, if you want him to, otherwise, he is very quiet.  And he does not mind if you watch him work.  I would highly recommend Mr. Roberts at Apex Painting & Remodeling, in fact I have already given his card to several friends."

"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me.  Overall, they're good designs.  However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning.  I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.  
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question.  I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done.  If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

"It is a waste of money. The great majority of people are not going to find any value out of the service. If you need design consultation, you need a full service consultation. If you already have knowledge and experience, and you just need to get a few ideas, then you don't need to pay for that. You can just get a magazine or a book since you already have the knowledge of basic designs in your head or a little bit of experience. To have someone call you and give you information over the phone, you are not getting the personal service that you need. You may as well take the money $49 and apply it to something else like getting someone else to come out and give you the service that you need. Because, you are not getting much, you are not getting anything at all. They are going to have you do the work. After talking to them and I was talking to other home designers, I found out that that was a waste of time and waste of money. I gave them a C because they didn't fail at what they do but they don't offer any value for what they do. There's not much value to it. The cost was fair. They didn't do a terrible job and the cost isn't terrible, it was only $49. It just has a very low value. For responsiveness I gave them a B because they will answer your phone and answer your emails."
