"Awesome everything went as it should price was great and services rendered were awesome highly recommend custom exteriors"

"We had a small job but I was very pleased with the service outcome as I had an overall pleasant experience from initial contact to completion of the install. Solid Stone Fabricators rep contacted me in a timely fashion reqarding my emailed inquiry via Angie's List where I included a picture of cabinet needing counter and provided measurements and they were able to give me an estimate via phone and email based on the info I provided which I appreciated instead of wasting my time to come out first.
Gerardo who was my contact person was very easy to work with and very responsive to follow-up questions before the install. There was an error that was made by the guys during the install but Gerardo ensured that it was rectified and in a timely fashion as well, pain free which was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this company to friends and family and will use them in the future.

"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."

"I purchased a big deal for interior design work.  I submitted photos of room, measurements, and information about the room.  They then requested a drawing on graph paper of the room with "detailed dimensions", and the process just became too difficult.  I would not recommend having interior design work done by someone who cannot come into the home and see the space.  This may work for some people but just did not work for us.  I requested and received a refund for purchase.

"I will be very honest in my assessment of Amanda. Sitting in front of me I have a beautiful design for my living room and dining room in a townhouse I owned in Houston. Amanda picked beautiful, comfortable chairs, nice wallpaper and very cool lighting.  The problem with Amanda is not her ability to design an amazing room - she certainly is very talented. The problem I experienced with Amanda was the inability to handle the details, to stay on top of the project, and to assist with actually putting the room together. This may be a problem in general, with all on-line designers, who knows.  I do know that I ordered this package from Amanda in August of 2013.  My first conference call with her was some time around October, and my designs were given to me (not the complete design) some time in December.  I learned quickly that when Amanda says she would have something for me "by the end of the week," she really meant about 2-3 weeks down the road.  In any event, I was elated when I got my first design for my dining room. I delayed placing an order because the stuff she picked was a bit pricey and I wanted to save my money over the holidays. I placed an order in early February for two rugs and a chandelier - totaling well over $3,000.00. Amanda advised that it could take about 4 weeks for the rugs and chandelier to come, which was no problem with me.  8 weeks passed and I began emailing Amanda. (Mind you that the money was charged to me immediately, with no follow up emails from any of the manufactures, no indication of shipping, nothing... so I began to feel uneasy). After a couple of unreturned emails and phone calls, Amanda apologized for the delay, mentioned that she was surprised I hadn't received anything yet, and explained to me her mother was in an accident. No biggie, but I explained to her that I would be out of the country in mid-April and unavailable to sign for anything. She assured me the rugs were en route from Georgia and would be there before I leave.  As far as the chandelier, we discovered that they had attempted to deliver it, but Amanda had provided them the incorrect phone number, so they were not able to get in touch with me. I asked her to correct this so I could receive the chandelier. Because I never heard back from the company, and no additional attempts to deliver were made, I am assuming she did not do this.  And, as could be expected, the rugs did not come before I left - they came when I was in Germany and when no one was home to sign for them. Since over 12 weeks had passed since my order, I contacted my credit card company and initiated a charge back.  They agreed with me that it was concerning that so much time had passed with very little contact, and immediately refunded my money. (Amanda and her husband eventually tried to fight my chargeback, but they were of course unsuccessful. I did not have the goods, and they never attempted to re-deliver them). Also, I will add the following to things about my experience with Amanda, which bothered me:
1) I was told in January I would have curtains and throw pillows picked out "by the end of the week." Those never came.
2) Amanda said she had a client in Florida who would ship me a sample of the wallpaper. This never came either. Amanda said it was shipped to me - I never received it and kind of doubt it ever was.
So basically, $500 dollars for two rooms of design got me some dining room chairs (albeit - awesome), a table she picked out that was too expensive so I found a different one, some cool wallpaper that I will never be able to get a sample of, two expensive rugs and a chandelier that resulted in a credit card fight and a headache. At the end of the day, my advice is that if you want a talented and friendly person to design your home, don't mind waiting some time for it all to come together, and are cool with locating the stuff and putting it all together on your own, Amanda may be it for you. If you want a designer who is good at following up with details, assuring stuff gets to you in a reasonable time, and assists with pulling the room together and finalizing your project, I would highly recommend you find someone else."
