"There was no former apology or a phone call. Being an interior designer, you would think she would have a tape"

"The design was totally useless to me. I was extremely disappointed.

"Okay let's discuss Craig and his services. Back story - I have a very small house and have never gone through a renovation before. This is such an expensive proposition and I wanted to make sure I was going to get it right - aesthetic choices in the kitchen, redoing a bathroom, reconfiguring our living space to be one big open room and how to manage that flow, and how to integrate it into the part of our first floor that wasn't part of this renovation. I literally didn't know where to begin: Hire an architect because we're bringing down walls? A structural engineer? A designer to sketch the space first? I found Craig on Angieslist and reached out thinking that he would be the smartest first step in this project. He has *easily* been the best money I've spent on this six-figure job. He responded to me immediately and came out to my house for a consultation. We immediately clicked, and his professionalism and perfect attention to detail were obvious. Without hesitation I hired him to help me through this, though I didn't understand at the time exactly how much I was going to need him. Here's what this wonderful man does: He made multiple renderings of our space to help us envision how to better use it (this involves a complete reconfiguration of a kitchen and bathroom, walls coming down, etc...) His vision made complete sense, and as I wanted to make minor tweaks here and there he rolled with me and redid the renderings. Once we knew how we wanted to configure the space, he gave us an intense packet for us to get bids on this; he also introduced us to a general contractor who we decided to use for the renovation. Knowing Craig and his expectations made me so comfortable to use the person he recommended - AND this contractor's price beat the others. Instantly the money I spent on Craig paid for itself. Once we got the contractor in motion, Craig then began to bring in the aesthetic options for us to choose from. My husband and I both have crazy full-time jobs; I don't want to visit showroom after showroom to research all kinds of materials. The stuff that was really important to me I dove into (counter for the kitchen island, for instance.) But the other stuff? Craig would give us 4-5 choices and let us pick. Perfect. Instant choices that are sophisticated and match the vision we laid out for the space that I didn't have to spend hours on AND that were within the budget we'd discussed with him. Even better is the fact that the pricing he gets on these materials is at HIS rate. Our cabinets would have been $35,000; his rate cut it down to $25,000. Today I priced out appliances at a local showroom; he took the exact specs to his rep and brought the price down by 10%. Again - I'm saving more money overall than I'm spending on his services. For the stuff that is important to me, he has conversation after conversation with me about how to make it work, and we're also working on a brand new island countertop material to try to get the marble look I want without the upkeep. It absolutely requires more work on his part to get to know this material and to help make sure it's the right choice, but he didn't hesitate when I told him I'd like to pursue this. When our contractor found a flaw in our plan that was going to leave a support column in an awkward spot, he literally worked for hours on how we could either integrate it into our design or eliminate it altogether. I knew I was hiring the right person to help me make the right aesthetic and material choices when I hired Craig, and I was happy to pay for that. What I didn't know was all of the service and bonus extras that he would bring to this renovation. I didn't know I'd be able to get better rates by going through his vendors. I didn't know I'd find a contractor to work in coordination with him over the course of the project. And I didn't know that he would literally help me make every choice that I need to make, from the bathroom mirror to the tone of the flooring to the pendant lights. I literally couldn't do this project without him. He's the best money I've spent on this house that we've owned for 15 years."

"It was wonderful. They were the best."
