We made a big mistake in trusting this person especially if she can't return the calls and hides hoping I will go away. Really Sa

With his experience and knowledge we priced my home for far more than I expected and even questioned his boldness in pricing however he was right, I received multiple offers within two days! Not only is Terry an experienced Real Estate Agent I found his knowledge of houses and remodeling invaluable, he guided me through multiple projects and repairs through the years, I don't know what I would've done without his help, and he knows the vendors to call to get the job done right. Terry helped me with the purchase of this home several years ago, I never considered another agent when it was time to sell, he has been terrific through the years.

I wrote an earlier review of Terry Barbery, but for some reason, I don't see it posted so I will…read morepost another (with updated information). Terry recently represented my husband and me in our recent purchase of a home in Incline Village. He is well connected in the local area and is very knowledgeable about the market. He has a good sense of what are good selling features in a property and what may not be as good of an investment. He will not push you to like a property or try to convince you that it's a great purchase if it's not (especially saw this in contrast to other listing agents who were really irritating and not very credible). Terry can provide very useful feedback regarding the properties and how they can be improved or remodeled - and which properties may require too much work and money to be a good purchase/investment. He is very trustworthy and also able to refer us to various tradespeople who can provide high quality remodeling assistance at a good price. We are so glad that we have had Terry to guide us in the purchase of our home and as we continue to work on the remodeling of the property.

We worked with DesignBar for nearly two years (2019-2020) on every stage of the design, build and…read moreimplementation for our Truckee home. While the firm is world class, it was having Holly Galbo Bopp as our lead point of contact and designer that made the process outstanding. Like anything, you can get products anywhere; it's all about the people. And Holly and the DesignBar founders were amazing. From selecting items in our budget and sourcing things that were our style to being adaptable and rolling with the changes of a new build, Holly was communicative, creative, and a problem-solving wizard. Our home is truly a "home" and the look and feel is a big part of that. Highly recco these folks and am personally grateful for the work! We'll enjoy it for a lifetime!

I had engaged with them to redesign 2 bathrooms and a powder room. It was not a big job and maybe…read moreas such low priority for them and not important. Holly who I was working with us definitely not a senior designer based on my experience. Entry level at best would be my evaluation. No attention to detail, no active listening skills, no due diligence, every meeting was a complete waste of time as she remembered nothing from those meetings. billed for every thing but delivered NOTHING based on what I had been shown I would get when I initially met with them. I eventually had to engage with Sarah the owner who at least measured up accurately but I still don't have finished plans or a spec sheet - nothing from a deliverables standpoint I was expecting for over $4000. I'm still waiting, I paid the invoices in hope I would get a final product but alas I must be very small potatoes for them. I would avoid this company like the plague unless you want to waste your money on people with little customer service as a priority and a company that will charge you for every email and still not deliver a final product! They give designers a bad name!!! I wish I had read Catherine's review before engaging as I'd agree with her over budget and under delivered. Holly didn't do any due diligence with measurements! No actual advise or direction on space saving ideas! Really a waste of over $4000 o could have and did most of that work myself! Their taste is old and antiquated! No creativity at all! FACTS: 1. Project started mid-December - it's now almost April and I still don't have a final 'folder' they advised I would get. 2. The owner agreed the work Holly provided as 'final' was not acceptable and stepped in to fix the issue. Yes I got plans with measurements eventually, but 3-weeks after she took over I still don't have a final spec sheet. 3. The owner kept going back to Holly to ask questions, Holly clearly couldn't remember a thing from our meetings and made stuff up so what Sarah the owner was getting was basically made up stuff and nothing that seemed even close to the conversations are agreements we had made. 4. It's also interesting how the owner has so much time to respond to these reviews vs actually finishing the project. 5. If anyone is interested in seeing what I first got from them, what Sarah sent which was better and the spec sheet that was not correct. Let me know I'm happy to share all this. It's nowhere close to what they advertise on Instagram and what they showed me I would get to 'hand over to the contractor'.

She's very interested in the sustained satisfaction of her customers and, in particular, she helped us with renovations, improvements, local handymen's services and the like for months after the close of the purchase.

Laying down blankets to protect carpets and floors to cleanup. Exceptional work. They always showed up on time, were fast and efficient and professional. We didn't have to wait days for everything to be done. They stuck to a very tight schedule and were done quickly. I would definitely recommend Pacific Stone Creations to everyone looking. Huge selection too.

I then if they would do my pantry and laundry room with the extra and they said they would but had to charge me for it. after a lot of talk they finally agreed to do it. when install day came they couldn't get it lever and blamed it on my cabinets not being level. but it wasn't the problem. the problem was the new slab I had to order was 1/8in thinner. they told me I couldn't have anyone standing on the countertops or they would break most likely. I told them they had to figure out a better solution. my husband ended up having to step in and help them add shims under the slabs to make it level. then they had to saw down underneath where the slabs meet to make it look even. then after install they asked me how it looked. I could barely get my cabinet drawers open. they told me there was a setting to lower my cabinets. which there is, but they were already on the lowest setting. low and behold they made the overhang 1/8in longer then normal so that's why the drawers almost hit the counter. nothing could be done at that point. 8months later the seems are already starting to crack. overall unimpressed $15k later. dont use them
