After I discovered some construction defects in my master bathroom, I contacted Mike Howard to help…read moreme redesign the room. We scheduled a consultation and Mike came up with the design of my dream. We went shopping to the tile store and picked out fixtures. Since the HOA was in charge of the contractors there were many delays and Mike was there when I needed him to answer any questions they had. I wasn't happy with the work they were doing and asked Mike for someone to do the tile work. I met Matt Johnson, Kustom Kreations Tile and Stone. The best contractor I ever hired. Mike, listened to what style I liked and put it down on paper. The project was stressful but Mike was always there to support me.

Michael also did a great job staining a butcher block counter top to the color/shade we needed. We are so happy with the final result of this project! He is clearly passionate about his work and truly wants his customers to be completely satisfied. I would not consider using anyone else for future remodel projects! Yes, Michael is that good!

He saved us a ton of $$ by not charging us for an appointment and instead explained to us over the phone where to buy some cheap parts to solve the problem.

We hired Dean with Authentic Designs in January 2018. We parted ways in July 2018 having made…read morelittle progress. In the 5 months we worked with Authentic Designs the as-build measurements were taken, a survey of our property done and a rendering of a master bedroom remodel presented. In June, after seeing the plan for the new master bedroom we asked Dean what he thought the cost of the project to be. When he didn't answer we asked again this time looking for a range to give us any type of idea on cost. He replied it was a "moving target". Let's face it, if this is your line of work, and you've supposedly been studying a house for months and months you know what the ballpark figures are on the plan you've presented. We were upfront with our budget from the get-go and what we hoped to accomplish with that (needed a new roof, remodel the master bedroom, tweak the kitchen a little, make downstairs more indoor/outdoorsy). I'd easily speculate the proposed plan for the master bedroom probably took up the majority of the budget but we'll never know for sure as he never gave us a figure ...or even easier, a range. There was not a lot of transparency. While Dean is very affable he struggled to keep us abreast on what was or was not happening on our project. We constantly had to reach out to him to see if anything was happening at all. As you can tell from the timeline of our relationship, very little happened in 5 months. I'd say there was very poor management of expectations too. Prior to signing the contract with him, Dean made it seem most of what we wanted to do was possible based on our budget. 5 months in we were only seeing a plan that covered part of what we wanted to do and who knows how much it would have cost. In the end we kissed off our initial deposit and ended up disappointed we had wasted so much time with someone who clearly had us at the bottom of his priority list with a plan for a master bedroom that was probably way out of our reach.

Their willingness to address the issues and follow through made a big difference. Overall, we're happy with our shutters and appreciate the effort they put into getting everything done.
