While they work on hourly consult rates which is a refreshing option for many of us, on a recent project, my business was clearly not valued. Calls and emails were not returned for days or weeks, plans not sent as promised, all eventually resolved through my repeated follow-ups. The justified reason is that a bigger client was requiring all their time. Customer Service 101. I pay my invoices on time and without question. I will set aside the sales tax issue which required multiple emails to be resolved. The last straw was the requirement to pay for a 4th consult by a sharp deadline or my consult would be canceled. What choice did I have? I will find an interior design firm that will appreciate my business.

We've lost count of the number of times we have gotten compliments on pieces that she either found or personally designed for us. We used KW to help interior design and decorate the first ever home we owned. When we went to sell this home years later, it quickly became clear that her selections and finishing were a big part of the overwhelmingly positive response to our listing - which led to us selling the home in 6 days after listing! Oh, and the buyer wanted to purchase most of the pieces and furniture which KW had selected for the space :-) So when we moved into our new home, we naturally reached out to KW again to enlist her help for this place - and again it has made such an amazing difference. We built this house from the ground up, and her design aesthetic and touch has really made this house feel like a home. With interior design, the devil is in the details - and KW is on top of every single one!

Over the years, I've had other handymen pass on the project. I had a handyman who was able to fill the rotted areas with wood filler, sand it, and restain it. I've even had a gate company tell me that they could not save the gate; it would need to be completely replaced. Bill was able to cut out the rotted pieces of wood, replace them, and restain the whole gate (he also repainted the decorative hardware on the door as well). Moreover, he discussed the project with a buddy of his and they determined that the gate was sitting over a muddy part of landscaping which is probably what facilitated the deterioration of the wood. We found some leftover pavers in our storage shed and Bill extended the pavers so the gate would sit over pavers instead of mud. Before he embarked on the wood gate repair, Bill also installed a valance/shade over a window. He made the necessary calculations to ensure that the valance/shade would be centered on the wall and window. He also made sure that the valence was leveled. Bill is honest, meticulous and detail-oriented. If you want someone to treat your project and your home, like it's his own, I would give Bill a call.
