After months of searching for the right fixtures for our bathroom remodel, we stumbled into Studio…read more41 on a Saturday morning in October. We instantly connected with Lauren Stewart, who took our vision for the bathroom we had always wanted, and sketched it out to the inch. Lauren provided recommendations for cabinets and fixtures that turned out to be perfect. What was most amazing about her expertise, was that she provided guidance based on her vast knowledge of her product lines. There was no need "to get back to us" with ideas, she recited them from memory, as if she knew that's exactly what we wanted. Thanks to Lauren and her team at Studio 41, we now have a fully functioning remodeled bathroom !

After living with our remodeled kitchen for six months, I can honestly say there isn't anything we…read morewould've done differently! The local builder we used referred us to Lauren Stewart at Studio 41 in Schaumburg. Lauren, who has an excellent working reputation with our the builder, listened to our thoughts and ideas and came up with some great suggestions. At the same time, she did not take offense if we didn't implement a specific idea or suggestion. We had thought of doing two-tone cabinets and wondered if that would be too much in our small kitchen. Lauren assured us it would work (and why!) and as a result we love our navy base cabinets and vanilla top cabinets. We love the sink and faucet! I love the shelf above the sink; and my husband got the small pantry cabinet he envisioned, which has enabled us to keep the counters free of clutter. Lauren understood our vision, and her attention to detail was second to none. We appreciated being able to borrow cabinet panels to take with us to pick out flooring, countertops and wall color. We now have an updated kitchen (no more soffits!) in our 1950s home, without losing it's warmth and charm.

Their attention to detail is matched only by how quickly they work. Can you believe that I was the hold-up at one point because I never imagined I'd have to order the medicine cabinet so quickly! But they were just so efficient and so so thorough. Thank you to Ryan (consult) Damian (project manager) Klaudia (designer) and Greg (our magician who made it happen!) I randomly found them looking through yelp and I'm so glad that I did, so it was important to me to pass along to whoever is browsing for a remodel! This is your sign to use these guys! Thanks again crew. See you when I talk my husband into the kitchen

We recently worked with 4Ever Remodeling and their whole team to remodel our basement with…read morebathroom, and a bar. I could not be more pleased with the result. Their team patiently worked with us all throughout, offering helpful advice, and addressing any questions or concerns we had. They guided us through the selection process with the various suppliers which was efficient and each vendor was extremely helpful and professional. Prior to starting construction, we were given access to a detailed online schedule so we knew what was planned each day which was so helpful. From the first day of construction, they kept us updated on any changes to the schedule and was very flexible if we needed to adjust anything, and he was always available and responsive if we had questions. From the planning/design process to the daily work, they were extremely communicative and thorough. We were impressed by everyone that worked on this project and the results exceeded our expectations. Additionally, any questions we had were answered quickly. The whole team was absolutely amazing. Everyone was professional, courteous, personable, and so talented. We both work from home quite a bit so we got to know a few of the crew members over the several weeks of the project. What a great group of guys. I cannot speak highly enough about this crew. The process from beginning to end was a great experience and I would recommend this company to anyone without hesitation. Thank you 4Ever Remodeling for giving me the basement of my dreams! Plus, the bar and bathroom were also impressive and has a lot of improvement! Thanks so much to the whole team for the amazing work!

I ordered a Samsung microwave from Best Buy online. It came damaged, we assume it was damaged in…read morethe shipping because on my order the microwave was guaranteed to have no damage. I went to the store for an even exchange however they did not have my microwave in stock (although the BB website said they did). I agreed to have the store order the microwave and it would arrive on Tuesday, not ideal but my only option. Just called today (Wednesday) and spoke with Pacific Sales (who apparently this order is going through). My microwave is still not there. The microwave is not available anywhere so I now must wait until Saturday to pick it up. I have my son's birthday party on Saturday and a hole above my stove for all my guests to see because Pacfic Sales/Best Buy/whoever lied about the shipping date. I could have it shipped to me on Friday but most likely it will come damaged like the first one and I will be caught in this loop. No notice of this delay until I called and no apology for the major inconvenience that this is. I am so upset and will rethink where I purchase my appliances from.

Honestly, everyone there was friendly and attentive, including the Assistant Manager Brian. I didn't love having to drive to Lombard when there's an F&D a few miles from me but the four tile selections I was leaning towards were all available in Lombard and not any other Chicago-land store. It made sense to go to the location that had the most in-stock options. Ultimately I bought a tile that I didn't come across when I browsed online so it was worth the trip. More options and even better service than the Addison location...at least for me. Again, kudos to Demetrius who actually cared that I found what I needed.

We used Design Inside for our recent condo renovation, and we were pleased with our designer,…read moreAbigail. We had looked into three or four design firms and went with Design Inside because we got along well with Abigail from the initial consultation. She's friendly and had suggestions from our first meetings. Our remodeling scope was pretty basic (resurface hardwood floors, install new tiling, new lighting, new kitchen countertops/backsplash/hardware, painting, etc.) We weren't planning on taking down any walls or putting up new walls - hence "pretty basic" in our eyes! The initial few weeks involved back and forth with designs and occasional meetings with Abigail so she could get a handle on what we wanted done. Abigail was accommodating with meeting/phone times, and would often meet with us late afternoons or early evening. She created designs we had never thought of doing (enclosing in structural poles, wainscoting, etc). Abigail also was able to easily "read" my husband and I in terms of color schemes and we ended up choosing one of the first few samples of tiling and backsplash that she dropped off with us. Kudos for that! Abigail also provided us bimonthly hours summary / detail so we knew how much we were being charged for her services. She would break down the time she spent working for us by the minute and it was helpful to see where our dollars were being spent. From a "grand overall design", Abigail did a good job, but when we started getting into the details in the later phases, we did run into a few minor issues. I recommend ordering all materials / furniture / art yourself and not going thru Design Inside. With a little work on the intranet, you can find it cheaper, not to mention a lower delivery charge. We had a few material mix-ups with Design Inside - i.e. we received the wrong hardware; not enough tile or grout was ordered. Abigail's measurements for the den were incorrect so she didn't order enough tile / grout - her measurements for the wallpaper were also off, but this time we almost ordered too much. The invoice system used by Design Inside is a little confusing and you should pay very close attention and track your own expenses. It's hard to describe but trying to track all the bills and refunds with the invoices provided was difficult. Overall - I would recommend Design Inside and Abigail for your remodeling needs. I would just offer a bit of advice to double check measurements and order your own materials, but would still recommend the company. Abigail provided different designs and options that demonstrated her design skills as well as her ability to connect with us in terms of what our goal of the remodel was. In our eyes, that was key.

Katy is the perfect mix of practical and design savvy. In our first meeting, Katy helped me to…read moreprioritize my projects for the biggest impact. In addition, she directed me on where to invest dollars and where we could save. We worked on several areas of my home in tandem...living room, hallway, master bedroom and guest room. Not to mention storage ideas and thoughts on future bathroom projects. The process was seamless and easy. We put a plan together in a few hours and we were off to the races. One of the most enjoyable experiences in working with Katy was the ability for me to add my own personal touches along the way. She really adapts to her clients in terms of how involved they would like to be. For me, I had lots of ideas that Katy helped me bring to life, streamline and balance. And she also encouraged me to take chances with paint colors, fabric upholstery choices and more. My gallery wall is one of my favorites! I could never have measured and hung with such precision. And my reupholstered hallway bench is one of my favorite stand-out pieces. Thanks Katy! I love Katy's design eye, easy-to-work with attitude and desire to put her client's style into every choice. My condo is finally a home! Love it! I highly recommend working with Design Inside and I plan on doing so for my next projects!

I rarely write negative reviews, but I was disappointed with my visit to the Kitchen Studio. I was…read morelooking to install new countertops in my kitchen and bathroom. The Kitchen Studio popped up in my google search as being a local dealer of the specific higher end material I wanted. Upon arrival, an employee told me "they don't do just countertops". Okay. That isn't clear on their website. Then she went on to tell me she can't think of anywhere in the area to refer me that "just does counters". First, of all, there are at least 10 countertop fabricators within a 10 mile radius of Glen Ellyn. Someone in the industry should know this. Second, I'm sure the Kitchen Studio has an in house fabricator or they subcontract it out to someone local (most likely) and thus, why on earth would you not give this person my business??? I have a fairly large kitchen and master vanity. My quotes from the other local fabricators, who do, in fact, exist, are coming in at $120/sq foot and up. I'm giving 2 stars instead of one because all their kitchens on houzz are truly lovely and I'm sure if you hire them they would design a beautiful kitchen.

We signed a retainer to remodel kitchen and small bath and powder room with the kitchen studio of…read moreGlen Ellen that clearly specified their design and project overseeing fees as % of material ( I had to buy everything from them except appliances) and their labor cost. However when cost estimates were developed for contract signing for the project implementation phase, her personal fees were 3 times of what they should have been per our retainer agreement. When I pointed out the retainer terms, instead of correcting, they sent me a new retainer document and told me their process has changed. The change is permanent and sometimes there is a little fallout like this. These were Susan's words in her email to me. I took them to court ( case#2019SR000483 in Dupage county) to get my money back which I did. Susan herself is talented and personable but her business partner and company co-owner's dealings are disappointing and ignorant of basic business ethics. Susan kept saying he handles all money and pricing aspects. I had to walk away! Update 1/10/2020: I stand by my comments and the fact that you completely disavowed the terms of retainer and when I pointed out the pricing terms that we agreed to In the retainer, you emailed me a new retainer document with all pricing terms removed from it. I would have never signed anything or paid you $7k based on that new retainer devoid of any specifics. This was an act of complete lack of integrity. If you are serious about building reputation, practicing integrity will help. Good luck
