Bitarchitects provided a prompt response, prompt call phone consultation & next steps. Within 1 week of contact I was able to discuss my concerns, the engineer completed a thorough walk through of my home & gave me ample amount of time view discuss my concerns. More importantly they didn't drag out the walkthrough for hours!! I appreciate the honest responses to help distinguish between normal settlement & items that are concerning. I'm waiting on the written report (inspection was completed one business day before writing this review) to proceed with the fixes. I strongly urge spending time & money on an inspection from a structural engineer before spending $$$$ for repairs that aren't needed. Prior to contacting I had 2 vendors try to sell me solutions for problems I didn't have. The price I paid for the inspection literally saved me $$,$$$. My selection of Bitarchitects was because they heard my initial concern, were quick to provide service, & provided communication from initial inquiry to the day of service.

Terry Bitar and her team were great to work with every step of the project. They handled things large and small to successfully complete the project. It was easy to communicate with the team, both on big picture issues and on smaller logistical issues. Bitarchitects listened to us and provided us with options and expertise to navigate the task of structural reinforcements for our 100-year old DC home. I also appreciated that, in addition to talking through things, they neatly put things in writing so there was a clear documentation of the project. -- We had an urgent concern with a structural issue in our old house so we reached out to Bitarchitects based on their good reviews here. We received a prompt response and soon had an engineer evaluating our house. The engineer was thorough, helpful, and went above and beyond. He provided a lot of valuable insight both on site and then in a comprehensive written report. I also appreciate that Bitarchitects is able to help me find vendors to complete the work recommended in the engineering report. I have had a great experience from the start and would recommend Bitarchitects to other homeowners.

From the start, Lynne was a fully-fledged member of the team. She listened carefully and offered numerous solutions. She recommended the areas to concentrate on and also the areas where staging might not be needed. Her estimates were spot on and she communicated clearly about any additional expenses that might occur. Perhaps most importantly, the staged property looked great and sold sooner than we expected. Whether you are a seller looking to stage the property or a homeowner looking to add style and flair, I would definitely recommend working with Lynne and Dreamcastles Interiors.

She understood exactly what I needed and help me design my perfect closet. She was knowledgeable and got the pricing to me right away. The pricing was a very good value, I had two other prices, and they were the best. The order came in on time and they installed it when they said that they would. The two installers were delightful. They came on time. They were very professional and clearly knew what they were doing. They had my huge closet installed before noon. I couldn't be more happy with the design, the color, the installation, and the overall closet I now have for my beautiful home. I highly recommend this business.

We were initially impressed with the style and comfort of our new sofa, however, the workmanship is…read moredefinitely not what it used to be! In less than 18 months of owning our new furniture, the seam on one of our sofa cushions is pulling apart. I contacted our local store and sent pictures. She indicated that it looked like a manufacturing defect and forwarded our concerns to customer service/corporate office. She indicated we should be contacted by the company in the next few days. When we did not receive a return call in over a week, I reached back out to the store for the customer service numbers so I could contact them myself. After several phone calls, emails, and text conversations with customer service, they have "looked" at the pictures and determined the seam separation is "normal wear and tear". It also falls outside of the 12-month fabric warranty on the sofa. The rest of the furniture, outside of this seam, looks brand new. We have made multiple attempts to have the seam repair covered by providing photos and information. Each person who reviews our claim provides a different explanation of the cause of the damage ("defective seam", "visible, broken piping", and "heavy use"). They make any excuse possible to not cover a poorly sewn seat cover. Save yourself the headache and consider other options! The quality of La-Z-Boy is not the same as it was a decade or two ago!

Before I start with the review, the kitchen looks Fantastic, finished. However, getting there…read morewasn't the best experience. When we first hired One Stop Kitchen and Bath for the job, they were responding quick, coming out for the estimates, and everything was smooth. They told us it would take 4 weeks, and we will have a completely brand new kitchen. As the job started, it seemed to be going smoothly, they seemed to be working very fast. However, it started to diminish by week two. They started canceling on days they were supposed to come. I noticed that the design was flawed and cabinets that were put in were not able to be opened while another cabinet was opened. The design needed be changed. The communication practically diminished, we were not getting timely responses from the people in charge. There were instances where they ordered the wrong things that were stated in the contract and agreed on, and they tried to charge us extra for change orders. Be VERY aware of the charge for "change orders", they were very expensive. I am convinced the workers broke items we had in the kitchen and it was stated that "the workers may be afraid to admit they broke it". During the job, a large hole was made in the wall through my garage, they covered the hole with spackle and hung my ladder back up as if it never happened. After I noticed this, I had them come back out and respackle the hole AND repaint it. I'm not sure they would have done that if I hadn't seen it and said something. All in all, the job is finally complete over a year later. The communication after the job starts, was poor, they may try to charge you extra for things that were their mistake. Just be extra aware and speak up if something is done wrong, is broken or missing and stick up for yourself. Double and triple check the design that is drawn out. Make sure everything will open and close as it should and you have room to walk around things. As I said in the beginning, the kitchen looks Fantastic and with a lot of extra effort figuring things out, they are going to fix the mistakes they made...in time. Nice staff and employees that came out, but would not use them again.

We did a total master bathroom remodel, scheduled a consultation and Shay Foreman came to our home…read moreand listened to what we wanted while providing critical suggestions and feedback and answering all our questions and concerns. She took measurements and our information and promised us a rendering of what out new bath would look like. We gave her creative liberty (because she is the expert) and she showed us a beautiful design proposal. Next came the selection of the materials we were to use, again, the patience Shay showed us is really appreciated since we are "novices" at this. She offered color suggestions, color compatibilities, texture differences and price ranges for the suggested materials. Not once was she "pushing" a certain product or style, although she would offer counter points to ensure we were looking at all possible angles. After looking at four other proposal/offers, we decided to go with Onestop because of the experience already and the price/value promised by Umut. Then came the in home measurements and design, this where Rommel and his team came in and verified what we wanted. We actually did a mid-construction adjustment because of Rommel's suggestion which we welcomed. This adjustment did cost me a dime. Again, very much appreciated. They said it would take up to six weeks to complete, but they were finished in three. The workers were very professional, laying down protective mats when they began and cleaning up after the day. They were also very proficient and letting me know what was going on. Umut came in and did the final inspections after Rommel ensured punch list items were completed. We are very pleased and happy with our new bathroom. The team of Shay, Rommel and Umut is to be envied by other renovation companies. Thank you so much!
