We hired Ogee to re-face our kitchen cabinetry on our new build home. We bought the home with new…read moreIKEA cabinetry and wanted to upgrade to a natural and heavier duty material. We significantly upgraded (see photos) working with Ogee. Since the cabinetry was brand new, we came up with a design plan to re-use the boxes and re-face all of the surfaces (drawers, doors, side and back panels). Jasper showed up to measure each detail of the boxes so that everything would fit exactly. He did a phenomenal job of planning out how the White Oak grain would run seamlessly on all of the drawers running across in synchronicity. This was an attention to detail I would not have thought of but that made an enormous difference in how high-end it would give the final look. He also included us in all of the details, like how we wanted the hidden "handles" to be worked into the surface of the Oak doors, or a finishing detail like where to place the handles on all of the drawers. He didn't just make that guess for us and he participated in the decision making with some excellent suggestions and guidance. This ensured that we were going to adore the finished outcome, which we do. Truly making it our dream kitchen. Jasper really listened and worked closely with us, he showed that he really cared about the project and wanted it to have a lasting impact for our days to come in this home. We loved Ogee's work so much, we also had Jasper come in and do custom White Oak built in shelves in a bedroom and laundry closet, and he re-worked an existing standing shelf for the office. We really couldn't have had a better experience! We moved into our house mid-July. Jasper came in by end of July and had our entire kitchen and the shelving done within 4 days. He worked tirelessly and with a funny and upbeat attitude. A true pleasure to be around. He was careful and attentive to the project throughout. Working with Ogee was above our expectations and we highly recommend. Working with any kind of home contractor can be scary, but not with Ogee!

We didn't get past the preliminary phase. Even scheduling the Zoom was a bit rocky -- Andrew…read moreproposed times to meet and then didn't respond in time to confirm, which set the tone. During the call itself, a surprising amount of time was spent venting about a previous client who had changed their mind about their layour. I was also mansplained the IKEA manufacturing process (I was very clear I'm looking for custom cabinetry) which felt unnecessary and off-topic. The rough sketches I provided worked for other cabinetmakers to generate bids, but Andrew repeatedly insisted that Ogee would require additional professional drawings before providing any estimate. That's fine if it's their policy -- but the way it was communicated felt dismissive. A large chunk of the call was spent watching him try to locate photos of a past project while he was screen sharing. After several minutes of this, I asked if we could just refocus on the conversation. Overall, the interaction felt scattered and oddly adversarial for what should have been a straightforward information-gathering session.

Shawn took a look around, listened to what I had in mind, and thankfully told me what would or wouldn't work. He picked a beautiful quartz counter top, gave me options to choose from for the paint, faucet and hardware. He has a great team working for him. They were respectful and trustworthy. The refinished cabinets look like new. They do high quality work. He made his best effort to get things done within the time frame discussed but, as with any renovation, there were some unexpected issues that led to minor delays and affected cost. I really appreciated how his main concern was that I was happy with the end result.

Due to unusual circumstances, we had a very tight timeline (see below for more details) so they were able to finish in 2 1/2 months. Overall, we are very happy with the end result and love our new, open layout! TL:DR version: - GREAT construction team/vendors and Fadil is the BEST project manager. Also the flooring contractor, Izec, is amazing. - Loved the design recommendations made by Shawn, like the floating shelves and bench by the window. - Pricing is competitive. Quality of work is fantastic. Designs are beautiful. - Area of improvement: better communication throughout the project. I had to be proactive and ask a lot of questions and follow up often. They offer both design and construction services, all under the same owner. This was convenient in that I only had to deal with one company and they took care of everything. Our project was unusual in that I was 6 months pregnant when we started the project. Typically, they don't start on construction until all materials are in stock but we needed to get things moving and completed quickly, so we ordered mostly standard sized and in-stock materials. The owner, Shawn, kept his promise on adhering to our timeline to the best of his ability, even as we ran into challenges with plumbing, structural, and electrical. His team worked tirelessly--even on weekends--to meet our deadline, without sacrificing quality or details. With any major construction, nothing is flawless. The one challenge I had, which may be unique to my circumstance, was getting proactive updates and just overall communication. At times, the construction team didn't even know what they were working on. Some of the designs didn't match the materials ordered. There was some miscommunication on which materials we were responsible for vs. what they would get for us. These were minor issues that eventually got resolved but it did cause me some stress and unrest. Highly recommend being proactive, with any big construction project, and staying close to the details... At the end of the day, despite some bumps, we now have our dream kitchen! And it was completed in record time! Last but not least, if you're told that any materials are "stuck" at the Oakland port, GET SOMETHING ELSE that's in stock. There is no ETA on when things will get unloaded at the dock...could be weeks or even months.

We engaged with Chelsea and Lissette on an e-design project for several rooms in our home, including our living room, sitting area and bedroom. We were looking for design services but didn't need the traditional full service and loved the concept of e-design. We were blown away by the final product! They listened to our project needs, incorporated our design aesthetic and came up with a concept that we would have never gotten to on our own. They were flexible throughout the process, even incorporated some existing furniture we loved. We went through two rounds of revisions and had a shopping list so that we could have full control of what we wanted to purchase and what we wanted to hold off on getting. The final product looked complete and cohesive. We love our more moody living room which compliments the light,more airy feel of the sitting room next door. They relate to each other while being distinctly different and beautiful. We get endless compliments on these spaces. I'm so glad we engaged with TH. They're professional, detailed, organized (no surprises!), and great communicators. Designing your home can be stressful but the process here was fun and enjoyable (as it should be!) and most importantly, we love the end result.
