One of 3 quotes received to install a dog bath in our finished basement laundry room. First it took…read moreseveral weeks and broken commitments and I finally received a quote for part of the work. 2 bids I received included all materials and were $7800 and $9500 respectively. The 3rd quoted was from Tom of Oak Design and it was $35,000 and I was responsible for purchasing all materials (in addition to the $35,000). Wow, you can imagine I was at a loss. When I exchanged emails asking for clarification, Tom explained "We are a larger firm with a larger overhead." We've remodeled several homes in Chicago, Fort Meyers and The Woodlands, TX and we used licensed, Bonded, Insured larger firms and we've never had such a discrepancy in bids. Granite this is a smaller job, but if they didn't want the job, why waste our time and theirs. I should mention the company did a large job for my wife's sorority sister so we assumed a fair quote. Beware...obtain 3 bids!!!!

Summary: If attention to detail matters to you... Look elsewhere. The quality of work was sub-par…read moreand the grout they installed in our shower is failing after only 9 months. The Good: There were responsive in providing an estimate to take my money. The Bad: Basically everything else. The work was obviously sub-par given that grout is failing after only 9 months. The project started 2 weeks after estimated start date and finished 8 weeks after the estimated finish date. In fairness to the contractor, the building engineer caused 3 weeks of the finish time delay. At the final inspection we created a checklist of 6-8 items that needed correction (damaged paint, poor drywall work, damaged glass on the shower door, etc.). The next final inspection corrected 5 of the items and caused 2 new items worth of damage. Rinse and Repeat at least 2 more times.

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

Everything was smooth, and the team was very helpful and responsive whenever we found minor issues. They even suggested some great ideas to implement that we didn't think were possible! They are transparent, provided regular status reports, and never tried to upsell extra work after signing the contract. From start to finish it was an amazing experience. They even gave us a free estimate, answered all of our questions, and they were so friendly. Overall, it was a good experience. I highly recommend them if you need to do a remodel. I would definitely hire this team again with my next project.

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!
