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.

He walked into the bathrooms I wanted renovated and asked at least 50 questions. We met again at the Kearny Mesa offices and again went over what I wanted and quality and types of fixtures and finishes I wanted. The next day I received a quotation, which included the total and payment schedule for the work I wanted. Eco was one of 4 total builders I had quote on the job. They sat exactly in the middle, but were the only ones to have a payment schedule after certain work was completed. The others wanted 1/2 up from and then the balance on the close. I felt like if at any point that work that was completed was incomplete, I would have some way of working with them to get it done completely and correctly. Besides Ben that were 3 other team members that coordinated my job. The first was Izabella, the designer and sourcer. Again after a few visits and email exchanges we settled on a design and began the purchase process. After all the materials were acquired, I met with Enrique the daily foreman and Derrick the project manager. The work is now complete and I am very happy. I don't have any real caveats, however, my home was build in 1968 and nothing was standard and a few surprises. Enrique and Izabella just looked for ways to solve issues as they popped up. I have two more possible renovations in the future and will call Eco Home Builders first.

This first interaction gently evolved into design services including replacement curtains and 12 reupholstered chairs/stools. Like other capable design firms, Bard offers tasteful design input and quality output, but what places Bard a cut above the rest is that they don't up-sell. Bettina was sensitive to our budget even when it sacrificed her income. I really appreciated her design input outside of her contracted services.

I was searching for an upholsterer to custom build an ottoman and reupholster some dining chairs.

I decided to stop by and bring my inspiration images, and the owner Bettina immediately introduced herself and had such enthusiasm to ask me about my project! She offered competitive pricing, style, material and construction details, and offered a solution to what I was trying to accomplish for my fabric selection! Bards completed my project in less than the estimated time promised, and hand delivered everything with a white glove service! Not only was I absolutely blown away by how efficient they were in communicating, and how phenomenal the quality was, but she even called me to follow up weeks later to ask me how happy I was with her service! For this, I am so impressed and appreciative, and I will 100% recommend Bards to everyone I know for any reupholstery, new furniture construction, furniture repair and/or restoration and drapery needs! Thank you Bards for doing an outstanding job! I love my chairs and ottoman!

Of course, some things come up along the way with a project as big as ours (2-story addition plus renovating entire existing house), no matter how much planning goes in. But there were always conversations with Nico about everything and I always felt like we were treated fairly and with respect.

I was expecting a number of rounds of back and forth before we got to that point so it showed she really had an understanding of our priorities and style. Since this was our first project, and I'm a very detail oriented person, I had a lot of questions and really wanted to understand everything about the process. She was patient and prompt when answering my questions and going over the details, sometimes repeatedly. I really appreciated that because I know we weren't her biggest client. I was also impressed with her taking the initiative and working with our general contractor to make sure we where all on the same page.
