I needed a small piece of quartz to use as a vanity backsplash in my bathroom. I contacted a dozen…read moreplaces before finding Louis Mian. Most places didn't want to bother for such a small job, or wanted to charge me for a full slab of quartz. Chris was super helpful and responsive, and the price was reasonable. He cut and polished the piece to my specified dimensions, which I then installed myself. I'd gladly return for other projects.

Great stone and superb customer service!! When our house was new to us, we used Louis Mian's to…read moresource and install granite counters and backsplashes in our kitchen and marble counters and floors in our bathrooms. Great selection, great design service and great installation. Fast forward 30 years, and the customer service gets even better. Old house, new leaks. Our bathroom floor gave out due to a leak that took months to source. Facing possible destruction of part of our floor to get at the leak, I went back to Mian hoping beyond hope there was matching stone to be purchased. Jon Mian very kindly went through his inventory and miraculously came up with four pieces of floor tile that perfectly matched that installed by his father. It's a great company that stands behind its customers for generations. Bravo!

We hired Tess for a paint consultation because we bought a new home and needed to paint the first…read moreand second floors. From the moment we met Tess she was incredibly warm, easy to work with and knowledgeable. Her expertise in color was evident as she meticulously and effortlessly combined different hues to create a harmonious color palette and flow throughout my home.

We had finally decided to renovate our condo and had no idea what we wanted. In comes Brad and…read moreKendra to the rescue! They were very thorough and had a lot of reference material we could look at to help us narrow in on our vision. Both Brad and Kendra asked us a lot of questions of what we were looking to achieve and through our input were able to come up with a final look we were absolutely thrilled with! They were very responsive and quick to follow up and came up with multiple alternate ideas when we were unsure about something. Overall we were most happy with the design and color choices that perfectly matched what we had pictured in the back of our minds. They are very flexible whether you're a person who love every minutia of choice or want to throw caution to the wind and let them use their imagination to come up with a design! We would strongly recommend them if you want a unique design or vision that has yet to be discovered!

I was overwhelmed at the prospect of staring at paint chips and second guessing my selections…read more Brad came in and did a walk through on short notice. He accounted for the flooring, direction of light and our existing furniture and transformed our dated home with his paint selections. His picks were spot on. He followed up and communicated with us impeccably. Save yourself the headache and let his eye do the work!

We had hired an designer/architect to design this space. He charged $150/hr. 3 drawings and 3…read moremeetings later it was clear that he was not listening to us and had not even come close to what we had requested. That debacle cost us $2100. We read about Arcbazar.com and decided to try them. We submitted drawings of the space with measurements, described the project and what we would like to see and accomplish, photos of the space. We bid a low $600 for the project and submitted asking for completion in 2 weeks. Within a few days we had 10 people from around the world interested in our project. During the process we received requests for clarification or more information. At the end of the process we had 7 submissions most including elevations, renderings, materials lists and sources. All of these submissions met our basic criteria. All were impressive and beat the $150/hr guy in presentation, value and execution. You can send the designs to friends and family to help you rank the designs. We all agreed on our top 1, 2 and 3 designs. I requested and was given the contact information for our top ranked designer. We have contacted that person to modify the initial design. That is outside of Arcbazar but have to say this part of the process is also going splendidly at a reasonable price. We are thrilled with this process and will never go back. Hints: ~ You might want to allow more time for your project ~ Offer a little more money. The top guy only gets a portion of the pie. ~ Ana, in the office, is also accessible by phone for questions. Just have to work in their time zone. ~ The more specific you are the better results. ~ Our bids came from Armenia, Belaruse, Italy, France, Romania, etc So you get an international flare.

Using Arcbazar was a great experience from the beginning to end! The website was easy to use and…read morethe communication was excellent. It was remarkable how easy, efficient, and non-time consuming it was obtaining these designs; no taking off work to let them in the house etc. The follow-up from Arcbazar was top-notched. We had 13 designers from around the world sign up for our kitchen remodeling project and ended up with a total of 6 designs. 3 of these designs provided excellent ideas on how to rearrange our kitchen after knocking down the wall between the dining room and kitchen to open the space up; ideas we would have never thought of! Our first choice ended up being the design submitted from France! We love it! It has a bit of a European feel to it; beautiful, welcoming, cozy, and very functional. After the kitchen is completed, we plan to use Arcbazar again for a basement remodeling project.
