Everyone else may have had an amazing experience with this designer, but I was put off by the very…read morefirst phone call with Galina. Told her how the last person I went with screwed me over and stole my money and after that I could not get a word in edgewise. I hadn't even told her the full story of what happened and she kept telling me what I should have done, designs that person owes me, how I should get back in touch with that person so that they could give me the partial work they did so I could give it to her, etc. I'm an attorney so I obviously know what I was supposed to do in that situation and what that person owes me. And honestly, none of that is her business but I was conveying what happened to me so she knew what situation I was in and that I needed some reliable. However, she missed that point completely and bogarted the conversation. When I was allowed to speak and partially state what work I wanted done, I was never allowed to get my full idea out before she cut me off and told me what was and wasn't possible and what I should be doing instead. I was glad when the phone call was done and agreed for her to send me a quote via email, which I honestly didn't even open. If that how she was on the very first phone call, I knew the rest of the process would be a nightmare. Definitely not worth it. Found someone else on Thumbtack and couldn't be happier.

They did a reserve study for our condo association, and coordinated quotes for deck replacements…read more The reserve study estimate was way below the quotes. They charged extra hourly work of more than $3,000 (which was not in the Association's budget), and wanted to be paid to rework the quotes. The association fired them. We later learned that they forced their subcontractors to price everything high. Not a good experience for us.
