I am writing this review on the heels of using (2) separate staging companies simultaneously for…read more(2) separate homes within the last 2 1/2 months. I am a real estate investor who does a lot of the legwork to market a property myself. Fresh Perspecives staged one of my investment homes for me at the end of May 2018, and I am giving them 3-stars instead of 1 or 2 for their excellent professionalism, fantastic organization and responsiveness, and the ability to get the job done well. The house they staged closed the third week of July and I was satisfied with the job they did. The reason I am not rating Fresh Perspectives 5 stars is as follows: I found their contract and scheduling tactics to be extremely rigid. I get it that they are probably a high-volume business and deal with a lot of unorganized listing agents or homeowners and therefore have to run a tight ship as a result, but now that I've shopped it around I see the difference. Secondly, in terms of the quality of the staging and beauty of the work, hands down my other property I just staged this week (with Interior Designer Dana Zarb) is far more superior in terms of furnishings, amount of detail, and beauty of the design; I wished I would have found Dana sooner! Today my senior photographer from Showcase that took photos says it's probably the best staging he's ever seen. And the kicker is for the same 60-day period (design, staging, de-staging, and 60 day rental), Fresh Perspecives charged 50% more than what I am paying today to Dana. What I learned when getting more estimates is that most every other stager "includes" in the initial invoice a 60-day rental of the furniture, Fresh Perspectives only 30. As a result, I am walking away from the Fresh Perspectives experience feeling a bit price-gauged when I could have paid a lot less and gotten a far better job. In summary, Fresh Perspectives provides an acceptable service, but there are better alternatives so do your due diligence and shop it around!

When I think about my experience with b. blanton design, I think of the word "exceptional." I had…read morelived in my home for nearly two years, yet my very busy schedule meant I was living more like a college student than a functioning adult. That also meant that I needed someone who could not only bring in ideas and a good eye for design, but also who could handle the details, coordinate with vendors, and provide a full-service package. Brittney and Lauren did an outstanding job in our 9 months working together. They took the time to understand what I liked, what was important to me, and what was a good fit for the space. I'm a nitpicky person, and they were very flexible and willing to hear and accommodate my feedback on selections, yet they also knew how to bring me down to earth when my ideas got a little crazy. Their communication was clear and consistent, and I felt that I could always reach out with questions and concerns. Now, when I look around my home, a smile always comes to my face. I feel like I have a real home--a beautiful home--and I have b. blanton design to thank for that. It's been a worthwhile investment, and I hope I can call on them again soon.

Their attention to detail, quality control, communication, and professionalism are top-notch. We interviewed a number of builders for our project, and I've worked with a lot of builders and general contractors in the past. Lotus is by far the highest quality, most communicative and most professional builder I've worked with. I've also been very impressed with their Buildertrend app that allows us to track all budgets, invoices, daily logs with photos, etc. We've had three different neighbors (two were architects and one was a general contractor) who stopped us on the street to tell us how impressed they were with the design and quality of construction, and that Lotus was building at a much higher quality than what they were used to seeing. We did a lot of higher end finishes, and everything has come together beautifully. We are extremely happy with the end results, and we plan on using Lotus for the next phase of our renovation project as well.

A complete nightmare from start to finish. It seems my experience matches the pattern I've now seen…read morereported by many others. The worksite was disorganized, unclean, and unsafe. They failed to protect marble countertops, existing stone flooring, and even used an antique table from a Memphis hotel as a storage surface. Basic tasks were left incomplete for months at a time. Entire weeks went by with no one showing up to work. From June through March, little to no meaningful work was completed. We planned to fire them in March because they continually dragged their feet while promising progress that never came. During this period, multiple other contractors and builders visited the property and all independently commented that they had never seen such a disorganized worksite. Tools were scattered everywhere, dust and debris were left unmanaged, nothing was covered or protected, and timelines showed complete incompetence. Some work was left half-finished while new work was started, creating unnecessary rework costs and delays. Walkthroughs were almost never scheduled unless we asked for them. Tasks were often redone multiple times due to poor planning and oversight. We received no meaningful updates, no explanations for delays, and no transparency. Promises that the project was "on schedule" were empty. Without our persistent calls and texts, the project would have continued to sit at the bottom of their priority list. We finalized the budget and all major design decisions in November alongside our interior designer, who has confirmed this. Despite that, the builder unilaterally changed the scope. When we asked why the budget had increased by $100,000, he sent a text admitting the scope had been changed - something we never approved. We never signed a single change order. After that, the budget kept climbing, increasing by approximately another $400,000 without a single call, text, or email notifying us. There was never a moment where he said, "Just so you know, the budget is increasing by $500,000." Who does that to a client? What kind of builder blindsides their customer like that? Quality Issues     *    Cabinets were delivered with major defects, some undersized to the point that internal shelving was exposed.     *    Paint on cabinets began chipping within a week of "handover."     *    The house was left with multiple water leaks, unresolved HVAC issues, electrical problems, and plumbing defects, far too many to list here. This was a renovation of a 4,000-square-foot home that dragged on for 12 months and remains unfinished. I saw no organization, no accountability, and no quality control, but they were quick to overbill, misrepresent, and blame the customer for their own failures. In my opinion, this company is not just careless, but they use predatory tactics to extract more money while delivering substandard, unsafe, and incomplete work. The stress, damage, and financial loss they caused me, both personally and professionally, cannot be overstated.

I rarely review on yelp however in looking for another wallpaper installer Lillian's name came up…read moreand I must warn people. Lillian and her assistant did a great job installing. Precise and beautifully done. I ask for an estimate three times before they began and during the process. She kept saying "ill send it when I get home" or "I'm unable to right now". She sent a bill after the job was complete and it was 2600 for the install alone. This was a small guest bedroom. I refused to pay the full amount as it is about 3 times the amount of the most expensive price per foot installer in the city. My GC stepped in and negotiated and she came down a bit. And then a month later she must have forgotten and she sent me ANOTHER BILL which I would not pay. I also got the feeling she seriously underpays her assistant. I do not recommend using Lillian unless you have a set price before hand. I'm now looking for another installer for another job.

But unfortunately that is will be the highlight of your experience with Lillian. It will be all downhill from there! If her wallpaper installations skills ever match those of her ability to sweet talk you with broken promises and the lie to you over the telephone with reassurances that she will show up when she assumed you that she will. You will want to believe her because she seems so sweet. But be warned. She has no problem whatsoever trying to string you along and try not to loose your business. If you have a deadline that you are trying to meet DO NOT consider using her. Do not be impressed with her website or her cal reassuring demeanor on the phone. Go elsewhere my friend.
