Our first attempt to walk into Lee Douglas was railroaded by our perception that this business was…read moremore consulting than furniture; consulting/designing wasn't what we needed. So we bypassed it and went into The Loft around the corner! (Read my review on The Loft. An amazing place that I just want to soak in!) At the Loft we were referred to Lee Douglas, "if you love us, step next door to our sister company and be amazed". So we walked around the corner and into an amazingly well set up space. Usually furniture stores are wide open spaces with scads of couches, chairs etc that one has to pull their creativity together. At Lee Douglas they stage furniture that provides a homey comfort feel. The furniture is beautiful and unique. Clients do have the opportunity to customize with the wide variety of fabrics, colors and they have wallpaper. The real gem is with Brenda!! She was fabulous!! She has a warm greeting meeting us as we walked in. Asked great questions and shared some wonderful guidance. The only reason this is not a 5 star rating is that we haven't actually purchased anything yet to assess the quality after some use. However I wouldn't hesitate to buy my next piece from them! Recommend you stop in and ask for Brenda. She won't disappoint!!

This review is long over due - we have worked with Lorele and Lee Douglas for many many years. The…read moremost positive thing I can review is how they treat customers- Lorele gave us the same attention and fantastic service from when we bought our very first house to building our dream home many years later - that matters and says so much about her attitude and character. The attention to detail - Lorele wants you to LOVE your home - she goes above and beyond to ensure she captures your style and that it makes sense with your lifestyle. The team at Lee Douglas is top notch. We look forward to creating more amazing rooms and adding to our home for years to come!

We had used Fluff Interiors before so when we were about to embark on the renovation of our kitchen, dining room, living room and entryway after 36 years, we reached out to Lorrie right away. At Fluff, they make every effort to get to know their client before creating the design. The design and products are creative, and she made sure that the furnishings flowed in our newly open design and captured my vision for the space. She took an outdated empty space and turned it into a dream home that is the perfect mix of style and livability. Lorrie was also affirming to decisions made prior to hiring her - cabinetry, flooring, quartz and paint. We were long overdue for this remodel, and we couldn't be happier with the way it turned out! I walk into the house and smile. To quote another client's review, "This project was so much more to me than just remodeling. It was about bringing joy back to this house..." This sums up my feelings perfectly! Credits: Kitchen Cabinet/Island Design by Vicky at Cabinet Factory Outlet Plus, Quartz from CKF, Contractor Kevin with Hicks Drywall, Five Star Painting

The Fluff team transformed the bedroom for a little girl fighting brain cancer. They went above and beyond to create this healing oasis for Nora. Nora's dream room included a space for her American Girl Dolls to sleep and space to do crafts. Nora has been fighting cancer for 4 years and has spent a lot of time isolated at home. This new healing oasis that Fluff created couldn't be more perfect! In the words of our recipient's mom: "Nora was just in awe of her room when she opened the door. She has a smile from ear to ear the entire time. I was so excited to see the photos that Fluff took because I could not see her face. The face in her picture with the door opening is something I honestly haven't seen before. She was so surprised and so in love with everything. For the rest of us, I was shocked when the door opened. It was SO HARD not to peek throughout the week but we stayed strong. I could not believe it. Tears came to my eyes and I was just so excited. I had no idea her room could transform into something so beautiful. This room far exceeded any expectations we had for her bedroom. This room met every wish that Nora wanted in her room." Thank you so, so, so much to the Fluff Interior Design Team!!

Owners Barry and Kelli Fowler run an unprofessional, unreliable and untrustworthy business. The biggest difference from our past experiences with reliable builders is the lack of any kind of transparency or a building schedule from team Fowler. The Fowler's claim they don't have a schedule - don't know the schedule and it is unreasonable for the customer to want to know when things will get done. FCH will not take accountability for anything that goes wrong - and in building things do and will go wrong - that is expected - BUT it is also expected the builder won't try to twist the truth and claim no responsibility. For example - 3 days after moving into a Fowler home - the basement flooded - we contacted Brandon Fowler immediately- his response was I will tell the office Monday and they can handle it - nobody handled it - we took care of the water damage - the hassle and inconvenience of a very poor job of grading and drainage (which Fowler does himself) caused the water issues - clearly the responsibility of the builder. The only redeeming quality for Fowler are the subcontractors- we finally had to bypass the Fowler team and worked directly with the subs - they were great - communicated well - spoke only the truth and finished the job - thankful for them Beware of Fowler Custom Homes - it was an unfortunate experience

BACKGROUND: I'm a commercial/industrial general contractor of 15+ years. I manage building…read morecontracts up to $175,000,000. I wanted you to get an honest review from someone with experience in construction, so you won't get dragged down the same road as I did. BUDGET: We chose Fowler Custom Homes because a now former friend of mine works for them. We told them our price range was $350,000 - $400,000 with emphasis on $350,000. Our first quote came back at $405,000! We finally settled at $370,000 after quite a few cuts and giving up some wants. FINISHES: We asked for a 4' front door and was assured that was not a problem. We found that none of their suppliers had a 4' door. It was suggested we go with a 6' double door. Received a change order for $2,335. "Why are we being charged extra for the door." "There isn't a 4' wide door available." Remember they told us, in the beginning, a 4' wide door was not a problem? COUNTERTOPS: Instructed to go to Midwest Tile. Went in to make selections and find out our budget; "We are not allowed to tell you your budget, that's between us and Fowler." Serious? We picked out some quartz and left. Went to A1 Granite and found some very nice quartz slabs. Fowler told us we were over budget. We bought the quartz from A1 and coordinated the installation ourselves. Our deduct from Fowler was $4,650. Seems like a lot, but our island is 30 square feet leaving only 23 square feet to finish the kitchen at that price. Estimate was priced for laminate countertops when we said solid surface during design. PLUMBING FIXTURES: During design we requested a free-standing tub in the master bathroom. Oops...we must have forgot, says the builder. That will be $1,770 extra. We looked at the contract documents to see what faucets were used for budgeting and found they were discontinued. Why would you setup the budget with a faucet that is discontinued? Change orders! Everything was priced as chrome finish when we asked for brushed nickel during design. GARAGE DOORS: They priced openers that had 1-star reviews across multiple websites because it consistently broke down. We asked for more robust openers and of course charged $495 more. Then they installed the wrong garage doors. DECEPTION: Speaking to the superintendent for Fowler, he tells me he is going to throw the inspector off by leaving simple things unfinished so we can get the C of O on-time. How is the inspector going to complete a thorough inspection if you are trying to throw him off? STAIRS: Which stair bullnose would you like us to install? The one that matches the floor... "They don't offer a bullnose for your floor." says Nick, project manager. Flooring companies always offer a stair bullnose for their flooring. I call the manufacturer and the bullnose is on backorder. Lied to again! I come back to the house the next day and a random bullnose has been installed. Still not fixed to this day and probably never will be based on emails from Fowler. CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY: Received on the final day of the contract. However, the carpet could not be installed yet because of people working in the house, making a mess. We need to be out of our rental house that weekend. We have to sign an early possession agreement at $70/day until closing. We can't close on the house until the carpet is installed per our lender. Final bill: $770 in early possession fees. BOTTOMLINE: Shady business practices. Fowler Custom Homes only cares about two things; how many houses they can crank out in a year and how much money they can line their pockets with. The good employees: Kara - Great designer. Treats clients with the utmost respect and does her best to help you choose materials and finishes even though she can't tell you the budget. Chris - New to the company but an amazing craftsman. Works extremely hard and pays very close attention to details. Floyd - Great trim and cabinet carpenter. Everything is perfectly straight!
