We worked with Kathleen Ann Designs to renovate our guest bathroom in February 2023. It was an…read moreabsolute privilege and we couldn't be more happy with the end result, and how her vision came to life through the renovation. We wholeheartedly recommend Kathleen Ann Designs for anyone seeking an exceptional interior designer! From the outset, Kathy (owner and operator of Kathleen Ann Designs) displayed an extraordinary level of understanding and collaboration. She truly grasped our vision, goals, preferences, time constraints, and budget, and throughout the process, she delivered on every aspect with utmost dedication. Kathy's hands-on approach, combined with her innovative ideas and fresh perspective, resulted in a modern, tasteful, luxurious, and open design for our guest bathroom - a remarkable transformation from its previous state. Our small guest bathroom now stands as a fabulous and relaxing retreat for our guests, all accomplished within budget and directly aligned with our design aesthetics. We could not have dreamed the end result would come out as exceptional as it did, and that is thanks to Kathy's extraordinary vision and design ideas. When working with Kathy, you have a few different packages you can select from ranging from basic consultation to full design and even coordination with the contractor. Opting for the full package, which included project management and coordination with EDW Construction (a company that Kathy works with frequently on many of her projects), proved to be a very wise decision, and well worth the minor additional expense. Kathy skillfully managed the entire renovation, ensuring timely deliveries, meticulous inspections, and seamless coordination with the contractor, resulting in exceptional results within the agreed timeframe and budget. One thing that really distinguish Kathy from other companies we looked at is that she really listened, and she really cared. We weren't just another project for her. She was just as excited as we were as the transformation of our guest bathroom progressed. Kathy is an expert communicator listener, and brings fresh perspective and fabulous design and attention to detail. There is not one oversight under her watch in the end result is exceptional. We are thrilled with the overall experience of working with Kathleen Ann Designs and eagerly anticipate our next renovation where we can partner with Kathy again for another marvelous transformation. We would highly recommend Kathy/Kathleen Ann Designs to anyone interested in transforming their space through exceptional design. No

Cassandra's designs were…read morebeautiful and very thought out, considering everything I already had in my kitchen and bringing more function to this space than I could think of myself. Her approach to work was very pleasing as she treated me like family, and not just a customer! She handled everything for me and made the process go smooth. Casey and Chloe were amazing to work with every day. They were able to bring Cassandra's designs to life. Casey knows how to do it all and he also treated us like family! His attention to detail is by far superior as he was able to ensure things were done correctly. He made sure to be here on days sub contractors came and ensured everything ran smoothly. He also made some suggestions on things we could change based on his years of knowledge and keeping in mind my current lifestyle. I appreciated his honest feedback, his respect towards the sentimental value I have with things in my house and his willingness to also teach me a few things a long the way! I am so pleased with their design and build work that I'm looking forward to having them remodel more things in my house.

Very happy overall and cannot recommend Angelica enough!!

I have hired 1st Stage for multiple properties over the years. In the past, they generally did…read moregreat work and I was impressed with their staging style, professionalism, availability, and pricing. That said, my most recent experience was disappointing. I had them stage a modern townhouse in Costa Mesa near the beach. Unfortunately, the staging style they chose did not match the aesthetic of the property at all. I am not a designer, so I typically trust their vision and let them take the lead. This time, I reached out to their team and simply asked if we could swap out a few items to make the space feel more modern or beachy. I was told I would need to pay a restocking fee. That response was frustrating. I had referred them many jobs and clients in the past, and while the fee itself was not a large amount, it felt unnecessary and left a bad impression. They did eventually waive the fee, which I appreciated, but the situation already felt mishandled. Fast forward a bit. The property did not sell, and I requested that it be de-staged. Their team came out a few days later and removed the furniture. A few months after that, they emailed both me and my client, who was the actual party to the staging contract, claiming there was a prorated balance due for a few extra days the furniture remained in the home. The amount was under $400. The contract was between my client and 1st Stage, not me, so I was confused as to why I was included. Shortly after, Mark Sutton emailed me directly asking if I could take care of the payment by the next day. I found that extremely unprofessional. Agents are the ones who bring them business, and asking me to personally pay an invoice that had nothing to do with me showed a real lack of business judgment. I expressed my disappointment with their customer service, and the only response I received was a payment link. If you are looking for a stager who truly feels like a partner and values long-term relationships, I would think twice before using this company. In my experience, once an issue arises, you are treated like just another number, and preserving relationships does not seem to be a priority.

Easy 5 stars from me…read more Hired Artoo Design to help with plans for a renovation project in my home. Because of the structural and electrical scope, I decided to build fully permitted and up to code. I hired Artoo twice. About 18 months ago I bought a one-time consultation. The consult fee is not cheap, but it's totally worth it. I got a full preview of everything that would be required for my project - sizing of structural members, ratings for materials, and what would (and wouldn't) fly with city inspectors. I also got a handful of solutions for things I didn't know how to handle. The meeting really streamlined my planning and thinking about design tradeoffs. The second time I hired Artoo (December) was to do the full construction plans. I met with Ramy to do an updated plan review and for him to take some measurements. I really felt like he was taking my input and we were working together on the final details. Then the quality of the drawings themselves are impeccable. In a previous life I did heavy AutoCAD drafting, so I'm very picky about drawings being accurate and complete. They were also turned around really fast. Much faster than I could have drawn in my prime. Next was probably the best part - Ramy said he would help with any notes from the city plan review process. I was worried how that would go. We had to do some revisions, but it was totally painless thanks to hiring the right company. I felt unstoppable with Ramy as a partner, and I got everything I wanted approved by the city. I'm writing this review today (August) because I had another small question about the plans, and Ramy basically answered my email immediately. Super tight customer service. I don't always have the budget or time to build things right. Artoo Design is one of those companies you should hire when quality and time is important. When you have a project that needs the best, this is the group to go to.

When he came out to take measurements, he offered smart suggestions that made our project more cost-effective while also adding long-term value to our home. Ramy delivered the plans ahead of schedule and took the time to walk us through everything in person. The city of Claremont's permit requirements are very strict, and it was clear that Ramy knew what the city would require. When the city had requests we didn't agree with, he communicated directly with the city planner on our behalf and guided us through the process with confidence and clarity. You get what you pay for with Ramy--his work is high quality, detailed, and thoughtful. His expertise, responsiveness, and professionalism made a stressful process feel smooth and manageable. We highly recommend him for any home or ADU project. He is absolutely worth it.
