We bought a 4000 sq. ft. house in North Scottsdale that we completely remodeled from top to bottom. We were feeling overwhelmed with all of the decisions we had to make early on and decided to look into hiring a designer to help us with the process. My husband was reluctant at first, but once we started working with Michelle, he quickly agreed that hiring her had been well worth the expense. She knew excellent and reasonable contractors, helped us to select finishes at all of the best places around the Valley, and was always available to answer our questions. She also had many creative ideas that we never would have thought of on our own. Michelle not only helped relieve a lot of the stress that always accompanies a major home remodel, she understood the vision we had for our dream home and helped us make it a reality. Once our house was finished and we moved in, we hired her once again to help us decorate it, and the result was fantastic! We always get compliments from visitors, and we have referred Changes Interior Design to several of our friends and neighbors. Michelle is prompt, professional, reliable, and honest. She is also energetic and fun! After working with her on our house, we came to view her as a friend. I think that is the case for many of her other former clients, as well. We truly can't recommend her highly enough. If you are thinking about hiring a designer for your home, do yourself a favor and choose Changes Interior Design!

The expectation was that she would just decorate the first floor of my new home in 2 weeks time...the challenge was accepted yet 6 weeks later, lack of communication and always to have to follow up every few days on progress... I didn't get done half of what I expected to accomplish. My first and definitely last time paying for someone to help me decorate.

I researched many companies before deciding to go with Desert Valley Concepts and could not have made a better choice. When deciding who I wanted for the project, my priorities were integrity and trust. After my handshake with Jake Gonzales I was confident the project would be outstanding and it was. Jake's sons, Dom and Alec went above and beyond to ensure everything was done to the highest expectations. I sincerely believe Desert Valley Concepts is one of the best companies around. Oly Cowles

We began our process after contacting Jake Gonzales, owner of DVC. He came and saw our house and what our project would entail. Next we went to the showroom and began the process of picking out materials and discussing our budget. He and his associate Brittany then compiled a list of the materials and the approximate final cost which we then made a second visit to the showroom to finalize everything before Jake and Brittany would do the ordering. Once the materials arrived we began the actual remodel. At this point we were turned over to Dom, Jake's son, who would be the project manager for the entire project. The remodel took roughly 3 weeks and Dom along side his associate Tristan were there almost everyday to supervise the work. The two of them were polite, considerate, knowledgeable and well-mannered. The subs that were hired (ie. plumbing, countertops and installation of cabinets) were exceptional. The day the countertop crew arrived I believe they were in and finished in just a few hours with everything exactly as it should be. All subs were also extremely respectful to my husband and myself, with each group completing their tasks in a timely manner. Dom and Tristan ALWAYS let us know in advance when they or subs would be arriving to work and all were always on time. We could not asked for a more pleasant experience and would absolutely hire them again for future projects.

I don't agree with what the team said here. They only added in the pieces they forgot after I…read morereminded them multiple times. And they said they do not have a limit on the number of revisions but I have an email from them stating they usually only allow 3 revisions. They tried to fix this by allowing one more revision but if I had known that they had any kind of limit then I never would have booked with them. They also state in their response that I (the client) am responsible for making sure the items they suggest are quality before I order but then what's the point of hiring a designer? They are already supposed to do that kind of background work.

I loved that they truly captured her family's unique style and the house felt comfortable and true to them. Fast forward a few months, my husband and I just purchased a new home and were trying to blend our households. My furniture from my Bay Area condo looked like doll furniture in our space and I knew this was too big of a project for us to do on our own, we needed help. Cue Mackenzie and team! The process was incredibly easy: we met with the team, described our project and they went to town. They really took the time to understand my husband and I, our style and how to make our space both family (and cat) friendly. We had our sneak peek presentation and we were so excited what they came up with, it felt so US and fit our space. We couldn't wait to see how it all came together. When we had our final presentation we were blown away! The pieces that the team selected were amazing and would have taken us forever to find on our own. We got to see everything visually, were provided with a layout so we knew how to arrange everything, and got a shopping list. The team was available for questions and helped us out with substitutions if we needed to make them. We get compliments on our place ALL the time, its so different from what a lot of our neighbors/friends have in their homes because its so personal. I could not be happier with our experience using Scheme and the Mackenzie Collier Interiors team. I could not love our space any more, its simply beautiful and so us.

One thing you can say about living in Arizona is you are constantly reminded of the sun. My wife…read moreand I moved to north Buckeye a couple of years ago and as you can see from the attached pictures; our home is exposed to the South. While this provides us with spectacular views, it made it virtually impossible to enjoy our backyard for the hottest months of the year. We knew we needed to find a durable shade solution and our search culminated in a phone call to Patio Partners, in Surprise. We scheduled a consultation with Jim Doyle, who came out and helped us imagine what type of structure would work best for our home. We received a fair proposal, which was less than other companies who never bothered to drive out to Sun City Festival. Rather, they quoted off the size I said I wanted and a copy of our plot plan. We entered into an agreement with Patio Partners, and they began the permitting process with the city of Buckeye. Another thing you can say about living in Arizona is the wind is one of your constant companions. To ensure that any structure doesn't get blown away, code requires you to dig massive footings for each post that will support the structure. Our patio cover is fifty-five feet wide and extends from our house from eleven feet to twenty-one feet with a span of over thirty feet between the two furthest posts. The crew from Patio Partners had to dig six of these footings around our existing hardscape. They managed to do this without harming any of our plants or the Travertine border around our yard because they dug these footings by hand. The pergola went up in a couple of days after the footings were poured and it looks spectacular. The quality of the materials and craftsmanship are five-star (like this review) because they have great people who take pride in what they do. My wife and I highly recommend this company and encourage you to give them a call if you need any shade solutions.

We wanted a departure from the many generic interiors we encountered while searching for a designer. We were looking for creativity, innovation, intelligence, functionality, and most importantly, beauty. That is how we came across Ernesto Garcia's website, which immediately captured our attention. His interiors are orderly and well-appointed, with an emotional resonance that makes them comfortable and inviting. Ernesto arrived at our home with his approachable and urbane demeanor and quickly began sketching with the confidence and skill of an artist. Within minutes, he presented a complete and detailed vision for our master suite. Remarkably, the finished project resembles those early sketches so closely that the result is dazzling. Ernesto's architectural background proved essential to the success of this complex project. He masterfully guided everyone through each phase of the process, delivering refined and highly livable spaces that we enjoy every day. Over time, our professional relationship evolved into a treasured friendship filled with social gatherings, entertaining, and intimate dinners. We now count Ernesto among our dearest friends and wholeheartedly recommend his work to anyone who values the profound impact beautiful interiors can have on quality of life. Ernesto often says, "If you take care of your environment, your environment will take care of you." We have found that to be profoundly true. John & Bonnie Stallone

If I had unlimited budget I would have Ernesto design my entire home! He is incredibly talented,…read morebold, fearless and innovative. He is also quite fun to work with! I hired Ernesto after my failed attempt to pull together matching finishes for a kitchen that desperately needed updating. I had already installed flooring and counters... and gone through more than one iteration of backsplash tile. Ernesto bravely agreed to take on this troubled project. In the end I ended up repainting the cabinets from the first color we agreed on which felt dark and dreary. And am now planning to change the expensive wallpaper and custom faux finished hood included in his design. The biggest issue is that the warm brown is overpowering and this is literally my least favorite color. So as soon as I enter my kitchen I just want to leave. The other challenge is that some of the items he recommended were far out of my price range ($2500 for a single barstool). So I felt I had to source my own because he was adamant that we go with the custom one he advised. Had I had unlimited budget I certainly would have as they were beautiful and undoubtedly the highest quality. Durability was another concern with my pets and family. So the beautiful marble tile he selected for our bathroom just doesn't suit us. I would have preferred the relatively indestructible porcelain tile but... I hired a designer to advise me... not to debate. It is indeed luxuriously beautiful, but it windowpanes with each shower. Ernesto says this is because my installer didn't install it correctly. Either way: porcelain would have better suited us. So absolutely I would recommend anybody with a larger budget to hire Ernesto. And certainly some lessons learned on my end with regards to,first and foremost, finding my own clarity on my priorities when it comes to budget, style, color, etc...trusting my instincts, doing more of my own research, and advocating for my non-negotiables.
