I initially had a great experience with Jaime Langer and genuinely believe she has strong design…read moreskills. However, my overall experience with her ended in deep disappointment and frustration. If you choose to work with her, do not let her refer you to Hummingbird HRD (Crystal and Brian Mansanares), as that is where everything unraveled. Jaime first helped me after a Christmas morning plumbing disaster, and at the outset, she was fantastic--quick to respond, knowledgeable, and actively engaged in creating thoughtful layouts. Because things seemed to be going well, we also hired her for additional design work in our kitchen and living room. But when she referred us to Hummingbird as the general contractor, she stepped away entirely, leaving us in the hands of an inexperienced team that led to an overpriced, incomplete, and poorly executed renovation. Where Things Went Wrong Jaime and Crystal turned out to be personal friends rather than longtime collaborators, and our home was essentially a "guinea pig project"--a fact Jaime admitted only after things had gone terribly wrong. The staggering lack of professionalism from Hummingbird resulted in months of stress, wasted money, and a home that remains unfinished to this day. After Crystal declared the project "done" (despite glaringly poor workmanship), I asked Jaime to see the state of things herself. She agreed with me that the quality was unacceptable and even apologized for how badly things had turned out. She admitted that Crystal lacked the necessary experience and recognized that we had been unintentionally used as a test project. To make matters worse, she also told me, "Wow, I didn't realize you were so detail-oriented--I would feel exactly the same." As if they thought they could get away with subpar work and I wouldn't notice--truly insulting. Jaime's Final Disappointing Choice To her credit, Jaime convinced Crystal and Brian to attempt to fix their mess, but she ultimately abandoned the project. Despite personally acknowledging all the flaws, she later sent me a completely contradictory statement: "I have every faith in Hummingbird completing the project as promised, and overall, I believe they have done an exceptional job." This project was supposed to take 4-6 weeks starting in March--it was still dragging on in November, at which point I cut ties entirely because it was no longer worth the emotional toll. To this day, our home remains unfinished and cheap-looking, a painful reminder of the stress and financial loss we endured. What We Actually Got for Jaime's Fees After paying her design fees for both the bathroom and kitchen/living room, all we truly received was: * Layout options * A recommendation for Hummingbird (which proved disastrous) * Help selecting a kitchen table and rug Had we gone with a different general contractor, I might be writing a glowing five-star review. Unfortunately, given how this played out, I cannot recommend Jaime Langer at all.

Based on a trusted referral, I hired Kristina and Alexis to oversee my home remodel, aiming…read moreprimarily to increase natural light in my kitchen. The layouts they provided failed to meet this goal-and worse, placed the laundry room awkwardly in the home's center. None worked for me, but after paying nine thousand dollars upfront, I felt committed to salvaging value. When Home Depot delivered a design I actually liked, I asked them to at least honor the discounts promised at the start. They didn't; prices stayed inflated, even during their shopping day, which Alexis chalked up to showroom markup. Now that Home Depot has finalized my plan, I'm asking Kristina and Alexis to fulfill our original agreement-they're refusing, saying too much time's passed, though it had been under a year. And when I first reached out? They demanded more money for more time. Unprofessional.

I can be picky so I was worried about being indecisive and/or overwhelmed at making the correct design decisions. DDG narrowed down the choices for me perfectly, I made my decisions the same day as shopping (which never happens for me) and walked away very excited! From the initial meetings I was very impressed with the level of design detail and technology in presenting me with proposed design plans. Their ideas were spot on and the ability to show me renderings with measurements and flip to a 3D picture was so helpful! I also observed them make changes real time via their technology when either discussing changes with me or the contractor. This made the process go so smoothly because all parties involved were on the same page immediately. I also want to mention their personalities. Both of these ladies are so easy to contact and have a conversation with. It's nice when you know the people you are working with are always going to great you with a smile and positive attitude. I never hesitated to reach out to them. Also, the level of attention they gave made me feel like I was their only client, but obviously I was not. Thank you DDG. I'm looking for more projects we can work together on and definitely referring you to friends!

What I appreciated most was that Kellie took the project head on and allowed my busy work life to run it's course and not be too affected by the work, design options, etc. She came to me with all of the samples and really nailed the design of the bathroom quite easily to work with our home and preferences. I also appreciated all of her contractors who had full access to come and go from my home as they needed without me having to worry or babysit them since I was too busy with my own work and my husband happened to be traveling for practically the entire renovation, so it made me feel very comfortable. Since then, I've actually used many of her contractors on other jobs of my own or referred them out to my client base since I'm a Realtor and have clients with many of these needs. I've used her Electrician, Tile Guy and another Contractor/Handyman on several other jobs. I'm very pleased with Kellie and her team. I LOVE my bathroom! Thank you Inspired by Design! Theresa

And his pricing is AWESOME. Beyond competitive, that I tell my friends to skip the additional estimates to save time. Go with Alex, and he'll save you money every single time. Trust me, you'll be pleasantly surprised. And here's the thing - with Alex, you don't just get a painter. You first get a partner in the design process. If you're like me, you have no idea what colors to pick, how to use accent walls, what to paint what, and basically, lack all creativity. Each time with Alex, he walked through our homes and chatted with us to understand our needs and wants. We then sat down and talked through some ideas we have, and he gave us his ideas and some color swatches. He then started our personalized color hunt and brought over painted boards to match up to our walls, inside our home, with our lighting. After getting our input and feedback, he purchased the paint and the real work started. He checked in with us every step of the way, confirming if we liked the colors and giving us his feedback. When Alex likes the colors, trust me, you have the right colors. With so many years experience, he knows what walls to paint what colors, what accent walls to use to make the color and lighting work in your favor. We are to the point with Alex, that if he suggests something, we just say "go for it" because his eye for paint design is second to none. And I can say this with confidence after he nailed color picks for us now in two separate homes. Alex never ceases to amaze, and always comes up with some great ideas as icing on the cake, including places to add artwork, mirrors, and some ideas for next projects. Alex will help you with ideas on where you can save money, or prioritizing the right things first. Our next projects include cabinets and stair banisters. Without a doubt, Alex is our guy! No additional estimates needed!

HOWEVER- I arrived at the final walkthrough at the scheduled time, and they were still not done clearing out their supplies. This was okay and I assumed more work would be done.

There was brown liquid spilled on the cabinets and floors, paint spilled on the floors, stairs & countertops, outlet covers missing (still not found), painter's tape still stuck to the walls & baseboards, and sunflower seeds littered across EVERY single floor in the house (including the in the carpet and the bathtub). I am shocked at the way the house was left and how sloppy this was. This was not the condition that it was supposed to be left in. I had a showing the next morning so had to spend over 3 hours cleaning it. I contacted the manager about it and received a $275 discount. They did offer to come back over and "take care of these items" but I had no time to let them come back so I had to take care of it myself.
