She evaluated several contractor estimates, which helped maximize our budget. Her creative solutions and guidance were invaluable, helping us navigate the process with confidence.

Unfortunately we had to release him from the project leaving our kitchen cabinets completely open with no doors and no working drawers.

We were so very fortunate to have Sophia's aesthetics and expertise as she staged our home for sale. In olden days, curb appeal was essential. Presently, however, the majority of buyers begin their property search online before even setting appointments to view properties. So instead of "curb appeal" we needed the wow factor of a beautifully staged home with incredible pictures and videos online to get buyers' attention. Sophia and her team from Nested With Style did a remarkable job staging our home for sale. Not only did Sophia execute a consistent design plan, but she provided beautiful furniture and décor items that transformed our home from "beautiful" to spectacular--it's never looked so incredible! We are convinced the staging was a big part of why our home received SIX offers over price within SIX days of listing. We accepted an offer $125,000 over listing, and the house sold in just 7 days--amazing. We are convinced this would have never happened without Sophia's vision for staging our home. We highly recommend Sophia/Nested With Style for your staging needs. You will NOT be disappointed. Katherine & David L.

Tina does the administrative work and Eric does the quoting and physical work with his employees. I called Tina and asked a lot of questions and she was able to answer them all. They are as transparent as can be and I love a straight shooter. We wanted 2 pergolas. One attached lattice cover to add some shade to our home and the other a covered pergola over the bbq area. We made an appt with Tina for Eric to come out and quote us. We discussed what we wanted, color options and boom - We placed a deposit the same day and was ready to move forward. We were asked to send them a lot map of our property which we sent via email so that Eric could start doing sketches for HOA submission as well as obtain county permits. Once I received HOA approval, we were good to schedule the work. We started with the attached lattice pergola cover. They came in March 2023 and we're done in 5 hours. Unlike other contractors, they cleaned up after themselves. We were so happy with our first pergola, we wanted the second up before summer. We placed our next deposit in April and before Memorial Day, we were able to get the covered Pergola up! Both Tina and Eric are professional and as mentioned transparent in communication and are available to answer questions. The bids are reasonable (I had 3 different quotes from various companies). They don't sugar coat anything to get the job(s). Call for a quote if you're in the market for a Alumawood cover! Get yourself quotes and compare if needed. 4 months later and everything is still standing! Can't complain :) 2 of our neighbors have called and have finished their pergolas with DCI. A few more are lined up to get quotes for work. Try to Support your local small businesses if you're in the market for this!

Yes she said she wouldn't be available until March. By September with many calls, we finally received preliminary drawings with some of the things I asked for. She did bill us monthly for the work since March about $1,000/mo. We received preliminary drawings in September, no budget. I requested a budget for the project, I was told she would need to finish the drawings and detail before we could receive a budget. At that point I had already spent $7,000, so I asked her to stop work on the project. She sent me a bill for another $5,000 for the work done in September. What $13,000 for preliminary plans and no budget??? I was done at that point. Sadly I have done my remodel.

I had some idea of what I would do to change things, when I saw a friend's newly-remodeled bathroom, which was genius! Cathy Tonks (DWYIM) was the designer/engineer, and we immediately contacted her to honcho our own master bath remodel. Cathy's understanding of the customer with whom she is working, what materials are the best (albeit not necessarily the most expensive), and her ability to really design with you and your function in mind blended into a result that is stunningly perfect for us.

There were some other interior designers whose website looked cluttered or had red font all over the place and my thinking was that the website was a portal into designers thinking. Besides the website, I reviewed the projects on the website and they looked like the contemporary designs that we were interested in. She was a tremendous help to us in choosing the countertop slabs, tiles, backsplashes, interior paint color etc. She has an "eye" where she can notice small inconsistencies and explain them to. She also factored in all we were asking - e.g. my wife's heart was set on using one particular tile, and Jennifer made it happen. But overall, she kept everything very cohesive. Even the house interior color - she used her bigger paint samples and looked at the tiles etc. with her bigger samples in the actual house setting so that she could factor in the light coming into the house. Without her, we would have made so many mistakes and because of her inputs on almost everything we selected, we don't look at any part of the house and say, "dang we made a mistake here - we should have done this instead". Besides the great "eye" that she has, Jennifer is very enthusiastic and easy to work with. She also attends a lot of conferences to keep aware of the industry trends. If I were to build another house, Jennifer would be choice for the interior designer.
