We recently moved into the area and were in need of blinds for our 2 story townhouse. My husband wanted automatic blinds, and so I found Hunter Douglas blinds were sold at windows and beyond. I submitted an inquiry online and within 24 hours, Doreen called us. As the shelter in place had just taken effect, Doreen offered to FaceTime us to do an assessment of our windows and for her to show us some options for the blinds. Once she had our info, she sent an initial quote and told us she'd mail us some samples and schedule someone to come take measurements. About a week later the measurements were taken but the samples had not yet arrived. We were on a bit a time crunch as I was expecting our first baby's arrival in a few weeks and blinds were important for our privacy; Doreen knew this and dropped off samples to our home so we could quickly place our order. We really appreciated how flexible and accommodating she was given the situation! Once the blinds were ready, the installer was quick to get everything set up in our house (thankfully before our baby arrived). He also wore a mask both times, which we greatly appreciated. We purchased top up/bottom down blinds, with automation and are really getting good use out of them. Also, my husband connected the blinds to Google Home so we have different modes we can tell Google to execute based on time of day (ex at night we close them entirely).

We've left numerous messages and they keep saying they're not sure when they can schedule us in. I don't understand how their scheduling system works, but if they're busy, they need to book out a week or two and not have their customers continuing to call back. DO NOT purchase with them since you will receive ZERO after care once they are done with the sale.

We hired Malavika for our house extension as well as complete renovation of the existing property…read more She pays attention to what the client is looking for and then presents ideas. She would answer the silliest questions and trust me for your first ever renovation you have lots. Throughout the project she was there to answer not just ours but also our contractor's questions without holding up the construction work. I had so many friends telling me horrid stories about their architects ghosting them so going into the process we were extremely skeptical but Malavika guided us throughout the process. Our permits also came super quick as Malavika was on top of everything. Today I am so happy to see my finished house. I highly recommend her.

I reached out to iBuilders Design and Build for a free estimate to enclose my existing Alumawood…read morepatio. They responded very quickly through Yelp and scheduled a phone consultation. Luis and his team spent about 30 minutes understanding my requirements and provided detailed and honest feedback. They explained that since my existing patio is built with Alumawood, enclosing it with a regular wood frame would not be appropriate. The proper options would be either to remove the existing structure and rebuild it from scratch or use a specialized Alumawood sunroom system. Even though iBuilders Design and Build could not take on my project, I truly appreciate Luis and his team for their transparency, professionalism, and willingness to provide honest guidance upfront. Their responsiveness and helpful advice made the process much clearer for me.

From the first meeting, the team took the time to understand not just how we use the space, but also what kind of atmosphere we wanted for family dinners and evenings with friends. They proposed solutions that were modern yet warm, clean lines natural materials and lighting choices that make the space feel inviting without being overdesigned. What I really appreciated was their attention to detail. Things like flow between the kitchen and dining area, sightlines to the garden and even how the furniture would interact with the architecture, all of it was considered. Communication was excellent throughout: clear updates, quick responses and they navigated the city requirements smoothly so I didn't have to. The result feels both stylish and deeply livable. Hosting dinners now feels effortless, the layout encourages conversation and the finishes add just the right amount of elegance. If you care about design that balances beauty with functionality, this team delivers. They're not just designing a house, they're designing a home.

When the staged furniture was removed from the house, the movers left my front door unlocked. Debra wasn't there to supervise and a family heirloom carpet and camping gear were stolen from my house. I tried to contact Debra multiple times and she ducked, avoided, and deflected any contact for months. It took a threat of legal action to get her to engage and I all I received was more denial and deflection over email. I finally filed a law suite in small claims. She avoided the server for months, but they finally tracked her down and served her. Debra then settled nearly 9 months after the incident. Over the entire time I didn't receive one phone call from her or speak live with her despite repeated attempts. Not even an apology and no accountability (she regretted that her mover did not check to make sure the door was locked, yet she wasn't even present to supervise the work of her own contractor). If you want to do business with a shady person and get your stuff stolen this is your company. She also provides a business address that is a shut down hair salon. If there is a problem she will disappear. Buyer beware.

Steve and Jonny came back within two weeks with drafts in line with the vision we shared. They offered options, made adjustments based on budget and preferences and thoroughly explained what the process would look like. They had final plans to us within weeks and permits soon after. Jonny called, emailed and met us at the project site regularly and kept us well informed. He and Steve are current around design trends to provide recommendations - styles, colors, approaches, sources, etc. We didn't engage an Architect or Designer for a single stage. The crew is extremely professional. They're well informed and aligned around timelines, next steps and responsibilities, which kept us on schedule and without surprises. Be it Foreman, Plumber, Electrician, Painters, etc., they took pride in their work and left an immaculate job site at the end of the day. Despite the commotion a large project can create, our neighbors appreciated Stephano Homes' courtesy and professionalism. Months later we walked back into a new home that was exactly what we hoped for. The design is well thought out and the craftsmanship top notch. As we've settled in, the quality of work hasn't lost it's luster. As more remodels similar to ours pop up in the neighborhood, we notice the things I mention. We didn't think of many of them going into the project, but recognized and appreciated them throughout. Seeing projects that lack these qualities reminds us of how fortunate we were to have made the right decision. Would absolutely recommend Stephano Homes for projects big or small. We would make the same decision again in a heartbeat.

We didn't have to use an architect, as Steve did a beautiful design for our remodeled bedroom, walk-in closet and large bathroom. Steve, who has excellent taste, helped us choose the tiles, the fixtures, the granite and the style and color for our built-ins. We love the entry to the Master bedroom suite with the built-in bookshelves and cabinets that house our home entertainment electronics. Our remodel was a bit tricky as they had to move two weight-bearing walls, and move the plumbing quite a distance through concrete slab. Steve's crew did all of the work from the demolition and framing to the plumbing, electrical, tile work, painting and finish work. The workmanship is top-notch. What I really appreciated is the creative problem-solving, and the willingness to work with us to get things exactly how we wanted the remodel. This is the second remodel project that we've done with Stephano Homes and Classic Kitchens (same owner). Each project exceeded our expectations. Steve runs a tight ship. Projects start on time, end on time and keep to budget. We loved Tim, our foreman who did all the carpentry, the plumbing and the excellent finish work. The crew cleans up at the end of each day and are true professionals. Everyone is polite and client-service oriented. Steve is a trustworthy and likeable guy who truly listens to his clients. I recommend Stephano Homes without reservation.

Samah met with us, surveyed the site, and drafted a plan based on our wants and also gave recommendations from her experience. We went with her experience! The architectural plans and structural calculations (we used her referral) were delivered to our city and county in such detail, everyone was surprised. This detail is what we want to highlight. It makes the build much easier, almost like lego, and the inspection process smooth.
