Adina has helped me renovate and remodel several properties. The last one was a quick renovation…read morein August 2020 for one of my investment rental properties. When you look at the "before-and-after" pictures, it is clear that the results of her work are impressive, even with the extremely tight budget and schedule that we had to work with. Adina's designs show her passion and creativity for developing living universes, that people want to immerse and surround themselves with, as soon as they see them. When you see one of her designs, you immediately feel the desire to be in that space. She has an impressive gift to transform spaces in ways you cannot imagine beforehand, with color combinations you would have not imagined, but when you see the finished product, you love them because it is absolutely superb and pleasing. It simply feels good... I enjoy working with Adina as she is very talented, creative, honest and daring. She is direct and confident in her radical ideas, clear on expectations, and punctual. I was surprised a few times by some suggestions she made, that I thought would not look good (...what do I know?), but I trusted her, went with it, and found out they were the best solutions for the spaces we were renovating. I LOVED the outcome. I learned not to second-guess her ever again, and to fully trust her. Whatever she creates, is going to look and feel great in the end! She is a perfectionist with a budget in mind. Adina's designs are "out-of-the-box", on the leading edge of creativity in art, they are modern, daring, and well balanced. The color schemes she chooses are always exquisite, delightful to the eye, attractive to the mind, and relaxing to the heart and soul. Adina's portfolio is surprisingly vast with projects such as Village Market in Chicago, Google and Leo Burnett offices, ISI Headquarters as well as various residential and hospitality renovations. She led the design and implementation for the Village Market - a large commercial complex in the heart of Chicago. I saw it first in a pencil sketch, then in 2D. She continued to work and I saw the first 3 Dimensional rendering, and ... 3 years later, when I visited Chicago, she took me to a location that gave me the same exact view of the Village Market as I saw last time in her portfolio picture, only this time... it was the real thing (brick & mortar), beautifully executed by her to match the original vision. Adina is highly conscious and efficient when it comes to cost. She has hands-on knowledge of materials & costs, and she has developed a network of strategic partners in the industry, who can provide you promotional discounted prices and/or expedited deliveries to her clients. She is a pleasure to work with, she is well organized and always listens well to her clients, understanding their needs and wants. She told me that her main objective in business is to make sure -in any project- the end results will meet her client's goals: architectural, financial, and timeline. With a well-controlled and tight budget, she is making wonders. I highly recommend her and her work to anyone needing assistance with an architectural project. Whether is a simple garage addition, a Media Room, or more complex project that requires an artful & attractive (art-tractive) design, an interior face-lift, or something done in a cost-efficient way, and done quickly, Adina always has the best (and usually most unexpected!) solution. It is worth mentioning that you will still have money in the bank at the end of the project she designs for you! You will be happy to see how much life Adina will bring into your project. Adina's work is an enchanting mixture of harmony, balance, and creativity that meet in absolute beauty. I hope you get an opportunity to work with Adina on your next project so you can enjoy one of her truly uplifting transformations. Call her / write now!

Guests always remark how beautiful our place is. I love that the entire house feels cohesive with the design and has an elevated light/airy feel. She also selected great materials when it comes to the stones and woods throughout.

They sent photos of the quartz ahead of finalizing and would have let us visit the warehouse, but we knew what we wanted by name already. Payment and invoicing was a breeze and no surprises on the final bill. I know they can get busy, but worth the wait (it was only 2 weeks, but since our other vendor went MIA it felt longer). Definitely recommend!

The exterior waterproofing of my basement wall worked and saved me over $10,000 from other quotes I received that would have torn up my basement flow and would have involved me getting a sump pump. Allegro's solution did not involve destroying my basement floor and did not involve a sump pump - it was all done from the outside by totally coating one side of my foundation with a black tar like substance and an external liner. They also repaired the brick on my front stairs where the cement was missing between 50-100 bricks. Finally, they replaced part of my sidewalk that was very cracked with pavers that look extremely nice. The company was wonderful to work with. Wade H.

I have enjoyed the up-down shade for the past 4 years...I recommend WebDecor for product, pricing, and installation very highly!

I HIGHLY recommend Donna and Web Decors. Before we selected Donna we had received a quote from…read moreanother company as well as pricing things on the internet that would require self-installation. Donna was the first pro that we heard from and she should have been the LAST!!! We received the quote from the other company and the price they quoted us for two rooms was more than Web Decors quoted us for our entire first floor. I could not believe that there would be such a huge price difference in two different companies. Not only was the price for two rooms through a competitor more than all the work that Donna did but the other company did not quote us the wood shutters which were the most expensive part of this project. Donna is very good about communication and getting back to you very quickly on any questions that you might have. Her and her installer Brad are both professional and will let you know if there will be a delay. We were told that the install would be hopefully completed by Christmas and it was. We COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with the window treatments that Donna helped us pick out and that Brad expertly installed. Our house is 100 years old and we were a bit concerned that the wood shutters would look natural as extensions had to be used to get around the windows. It looks as though these were a part of the original house. We have had guests over who remarked on how beautiful the treatments look and how natural they fit into the room. It is common to get more than one estimate for a project but do yourself a favor. Get an estimate or two from a competitor and then call Donna at Web Decors and see what her prices will be. I am pretty sure that you will be pleasantly surprised by her pricing and I can guarantee that you will be happy with the finished project.

This is a great company! My condo board hired Blue Door to paint the hallways areas in our…read morebuildings common areas. The communication between the company, our property management company, and the condo board was excellent. Crystal was easy to communicate with, she made the appointments, responded to any concerns, and provided the invoices immediately. They had all of the proper paperwork needed right away. Tom came on time for the estimate. Tom's estimate was accurate, he is easy to work with and hired a team of professional painters. The painters came every day on time, all of the painters spoke excellent English, so there was never a problem with communication. While on site the painters were neat, worked diligently, and took appropriate lunch breaks. This was an easy project thanks to the professionalism of Crystal, Tom, and all of the painters at Blue Door. I will definitely hire them for personal projects as well.

I have only received compliments on the their work thus far from residents at the property, I recommend them for ANYTHING. No job is to big or to small, they can handle any type of project you have. I would gladly recommend them any time.
