Response from EYE 4 DESIGN
It sounds like I should have returned the call. In our defense however, I seem to remember the voice mail saying to call if we were interested in the work. Unfortunately our wallpaper person has retired so we are not in a position to perform this kind of work at this time. I am sorry, we try to return every call quickly but with the holidays and my recollection of the voice mail it didn't seem essential.

We had a few bumps along the way(tile order not correctly placed resulting in delays and excess tiles)but overall once the tiles were in, the tile work was beautifully done with great care to the details. The crew were people we didn't mind having around the house-all were very friendly and polite. They kept the house clean during construction.

Nick came and looked at the ceiling and then gave an itemized estimate on what would be done to fix it. The job was scheduled within two weeks of our accepting the bid and took two weeks to complete. The new ceiling had to be framed in, wiring replaced and new fixtures installed. Then the ceiling was drywalled and plastered and a new range hood installed. The kitchen was then painted and the final lighting was installed.
Description of Work: Replaced drop ceiling in kitchen with plaster ceiling.

Nick and his crew are very personable, likable, polite, and they did a good job in many ways. They were very good about keeping the house clean during the demo phase, and were very flexible and accommodating about our schedules. While some of the crew knew their jobs very well, others did not seem to be entirely knowledgeable about the work they were doing. For example, after the shower pan was installed and tarred, they did not protect the weep holes from filling with mortar from the tiles, and did not seem to know what weep holes are. Nick was very helpful and flexible in picking out tiles and designing the shower, and for the most part, the tile job was good. However, the edges on the outside of the tile were not done well (not lined up and not matched well), and we had to push mightily to have them re-done so that the most obvious part of the shower would look professionally done. Also, within a week, plumbing under the house developed a leak because it was poorly done in the first place; they responded promptly and fixed it right, but we had to discover the leak in the first place. In the end, the shower looks great and we are very pleased. I just don't think I should be telling them basic things about showers, tiles and plumbing.
Description of Work: They demolished a shower in order to replace the shower pan and re-tile. They replaced the plumbing under the house and to the shower and a few other tile and plumbing jobs around the bathroom.

His workers were on time and courteous ("we need to turn the water off for a short while; OK?"). I can unequivocally recommend this company. The work proceeded pretty much on the schedule he outlined for me in the estimate. The bathroom was adjacent to an exterior exit and the backyard, so their access was easy. They covered the furniture in the adjacent room, took away all demolition trash, and left the area clean and immediately usable.
Description of Work: I did not find a lot of companies who could take on this job and Eye 4 Design was the only one I asked to bid. Nick Reynolds came out and gave a very thorough estimate of the job -- mainly necessitated by a deteriorated stall shower in a small secondary bathroom. He explained each step and why it was necessary. His work is not cheap, but neither does he cut any corners and is determined to have his work done professionally and last many years. He essentially redid the bathroom using very plain finishes (white ceramic tile, "Swiss Coffee" standard paint), replaced a wall hung sink, installed a grab bar, rewired electrical for a new fixture and in-stall exhaust fan and light, tiled the bathroom floor. He also made sure the areas behind the tile were in good condition and would stay dry. His electrician also installed a new ceiling fixture in the adjacent room and got a balky porch light to work.

All crew were pleasant, attentive to cleanliness and generally prompt, hardworking. Nick, the owner, kept us regularly informed of progress and issues. We were initially concerned that the demolition of the shower resulted in parts of our bedroom wall breaking apart but everything was repaired, patched, painted and cleaned up to our satisfaction. The shower tile work was very meticulously done, with nice attention to quality and detail. We didn't discuss painting needs for the bathroom walls but it was mostly done anyway (without extra cost) by the crew, which was nice. The door-to-wall conversion was also done cleanly and thoroughly. The whole job took longer than we would have preferred but it wasn't due to crew absence or laziness by any means.
Description of Work: New tile and shower pan for shower stall. New shower door. Installation of new vanity, medicine cabinet, vanity lighting, bathroom hardware. Shower fan/lighting installed. Drywall, patching, painting. Conversion of a doorway to a wall. The old shower stall was very poorly built by the previous owner many years ago. Construction was uneven, shoddy. Ventilation was a hole in the ceiling.

Great experience! We've hired Nick on two different projects and both look fantastic. He is punctual, very reasonably priced, and does fantastic work.
Description of Work: Nick and his crew built a new vanity and linen cabinet for our bathroom, wallpapered, and installed a new fan/heater/vent. They also enlarged a closet in our bedroom which included knocking out part of a wall while retaining the period elements of the house and they installed recessed lighting in the bedroom as well.

I was immensely impressed with the results of this project. Eye 4 Design not only were highly professional and courteous, but they were also immensely skilled and creative in their approach. When I started looking for companies to build the fence, I ran into a lot of trouble from people unwilling to give me an estimate or return phone calls. Nick Reynolds from Eye 4 Design called me back right after I called, and he came out within a day to give me an estimate and talk generally about the approach to take with the project. We went through 2 revisions of the estimate, and he was very easy to work with. Once we settled on the cost and requirements, work started on the fence. The Eye 4 Design builders were amazing. When I needed some input and advice about how to proceed, they responded with very cool solutions that look great. The guys were also really quiet and were able to appease even my highly volatile neighbor. Overall, I can't recommend these guys enough!
Description of Work: Eye 4 Design helped design and build a fence and gate on my property in Franklin Hills. The job was not a typical fence building job, in that it required a lot of creative thinking about how to place the fence and how to deal with the slope of the hill. Eye 4 Design also built a platform on the slope of the hill near the street to hold garbage cans & etc.
It took five months and went according to plan, which involved coordinating the work with the exacting plans of a designer living in another city, and waiting for special out-of-stock parts and fixtures to be shipped in. What made it all work was Nick Reynolds' skill, eye for detail, and patience.
Description of Work: Extensive interior work including gutting and replacing the entire kitchen, laying porcelain tile floors in kitchen, laundry, and two bathrooms, refinishing all hardwood floors, repainting entire interior of house, repairing all windows, installing plumbing fixtures, rewiring many parts of the house, new doors and knobs, etc.

Fantastic. They did not break any tiles which was difficult. If they had, it would have been a much more costly job and we might have had to replace with non-matching tiles since our tile is from the 1940s. In addition, Nick had thought of a creative and aesthetically pleasing alternative to replacing any broken tiles with non-matching ones to build a niche in the wall. We didn't end up having to go that route. They were quick and efficient and a pleasure to deal with.
Description of Work: They removed loose tile, checked the wall behind for damage, and reapplied the tile. They also removed and reapplied caulk around the tub.

We had the kitchen cabinets refinished and refaced from a previous contractor. Project was 98% and we paid this contractor on time and in full in the beginning of May 2007. He was to return after the final payment to install the matching crown molding, which we had verbally discussed earlier in the project, also he was to stain some missing areas. By mid June 2007 and after numerous calls and visits, he did have the missing areas stained, but he still kept putting us off on the crown molding. At that point we gave up on him. Fortunately, I was able to find Nick from Redesign (via Angie's List) to complete the crown molding. Although, Nick was very busy with larger projects he was able to fit in my small project. He also selected an even nicer style of crown molding than I expected. I will definitely keep him in mind on future projects.
Description of Work: Installed and stained crown molding in a small area of the kitchen.

Nick and his EYE4 team are great. Excellent supervision. Very dependable. High quality work. We've used him on several other types of jobs (tile work, stucco repair) and have been very happy with every aspect of his professionalism, project management, workmanship and overall good natured approach to doing business and helping us finish a long and complicated renovation project. We'd recommend this company in a heartbeat.

These guys were fantastic! I speak from experience as I have had (as you may have had as well) problems with other contractors. Nick Reynolds was very fair with his estimate and ALL his employees were great. Nick promptly returned my calls and addressed my questions. He explained in detail all the work they were doing and what I could expect for a time line of the process. They arrived when they said they would, and did all the work the way they promised. They also were careful to keep the areas of my home that they were not working in as clean as possible. I actually enjoyed having them around. Super professional! Very fair price! Great work! They are licensed and insured (a problem that I had with other less reputable companies). Not to be crass, but ALL employees were fluent in English. I give them the highest recommendation.
Description of Work: For my complete kitchen remodel they designed and installed all cabinets, tile design and layout, drywall, and electrical. They also framed an island. Installed vent hood. Also molding and baseboards. They did it all. For my complete bathroom remodel they did my tub, tile, and shower design. They also did my vanity installation and fixtures.
