"Hi (member name removed), Thanks for the great review. I can't believe meeting you at BC Porters in 1979. We've stayed in touch over the so many years. Its been a great journey for us. Thank you for being so loyal to me. I love your condo now. Its perfect for you. And glad you can still manage on your own. Go Audrey!! Sincerely, LInda"
We didn't want to contact her again but we needed some questions answered about the dining room design. So, we reluctantly contacted her a couple of weeks later. She met with us for one hour at the home and she told us that she would need to bill us for the time that it would take her to come up with a design plan. We agreed. Again, estimating that we would receive a bill for about $130. And again, she overcharged us with a bill for another $500.
As we were disgusted with how she overcharged us, we asked her to not get involved any more. But, she found excuses for returning to the house and talking with plumbers and tile people and she charged us! I sent her many texts, I called her numerous times asking her to not enter my property. But she would find excuses to go in and talk to people and overcharge us. She told me that she had talked with the tile person and she charged me for 30-45 minutes of her time when the question that the tile guy needed answered literally took 2 seconds. She was trespassing and charging us her design service fees! When I spoke with her to tell her that we were only going to pay for her services that we had asked for and therefore was only going to pay her for time that she took to design the dining room. She told me that she was taking me to small claims court.
Not only that, she is a horrible designer. She designed for a 16" backsplash of tile around the tub when the space can physically only accomodate 6". She was off by TEN INCHES! How does that happen?!?!
She contacted us again MANY MANY times asking if everything was going alright. She kept texting me and calling to see if I needed her services.
PLEASE LEARN FROM OUR MISTAKES AND DO NOT HIRE HER.
"[Member name removed], thank you for your business and feedback. I would like to apologize if there was anything unclear about the bills you received. As discussed, the charges billed were for my time spent in the items requested for your home: tile selection, specification writing, cad drawings, and meetings. I enjoyed working on your home and I’m proud of the work I did. Your home is lovely and I hope you are happy with the results as well."
