We hired David to sort through the multiple choices of carpet, tile, wall coverings and cabinetry selections. He ran down tangents of different options of the electrical, layouts, cabinet design and different configurations of the floor plan. his favorite comment was let the budget decide. his question always shouldâ ve been what we would gain from deviating from building standard. This led to him missing critical deadlines and preposterous cost over runs which we primarily declined. in the end what we hired him to do, which was choices and cabinetry style color floor tile. He never did. We ended up, moving forward with making choices on our own.

Whatever be your situation, our most humble advice, RUN. If ever David Yates even approaches you, run for your life. He is a cheat and a scoundrel. We paid him his advance, signed a contract, he wasted a YEAR with nothing to show. He kept saying we will steal his designs. For heaven?s sake we hired him to design and the whole idea is to implement them. He kept sending spreadsheets of activities to be delivered, to this day, we have not seen one iota of anything that resembles a design. He kept telling our GC, ?am I going to be fired?? A year later we could not sleep his nonsense anymore, we spent hard earned money and swore we will write this review. Our telephone numbers and email address is available. Please contact my wife and or me; we will share with you our horror stories of DAI or David Yates or whatever he calls himself now. DO NOT TOUCH THIS FIRM OR HIM WITH A BARGE POLE. Those of you who are using him, please be warned. Peter Isaac & Sangeeta Francis.
Response from David Andrew Interiors Limited
"Peter and [Consumer Name Removed]: I left your review posted for the last two years just for kicks so that people could see how irrational some clients can be. The terms of the agreement were: 1. I provide a scope of design work and fee for you to approve. 2. You approve that scope of work and fee. 3. I provide that scope of work in the way of meetings, drawings, design concepts and material selections. 4. You then pay my invoice for that amount. After 2 very long years of working with you, you paid my invoices immediately. I doubt that would have happened if you had problems with my work. Then you post this review a year after stopping your project. Even the police had a chuckle with how many years the house looked abandoned. There were multiple architects, designers and contractors hired before me. That should have been my red flag."

Response from David Andrew Interiors Limited
"Richard, I am so sorry that I could not come back a second time to hang the remaining 5 pieces of art out of the 32 that you had. Your house had such a foul odor that I actually went outside and got sick against my car. You did not even notice that I had plugged my nostrils. I did the work for that day, you paid me in full, when asked when I would be returning I turned down the additional art hanging. However, I could tell that Stephanie appreciated my expertise, she was behind me the entire time watching me hang 27 framed items!"

David and his team have cooperated tremendously well with multitudes of details and people involved in what began as a smaller project.

Don't think he'd ever done decorating. Was very insulting & could not present a plan.
Response from David Andrew Interiors Limited
"Sigh, yes 35 years in the interior design business so I certainly know when I cannot please everyone. I admit my humor was a little over the top but I needed something to break the tension and indecision."

David Yates has provided me with outstanding service. He is creative while being cost conscious, and as a result of his help I have a magnificent kitchen and a jewel of an apartment that is the envy of my friends in the 'burbs! I saved significant time and money by using his services, as he always knew the best places to find the things I needed. Above all, he remained patient and helpful throughout the whole nerve wracking process.

David Andrews has been in consistent contact with me since my original email. We have had a few email programs, but other than that we are working towards my project. We haven't started my project yet, but I have been satisfied with his communications so far. Thank you.
