"Paul Gregory is a professional in every sense of the word. His communication with me prior to and during the feasibility discussion was terrific; his ability to explain the engineering helped me “see” what he saw and the potential solutions. Without question, Paul is a highly skilled and experienced engineer, and these assets inform his creative and solid approaches to solving structural challenges. As others have noted, he is pleasant, timely, and has reasonable rates. I would not hesitate to refer him to my family and friends, and when my family moves onto the next step of our small kitchen re-model, he’s the first call I’ll make. Thanks, Paul!"

"Very responsive to questions. Very knowledgeable"

"Heather grasped my situation immediately and was very considerate of my budget."

"My experience with Deborah Hannon started out very positive. She recommended things that really captured the look I was going for in my new home. She asked for payment up front and I made the mistake of overlooking this and paid for some window treatments for two rooms. When I got the quote for some wallpaper I was completely taken back on the pricing. Deborah said she would not upsell me on the prices of the wallpaper. I did some research and was able to find most of the wallpapers much cheaper. I also found an excellent wallpaper installer that was 75% cheaper than the quote from Deborah. So I told her I was going with the window treatments but not the wallpaper. She quickly responded to ask why and I was honest with the pricing was significantly higher. So I ordered soft touch Roman shades and paid in full on October 5th to be ready for a December 15th install. I was told 10 days for fabrication so thought this would be no problem. Communication was terrible after she had my money with excuses each time of why she took so long to get back. On the night before the treatments were to be installed Deborah called to tell me the soft touch mechanism was recalled and the would be manual cords. Then proceeded to tell me they would not be ready for installation. This happened on December 14. She said approximately 10 days. On Jan 9 when I had not heard I started sending emails of which were never responded to. I sent text messages never responded to. I made phone calls never responded to. Finally on Feb 2 I received a text stating they were ready and a date of Feb 6 to install. The installer who had came and put up some temp shaded came and completed the install a very nice young man. So I finally received my window treatments not exactly what I wanted and definitely a price much higher than I would have paid elsewhere. I have since read many reviews in the Cozy Cottage and it seems like I was lucky as several still have not received their product and even local businesses have commented on the dishonest business relations."

"From start to finish, it was a pleasure working with this company. The quality of the work was excellent. They were on time each day and finished the job in less time than estimated and under budget!"

"After meeting with and receiving quotes from 5 different local painting professionals, we selected Gene and his team and are so happy that we did! Gene was incredibly communicative and responsive to all of our questions and needs. The pricing was fair, competitive, and complete with no hidden costs. The team arrived on time everyday, were incredibly respectful of our home and space, and were very thorough in their work and cleanup. Beyond that, Gene was so patient with me as I struggled with decision paralysis when selecting paint colors and offered some great professional opinions to guide me. The project took a few days longer than originally anticipated but that is becuase Gene and his team wanted to ensure we were 100% happy with the finished product - I much prefer a superior final product over speed. We are so pleased with the final product and will absolutely be calling Gene for our next painting project!"

"We had Design Q&A create plans for our basement remodel for a contractor they often work with and were very happy with the results. Our designer Paul had several good ideas and he was able to provide additional thought and assistance during the actual construction phase which we very much appreciated. The style we were looking for was mid century modern with a bit of a modern twist. It turned out really good."
