We mutually agreed our services would not be a match for your needs. We did not charge you. We are curious about this review as no explanation is given. We will call you for clarity.

Description of Work: I bought the coupon for a consultation on a bathroom remodel. Our budget to replace a shower, a vanity top, and tile a floor in a small master bath was $10-15,000. When I talked with someone from NEXT, I was told that it wouldn't be possible for them to do a remodel for that price. The woman I talked to suggested that if we didn't have at least $25-35,000 to spend, the consultation wouldn't be worth our time. We decided to get our money back for the consultation. I appreciate their honesty.

Response from Dana King
We understood you wanted a full gut remodel. If your project is a defined scope for just a floor, shower and countertop, not a full guy, then your budget can be within reason. We may have misunderstood. We will reach out to you again. You asked for a ballpark quote over the phone. We often do prepare our clients for the costs prior to visiting. We hope it is helpful in planning and use of your time. We encourage you to study the Cost verses Value report by Remodeling Magazine which shares the average cost of remodeling for St. Louis and shows in detail what that involves. Our projects typically fall within the average cost of remodeling. Of course each home and clients needs are unique. We enjoy the opportunity to look at your space to recommend design approaches and budgets to meet your needs.

Description of Work: Rochelle provided me with a lot of useful design advice for our living room. I now finally have a workable layout to plan our living room around. She was also able to provide me with advice on some design aspects in two other rooms. We will likely hire her for further service.

They were professional and courteous.
Description of Work: Dana was fantastic and had some really good ideas. Mark was great as well. We didn't use them for anything other than the 2 hour consultation. We didn't really need the construction side of the equation and felt the fees for design were too high. I have little doubt the final design would surpass our expectations...but couldn't get my head around the value proposition for the design service.

Thank you for your review. Our design fees are well within the normal range for what we do. While there are kitchen and bath showrooms that offer free design, ours is a much better experience that offers a better outcome. We invite you to experience that through a development phase -- the start-smart package -- with deliverables that empower you to make smart decisions about your project to get the most for your budget. This is a low-risk and high-value proposition to you. We hope you take us up on our offer, but regardless, we wish you the best possible outcome and hope we left you with good ideas to make it happen.

Description of Work: Dana and Marc came to the project and spent some time looking around and giving me ideas. They provided some good feed back and helped me figure some things out. They took some measurements, walked thorugh each room and provided broad pointers as to ways to improve each room.

Dana & I exchanged a few e-mails, with me clarifying that I did not want kitchen consultation at the time - only bathroom. She and her partner showed up promptly, and we went over my current dislikes of the bathroom, and what I wanted to see at the end of a renovation. I was up front, and said I was contacting them for consultation only, just to get an idea to see if what I wanted done was feasible. They both seemed OK with that, and we proceeded to talk about possibilities. They asked me a bottom line cost, and I said 5-6K (probably unrealistic, but it was truthful). By the time they were done, they had come up with an estimate of 18K, which included cherry built-in cabinets. I had specifically said I didn't want built-ins, nor high-end materials, since I have two younger children and two dogs. I felt as though they really weren't listening to my "wants", and were just pricing high since they weren't interested in the job. Finally, I did receive a lovely thank you note from Dana, that said she would be in touch with me, yet no further contact was made. They both seemed to have a great knowledge base, but I didn't get the impression they are for a lower-cost renovation such as mine.
Description of Work: This company provided me with an estimate for re-doing my bathroom.

Thank you Member for your feedback. This is very helpful as we try to improve our consultations and our communication. We do feel any investment you make is significant and want to help in the best way possible. We hope the ideas we gave at your consultation moves you forward with your project whether you engage us or not. I want to clarify, we do NOT give estimates at our consultations, rather we share a working-budget. Please let us know how we can make this more clear. On costs, what we shared was a budget for the kinds of things you described that you wanted for your lifestyle. If we missed on this point, we want to know how we can do better. We are not interested in making a project high-dollar for our bottomline, our interest is your lifestyle, it is a core value of our business that perhaps we can communicate better. We are not interested in the quick-dollar project that may give you an update, but leaves you underwhelmed because the change did not make the difference in the way you want to live. We are here for you for the long haul and to make a difference. While we shared an 18K maximum budget, we typically give ideas how to scale back that budget and thought we had. Please let us know if we left you without options. If that is the case, we can provide a complimentary follow-up visit or visit by phone. Our custom cabinets are the same price as a good quality cabinet at the big box store and are 20 to 30 percent less than retail price for high-end custom. In short, they are a high-end cabinet at a medium price point. They are of a quality that stands up to daily family use. We are enthusiastic about them because it is such a great value. We encourage our clients to comparison shop our cabinets to see the difference. In your case, the layout required a custom cabinet or retrofitting a stock cabinet which we don't recommend. We are proud that we can offer a value-based solution. Since we met, we've made some changes in our business that may benefit you. We provide a developement process and document called a Scope-of-Work. This document allows you to make decisions about ways to save and splurge on aspects of your project and ways to do it in stages, if that makes sense. We believe it puts you in the drivers-seat to make decisions. We'd be happy to share this with you. In our consultations, we want to provide guidance and hope we gave you some good ideas and direction for your project. We'd be grateful to know how the ideas have helped you formulate a plan or how we may have done better in this regard. We very much enjoyed meeting with you and we remain interested to offer our expertise or help. We will be in touch by email.

The appointment with Dana was for an initial consultation about renovating my kitchen. Dana and her associate were very cordial, informative, and very excited to do the job, they were very impressive. I am just sorry the price was too high to have the renovation done.

Although the design plan was very good, we decided not to go with Dana's contractor, Home fix, due to his having a 'lower rating/ on Angie's list and fact that bid was rather high for work that we really wanted to do.
Description of Work: Via Angie's list coupon, Dana developed a design plan for a kitchen remodel project. It was very well-done and professional. Good ideas.

Thank you Member. I enjoyed meeting you and wish you well in your project. It will be a beautiful kitchen. Marc's bid was an estimate and fulfilled the consultation for the big deal offer to provide guidance for the project. We needed more time with you to understand the scope of finishes to provide a firm bid. Marc's work meets my high demands for accountability and quality.

I liked working with Dana. I think her tastes matched mine- or at least, she was able to adapt to mine! She offered good ideas and stayed with the price point that I had previously discussed. I asked her to stretch my thoughts a bit, to push me to be a bit more creative and I would say that she did that. She also came up with a way to save me money by suggesting I layer an area rug over a less expensive carpet, saving me quite a bit of money. I would say that Dana is fun to work with, she is professional and talented. I will work with her again and would recommend her to others. She did a very good job for me.
Description of Work: Dana came to my home to look at several rooms. I needed her help finishing the living room, family room and kitchen. She talked about area rugs, sofas and dining tables and chairs. We talked about several ideas for each room, sources for items we discussed and my budget. We met again to go shopping for several of the items. She made a few calls for me and lead me towards the items I felt comfortable with.

Dana met me at my old home to get an idea of my furishings and taste. We then went to the new home where she asked questions about my desire for each room and plans (new construction). She started giving ideass and choice colors one room at a time. As we moved to each room she always compared previous choices to insure smooth transitions in color. In three hours we finalized all interior color choices for 3300 sf (5 bedrooms/4 bathrooms). I couldn't have made that many choices so quickly and with so much confidence on my own. Awesome!!!
Description of Work: My contractor informed me I needed to make all interior color choices for my new home (3300sf) in a matter of 4 days. I had bought a 'Big Deal' from Angie's list for Dana's services a month prior and thought this would be the perfect time to use it. Dana has such a great eye for color! As you can see on her website, she is skilled in all different styles of decorating which was important to me in selecting her. We were able to pick colors for the entire home in the three hours scheduled. She also had wonderful suggestions unrelated to color choices that will no doubt make an impact to my new home. I am confident in the choices we came up. I highly recommend Dana and plan to use her in the near future to help with other design and decorating choices.

Dana King of Dana's Design Studio is a delight to work with. I love that she let me have my style, but guided me through the interior design process. The final result was just what I had envisioned. She is client-focused and budget-friendly. I have worked with several designers in the past. Dana is the best. I would recommend her for anyone looking to makeover a room, purchase new furnishings and any interior design work. Check out her portfolio and services. She is very good at returning phone calls and emails. Extra bonus: When the showroom couldn't find a discontinued fabric that I had my heart set on (a major yardage) she went way many extra miles searching the internet and just when we had given up hope of finding the discontinued fabric, she found it! She's a trooper.
Description of Work: We redesigned my living room to enrich an already loved dining room a year or so ago. This project was mostly recovering furniture. We did a total makeover of my bedroom this year, painted, added bead-board with a rim shelf around the room, recovered furniture, found accents from what I had as well as purchased new, got a custom 10 x 10 carpet that is very fun and enhances the quilt I made for the bed. She took me around to shops as well as did a lot of looking on her own to narrow down my time on the project. I loved that she brought me lots of samples and we narrowed down which gave her an idea of where I was going and then she would go out looking again. If we didn't get it right with the first sample collection, we did with the second. She worked with my painter and my floor man which made it easy and she provided some of her own people. It has been a delightful experience.....and now the family room :)
