"I expressed my concern to Kaley, the office scheduler, that I wanted an experienced licensed electrician to reinstall a ceiling fan that had issues. She sent Eric out with Kenny. Eric said the ceiling fan I had was defective and agreed to install a replacement. Kaley told me she would send Eric (who has 4 years experience) to install the fan but instead the very green Kenny showed up. After Kenny installed the fan you could not turn both the light and fan on at the wall. He had to call Eric and ask him how to wire it so that it would not do that. Eric told him how to fix the wiring; but the whole fan was wobbling and clicking when he was done. He admitted that something was wrong and he did not know what. He called Eric to figure it out while I called Kaley who did not answer and left a message. Kaley called back later and said she would send Eric out to fix the problem. Eric did come out but brought Kenny with him. Eric turned on the fan, looked at the obvious wobbling and clicking and said that nothing was wrong with the fan and that they all wobbled and made noise. I knew this was not true because I looked at the Lowes reviews about how smooth and quiet these fans were. Also, Kenny had admitted that something was wrong. I told Eric about the troubleshooting options for wobbling and noise. Eric was belligerent and refused to check anything. Such as a loose blade armor fan mounting not secure. I told Eric that the manufacturer said you could balance the fan blades by switching one fan blade with a blade from the opposite side. Eric said **That is not true** I said **So you are disagreeing with the manufacturer?** He did not say anything but told Kenny to switch the fan blades. He refused to check the blade arms, the fan mounting, the outlet box, or the mounting bracket to see if secure as recommended by the manufacturer. He said **I do not need to look, I know it is fine and Kenny installed some other fans like this with no problem**. Since Eric refused to do the job that Kenny admitted was not right; there was not much I could do about it other than say **Okay I will let it go** and then leave a review. I am now looking for a master electrician, working by himself, who is not trying to protect a green worker, to do this job. UPDATE: Kaley offered to send out an electrician who had more experience than Eric; and his name was Hector. Hector was immediately very polite, friendly, professional, and personable. He did everything he could to see what the problem was and fix it. He removed the ceiling fan and checked over everything. He was able to eliminate the noise by securing the base better. He lined up the chains correctly so that they were no longer difficult to pull and no longer making noise. He worked on balancing the fan blades and got them in better balance. I am overall happy with the experience and the end result. The reason I am not giving more stars is that I initially requested an electrician who was very experienced and skilled. I was told that Eric had 4 years experience and that he would be sent to me. However when the electrician showed up, it was not Eric, it was Kenny who was very green."

"Excellent Angie's Deal. Ramon was able to schedule us immediately, and Chris was able to complete both projects in the allotted time (4 hours). The wall blends perfectly with the existing kitchen wall that we're going to wait on a splash behind the stove.  We had concern about the quality of the dry wall material being used to fill the hole left by the electrian that wasn't fully addressed; apparently it "didn't matter", and was covered in a blink. Better had we done that shopping in advance (material was not included in the price).  But it does look very good, and so does the bathroom ceiling, though it needs a painting (another project). Chris was careful to clean up afterwards, and he used a tarp to protect the carpet.

"I will be very honest in my assessment of Amanda. Sitting in front of me I have a beautiful design for my living room and dining room in a townhouse I owned in Houston. Amanda picked beautiful, comfortable chairs, nice wallpaper and very cool lighting.  The problem with Amanda is not her ability to design an amazing room - she certainly is very talented. The problem I experienced with Amanda was the inability to handle the details, to stay on top of the project, and to assist with actually putting the room together. This may be a problem in general, with all on-line designers, who knows.  I do know that I ordered this package from Amanda in August of 2013.  My first conference call with her was some time around October, and my designs were given to me (not the complete design) some time in December.  I learned quickly that when Amanda says she would have something for me "by the end of the week," she really meant about 2-3 weeks down the road.  In any event, I was elated when I got my first design for my dining room. I delayed placing an order because the stuff she picked was a bit pricey and I wanted to save my money over the holidays. I placed an order in early February for two rugs and a chandelier - totaling well over $3,000.00. Amanda advised that it could take about 4 weeks for the rugs and chandelier to come, which was no problem with me.  8 weeks passed and I began emailing Amanda. (Mind you that the money was charged to me immediately, with no follow up emails from any of the manufactures, no indication of shipping, nothing... so I began to feel uneasy). After a couple of unreturned emails and phone calls, Amanda apologized for the delay, mentioned that she was surprised I hadn't received anything yet, and explained to me her mother was in an accident. No biggie, but I explained to her that I would be out of the country in mid-April and unavailable to sign for anything. She assured me the rugs were en route from Georgia and would be there before I leave.  As far as the chandelier, we discovered that they had attempted to deliver it, but Amanda had provided them the incorrect phone number, so they were not able to get in touch with me. I asked her to correct this so I could receive the chandelier. Because I never heard back from the company, and no additional attempts to deliver were made, I am assuming she did not do this.  And, as could be expected, the rugs did not come before I left - they came when I was in Germany and when no one was home to sign for them. Since over 12 weeks had passed since my order, I contacted my credit card company and initiated a charge back.  They agreed with me that it was concerning that so much time had passed with very little contact, and immediately refunded my money. (Amanda and her husband eventually tried to fight my chargeback, but they were of course unsuccessful. I did not have the goods, and they never attempted to re-deliver them). Also, I will add the following to things about my experience with Amanda, which bothered me:
1) I was told in January I would have curtains and throw pillows picked out "by the end of the week." Those never came.
2) Amanda said she had a client in Florida who would ship me a sample of the wallpaper. This never came either. Amanda said it was shipped to me - I never received it and kind of doubt it ever was.
So basically, $500 dollars for two rooms of design got me some dining room chairs (albeit - awesome), a table she picked out that was too expensive so I found a different one, some cool wallpaper that I will never be able to get a sample of, two expensive rugs and a chandelier that resulted in a credit card fight and a headache. At the end of the day, my advice is that if you want a talented and friendly person to design your home, don't mind waiting some time for it all to come together, and are cool with locating the stuff and putting it all together on your own, Amanda may be it for you. If you want a designer who is good at following up with details, assuring stuff gets to you in a reasonable time, and assists with pulling the room together and finalizing your project, I would highly recommend you find someone else."
