His work is very high quality, will recommend him for all things remodeling."
"Donna and Jeff (owners) were hands on supervisors. They both patiently answered lots of questions and provided recommendations and resources out of their scope of business. I felt confident that Jeff and Donna knew their business well and that my best interests were being well served. I feel confident that they will respond quickly to any questions that I may have in the future regarding this project. I would recommend them without any reservation. I felt like I was fairly treated and charged a fair price for their services and the system installed. Stated scheduled was maintained with proposed start and completion dates. "

"I purchased a Big Deal from R&R Power Washing, Painting & More, but they had to send out a subcontractor to do the work, because they were too busy to do it all. The subcontractor was fair. They were very nice, professional and knowledgeable, when I talked to them on the phone."
"Great. I had this work done just over a year ago (should have submitted review sooner). Estimate. Charlie examined bathroom, had plenty of samples of options to review, and provided firm fixed quote. There were some material issues that I'll note below. At no time did the final cost change. Timeline. Installation began about a month or so after I accepted the quote and paid half down for material. I think Charile was ready in about 2 weeks, but I had business travel. Working together to find a common acceptable period for installation was easy. Installation. The first day Charlie showed up with a crew of 4 to take care of the electrical work (did have another ceiling fan installed) and demolition. Following that, there were 2 full time workers on site. They worked long hours, well over 8 hour days. Normall, the job would have taken about a week. I'll give more detail on the one issue below that drew the task out longer. The guys were good about taking care not to impact the rest of the house (carpet, etc.). After install, they did a good job cleaning up. During the install, there were a few minor options ... how to frame the door, orientation of tile, the color of the tile, etc. The crew provided options and good advice (I'm no kind of interior decorator). The part of the service was excellent. Quality. I have done basic carpentry and electrical work. I believe the quality of the work to be good to excellent, both what you see and what was done "behind the dry wall." The work that you can see is excellent. Material. I was a little worried about the material used for the walls as opposed to tile. I'm pleased to say I'm more than happy with the "acrylic" (I think that's correct) walls as well as base and door. Only issue. The base received was not the correct one. The second base received had a quality issue. They guys pointed this out to me. I'm sure it cost them money out of their pocket / profit to spend the extra time on site. My take away from this was the guys were MY quality advocates and did what was necessary to ensure the highest quality product was used and the job was done right the first time! Things happen. The question is how well does your contractor support you. While I wasn't crazy about the delay (about 3 days, not major for me). I was thrilled the issue was immediately brought to my attention and resolved even though it took extra effort on their part. Overall job outcome. I feel what was quoted was provided. Very satisfied. 1 year review ... I remain satisfied. I have had zero issues. Other than the glass doors (which are famous for requiring cleaning when used for bath doors - this was noted before installation). Is the biggest maintenance job. Caring for the bath itself has required average to minimal effort. Give Dream Bath / Charlie a call before you have your bathroom remodeled! "
"When we decided to redo our kitchen in April of 2012, we knew what we wanted fixed, our budget and that's about it. We started talking to contractors, kitchen design centers and researching ideas. We quickly realized we were in WAY over our heads. A lot of places offer free design services if you buy all of your materials through them. We didn't want to be tied down. We didn't want a complete tear down to the studs, either. Homemade Design to the rescue! First of all the price was an absolute steal for the service provided. Amanda and co. Listened to what we wanted and came up with inovative,functional and beautiful solutions. Our house is old. We wanted to keep that 1920s feel, but still have a dishwasher, granite countertops and stainless appliances! Amanda had the brilliant idea of only replacing the bottom cabinets. She also gave me excellent instructions on how to refinish my existing cabinets so they look like new. This was a perfect solution for US. Homemade Design gave us ideas for layout, cabinets, lighting, wall paint, appliances, furniture, countertops, backsplash, faucets, sink,and cusions for built in. She would have recommended flooring if we wanted,but we didn't. Now, Amanda is more like a consultant...( I actually called her my kitchen remodel therapist). You still are ultimately responsible for the plan and what works for you. If your measurements are off (like mine were) that's on you. I was adament about no island and no microwave over the stove and so she didn't put those in the design. Some suggestions were not my style. And I said so. Honestly, if I picked out my own kitchen it would be so safe: white subway tile or something. Amanda gave me the guts to mix patterns and create something spectacular! It took almost a year to complete ( contractors fault) We did a lot of work ourselves. We bought the cabinets, backsplash tile, light fixtures, table and banquette cusions through Homemade Design at a great discount, we checked!! If you try shopping for any part of your kitchen, the volume of choices can be overwhelming. We loved having Amanda narrow it down for us. Communication was through email, mostly. She never took longer than three business days to respond to my million questions or concerns. Awesome. 5 months later, my kitchen is a dream come true. And I owe it all to Homemade Design! "
"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging. Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs. "
