OC Staging & Redesign

Had a delayed start on the job.  We had dilemmas on both parties. The original start date was suppose to be August 15th but I received a call from his sister saying Marty would not be able to make it because he was in the hospital.  I called the following Thursday and Marty answered the phone.  He did not sound to good and I told him that we should wait.  I wanted him to get better and plus we had a baby in the family coming.  On the 24th I called and he sounded much healthier.  We set up an appointment and he came on time.  He did some work and was up and down the stairs and I helped out a lot with the process.  He kept encouraging me to not help.  They mentioned they were going to call and take all the stuff to GoodWill.  His sister was trying to figure out who to call so I just stepped in and called places myself.  We ended up just taking everything ourselves and dropping them off at a local GoodWill.  They didn't seem to helpful with disposing of items and this was a little disappointing to us.  We were to continue the work this morning and I have yet to hear from him.  I have called and left several messages.  I am afraid he might have gotten ill from all the manual labor yesterday.  I understand if he is ill and can't do the work but I would just like someone to give me some information.  I am not unhappy with Marty as a worker and he is great.  I am just frustrated with the no response.  I would just like a yes or no if he will be able to complete the job.  I do not want to kill himself doing the job and would like an honest answer of yes or no.  If not I would like to hire someone else.  

Marty did a good job, he was professional and he was not aggresive about getting rid of certain items.  He was friendly to what I wanted to save.

Overall, the whole experience exceeded my expectations. The cost was extremely reasonable, considering the phenomenal end result, and the professional and respectful manner in which we were treated (along with our "average" furnishings) was terrific! Marty and his staff spent many more hours than we expected at our house- and the cost was still extremely reasonable. The end result- we had our first Open House on Sunday, and we had a contract within 2 days - even though it was August, and the prime selling time was winding down. We sold the house to a nice family and closed in September. We decided we wanted to enjoy our new house from the very start, so we hired O C Staging to come to our new home when the movers arrived, so he could supervise the placement of the rugs and heavy furniture. Then he came out for a few hours everyday for about a week and helped us unpack and hang pictures, place lamps, arrange bookcases, and everything! Our new house looked amazing after only a week! No boxes or moving stuff all over the house. It looked like we had been living there for a couple of months! I wish I had known about OC Staging when we moved into our old house 7 years ago ! I have pictures of the house we sold and pictures of the new house- all staged by OC Staging. I am happy to share with anyone interested.
