"Had to postpone the job. when I tried to call back and schedule another one they never contacted me back.


UPDATE - They have reached out to me and are coming to my home on 1/8/15. I will update again after I meet with them.

UPDATE - 2/4/2015 - They did come to my home and provided an estimate and plan for lighting our back yard and deck. 6 lights were included in our original purchased deal. Their proposal was for the original 6 lights plus another $1500 worth of lighting. I like their plan but we weren't prepared to spend the additional money at this time. They came out yesterday and installed just the initial 6 lights. They arrived on time and the work they did is wonderful. Our deck is beautifully lit now and I am very happy. While this relationship got off to a rocky start, they made it right and we will hire them again when we're ready to finish the back yard lighting. Also - the deal was supposed to be for the front of the house - but that wasn't clear when I bought the deal - so they allowed us to use our 6 lights on the deck. I'm sure they want the front so that they can show off their work - and that makes sense to me - as their work is worth showing off. I would now highly recommend this company."

"Arnold and Jared arrived on time; weâ re professional, friendly, and completed the install expertly. This is the third project I had VESLLC do for me. Extremely happy with their work and cleaning up after. Highly Recommend them!! Already thinking of a few other projects for them to do. Fair priceâ ¦ they listen and then recommend the best way to complete the projectâ ¦They donâ t over selll!"

"House painting was excellent- got entire house painted in 4 days, did wall prep and paint multiple coats as needed. Deck work was done very well, matching materials, including worked the issue with the patio and yard slope, they added step to adjust for yard grade. Fencing contractor completed the work quickly and did great job connecting with existing fence and decks."

"We were generally pleased with the work that was done with the attic fan installation. The job was big and messy. Because of my plaster ceiling the edges around the fan need to be repaired. I was not told about this and because of my lack of knowledge I was not aware that I would be left to repair the ceiling. Other than that they did a great job. I am looking to bring them back to install ceiling fans in the bedrooms."

"I expected the wires to be hid in the wall. This was not part of the deal. Also, the bracket was not centered on the wall."

"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."

"First off, thanks to Rocco, owner of company, for working around my crazy work hours, rotating morning, afternoon, nights, as I do all 3 shifts at my job. Very considerate he was. Highly recommended this company for all your home construction needs!!!! Rocco initially performed an evalution inspection of scope size of my bath job. He was super knowledgeable and thorough. I was impressed. I then compared between 3 estimates and since Rocco was squared away, knowledgeable and first back to me with estimate, he stole the job right away. Approx 50 hours on my jobsite was put in. Rocco first stripped 3 walls of old wallpaper, then smoothed, mudded, sanded, cured walls, followed by 2 coats of Kilz primer, 2 coats of paint to finish the walls and ceiling. Did paint 2 bath doors as well. Great finished paint texture. He kept clean throughout. Next, he removed old ceiling fan exhaust and installed new fan with a light on it. Inspected attic as well. Then removed 2 old hanging vanity lights on chains & hooks. Filled ceiling, wall holes with mud, sanded painted over to match rest room. He then installed subfloor plywood and topped floor with vinyl 12" x 12" adhesive tiles. For added securing, he used tile glue as well. Next, he lined baseboard trim molding, all pieces cut to fit. Rocco suggested beautiful wainscoting on 3 walls and then installed that and finished wall trim around top & corners. Again, cutting to fit. Caulking around all molding, trim, shower base, etc, was very neat and done well. Rocco then removed and disguarded my old sink with vanity, and old 2 piece toilet. Next, he installed new vanity cabinets topped then with new sink. He caulked sink top securely to walls & vanity. He installed all plumbing, valves, water lines and sink faucet. Ensured no leakage as well. Next, he installed new one piece toilet with new water line and valve. I was pleased when Rocco also removed electric baseboard heater, dissembled heater sections and spray painted all heater pieces to match room. Lastly, Rocco installed 2 new light/fan switches and GFI outlet. Followed by installing beautiful nickel finish 3 lamp vanity light fixture over and centered over sink. Final touch was the installation of a heavy vanity mirror, secured and centered over sink to my liking!! Was so happy with that light fixture and mirror and Rocco's attention to details installing both. All throughout Rocco and I kept good communications and Rocco was very considerate, laid back and added timely ideas and suggestions. He replied immediately to all my calls, emails, and texts. I take away his company is very professional and highly capable of major house construction work. So happy and very pleased with Falcone Construction Inc. Thanks Bro!!!
