We were referred to this company so when we were asked to pay $1500 for a site visit and initial design, when we were not asked by other vendors, we paid thinking we were ahead of the game on a good design team. We were very wrong. We spent over 1.5 hours on site with Jason and initial designs were a mess. The owners attempted to blame our upset on personal preference and the design process that requires some back and forth.
If I sent site plans and examples then had an hour and a half onsite visit where measurements were taken and I get back plans that have cabinetry over doors and on top of bathtubs where existing plumbing is then we have a massive problem. My confidence in moving forward is at zero and we asked for a refund. They offered 50% and blamed it on the design process. The initial design work could have been done by literally anybody as cabinets were not even in the right place and not close to the design examples we sent via email and specified onsite. I paid for an expert and got poor attention to detail, plans and a disregard for the style we sent specific examples of. We should have been starting, at minimum, with the cabinets in the correct place. I do not want to work with a company that cannot even read plans or apply the onsite information and measurements to their initial designs. I would never purchase materials and trust that they were measured properly at this point.
I have gone back and forth with the owners with examples of the many reasons why they dropped the ball, but unfortunately it's on deaf ears. Companies who cannot admit that they did anything wrong are dangerous to work with and, as a business owner myself, admitting when you dropped the ball and doing what is right is important in business. I am contacting my bank to claim fraud as the person I worked with was clearly not a design expert in which I was duped into paying for.
The owner has stated that she will rebuke with our email thread which, honestly, would be great considering it gives more insight on what exactly happened here and their inability to do good business than what I'm able to type.
