Basement Design Professionals

“I had a wonderful time working with Martha and her team. I was nervous to work with a designer for the first time, but Carrie and Martha made me feel completely at ease with the entire process. Going into our family room remodel, I wasn't sure about how everything would fit into my budget, but they helped me figure out what made the most sense for me. And it was amazing how well Carrie stuck to our plan! Even when my new sofa wasn't going to make it in time for a family gathering, she found and delivered a replacement for me to use until my actual furniture arrived. It would have been impossible for me to do this all on my own, and we love our new family room! Thank you girls!”

“I am an architect that has worked with Finecraft on several residential projects and they do an excellent job. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail is superb. They are able to think in architectural terms and their sense of design and aesthetics is very reliable. Their management of the construction process is well thought out, and benefits from years of experience. On the contractual side, Finecraft is very good at negotiating the cost of a project, providing valuable input for economy and buildability without cutting corners. I find the whole Finecraft team a pleasure to work with. I am happy to serve as a reference if necessary, and prospective clients may contact me at Studio One Architects (301.946.4601).

“My wife and I contacted several kitchen remodelers in the local area and found Bull Run Kitchen and Bath to be both the most responsive and the most affordable. Our estimator/designer, Tracy, was very courteous and eager to ensure that we got things correct up-front so there would be no surprises. It took my wife and I a few weeks to settle on a design and during that time we made several changes and Tracy was able to react both efficiently and rapidly, always letting us know if we were straying beyond our budget. We finally signed the contract on a Friday and the work began on the following Monday. The foreman, Hakan, who supervised all work accomplished was friendly and incredibly professional. I was particularly impressed with his attention to detail. He responded to our every request and worked around our schedule with absolutely no resultant issues. He made sure that every detail was accomplished properly and followed-up to ensure that even the smallest detail was completed satisfactorily. We've had a lot of major work done over the years and this was one of the largest projects we have attempted; it is also the most successful. A short word about the workmen who did the actual demolition, installation, and follow-up. They were both efficient and highly capable and their response to our many requests was always friendly and helpful. When we asked for the impossible they would explain why the request couldn't work and then frequently showed us other ways to accomplish what we wanted. I'm certain that they saved us many long-term headaches. The BOTTOM LINE is we are extremely pleased with our new kitchen and can't wait to show it off at Thanksgiving. Our thanks to Tracy, Hakan, and the work crew for a job extremely well done!”

“I am currently going through a complete renovation of my newly purchased home in Washington D.C. I heard about Pierre Jean- Baptiste interiors through a friend of mine and when the renovations were completed on my upper level I was very interested in having an interior design service come and design the space. What I initially liked about Pierre Jean-Baptiste interiors was my consultation was free so I didn't feel pressure to be committed to this company until after I met with the designer and heard his ideas and input. When Pierre came to my home I was able to explain to him in full detail what my ideas were for the space. I felt that he listened and provided me with some helpful input. At the end of this process I have a completely amazing space Pierre did everything including wall colours, furniture, accents, and storage, and not only is my space amazing it is fully functional which was one thing that was very important to me and was stressed to Pierre at the beginning of this project. Overall I am extremely pleased with my decision to hire Pierre Jean-Baptiste Interiors for my design needs and I will definitely be calling them when my lower level is complete. I feel like I got a fair price, it was a good value, everything was done on time, as quoted with no surprises. Pierre also gave me a great deal on a gift certificate for my sister. I could not be more pleased with this company. company.”

“We hired Brickmoon Design to draw plans for our small 1920 bungalow to add a 2nd bath and were hoping to get the washer/dryer into the house (from the garage). They came up with 2 main ideas, took dimensions and we had the survey done, but we have not made a decision on whether to 1) stay within our small 1350 sf footprint, or 2) add onto the house at a substantially higher cost. My husband doesn't want to spend the extra money to add on but I like the addition idea the best, so we have not gone any further. So far, we are out about $5,000 for plans and survey but are stalled. Brickmoon gave us exactly what we asked for, but I still think there has got to be a cost effective way to add an additional 200-300 square feet. Am I dreaming?”

“When Cindy was finished styling my home I was so much happier in it. I am a very strong minded women who knew what I wanted. Cindy was able to work very well with me, subtlety directing me to what worked best in my house without me even knowing it. I ended up with a gorgeous professionally styled home that I could never have achieved on my own. The entire time she was also very respectful of my ideas and preferences. Her staff was also a pleasure to work with. Her and her delightful team were very prompt and easy to get in touch with. They resolved all issues quickly and professionally. In addition to being a top designer Cindy is also a wonderful person.”

“Michael LoBuglio has great vision and a strong work ethic. He designed plans to renovate the first floor of our house, complete with built-ins, windows and small structural changes. He listened well to our thoughts and presented his own ideas for a solution that worked out well for our needs.”

“We worked with Feinmann on the total remodel of our home in Milton. Feinmann's team was very thorough and responsible, and made sure our needs and interests were respected in the design and execution of our home. They worked with us at every stage to keep us clear on where we were in the project and what the next steps were. Their execution was quite impressive - I felt strongly that the foreman on the job took personal pride in his work and the work of his team and they were diligent in repairing / replacing items that were less than perfect (scratches in the finish of the floor, etc.). As with most older homes, there were some unpleasant surprises during the demolition phase of the project that caused the overall price to increase, but the project manager was good about calling those out and taking time to work up different solutions so we understood the cost implications the best we could. The results of Feinmann's work are truly excellent, and we are very happy to have worked with them on our project.”

“Lucy is wonderful to work with. She tailors the design to your tastes and comfort level--and then gives you a little push to something you never would have thought of, but love once she has done. I'm very happy with the final outcome.”

“I've worked with Bonnie for several years in Seattle and highly recommend Bonnie for her creative designs. She knows how to blend color & style to a unique design that will give your home a wonderful feeling of uniqueness. Bonnie is a rare individual that knows how to work with the practical and utilize her creative gift to give you an experience of Creative Design.”
