 + 0 moreIt did not go well. I paid for a promo offered on AL. They came and measured and never sent any rendering that I paid for. AL is complicit in this company's lack of regard for the poor customer service because AL was not willing to issue me a refund and charge back the company for their poor service and no delivery.
Description of Work: Measure kitchen and send rendering for renovation.

 + 1 moreAs a sole proprietor, Marilyn takes complete charge of the project and delegates the work to her wonderful crew, who are always very professional and punctual. She is on site and available always. She assisted me in every aspect of my remodel as this was the first time I ever did such a major renovation. I love her ideas and suggestions and her assertiveness. We are still moving along on our current project, and I intend to use her for my library, guest room and bathrooms. I would highly recommend her and her crew to my friends and/or anyone considering a project, whether small (such as staging) or large (such as a major renovation).
Description of Work: Remodel of kitchen, living room, dining room, foyer and bedroom, including crown molding and painting, as well as accessorizing these areas.

Description of Work: I needed help to get furniture for my living room and determine its placement, guidance to select colors , window treatments, and accessories. Also my bedroom needed decorating.

 + 7 moreBadly, see above for the whole ugly story.
Description of Work: I just retired. I set aside $30K to fix up the little condo I just bought. In my career I have managed our company moves and builds several times, most recently built a data center, so I wanted to treat myself to having someone else handle the updating of my apartment and all the follow-up with vendors, etc. Although kitchens have been part of the builds I have handled, I haven’t done a kitchen for myself, ever, so I needed an “expert,” and Marilyn advertises as such, as well as a promise to get 30% discounts on everything because she is “in the trade.” We signed a contract and with the REMAINING $28K she was sure she could address the following: 1) Kitchen upgrade, including lighting 2) Chandelier for dining room 3) Office space in LR 4) Painting 2 bedrooms 5) Window dressing 6) Installation of new vanity, medicine chest and light in bathroom 7) Organizing of master and guest closets, and 8) New molding for LR/DR. I had to pay Marilyn $2K up front to handle all of this. Since my neighbor just put in a kitchen for $5K, I didn’t think this was impossible--I was wrong. The most valuable thing I got was an introduction to Caravaggio Cabinetry in Lake Worth (561-609-3355 - Anthony@caravaggiocabinetry.com). They designed and built exquisite cabinets for my small kitchen (7.5’ x 9’), giving me an unbelievable amount of storage space, and everything finished off with fine detail. I cannot speak highly enough of their work, professionalism and timeliness. They also built a workstation for me, including filing and lots of storage and work space for my office. It’s fantastic, I love it. What I did NOT find out up front from Marilyn was that Anthony would NOT be doing the whole kitchen—just the cabinets and a hot water heater. I was also going to have to buy granite, backsplash tile, a faucet, water filter, garbage disposal and special switch therefor, refrigerator, range and hood, upgrades to electrical. I was going to have to hire an electrician, plumber, backsplash installer and have those installations done. Needless to say my budget was completely blown and I had to take out a loan just to finish the kitchen ($36K for the project). As we went along I BEGGED her to find out how much the fabricator of the granite and the backsplash installer were going to cost me--she had NO IDEA--and even now has no idea how much I paid. In addition there was no money to address any of the other items on her promised list, and I don’t even have blinds in the kitchen. All the electrical switches are still from 1970. Details like that make a big difference. When she chose the backsplash and granite for me, I went along with her recommendations, because decorating has never been my forte’ and it’s why I hired her. Only after the disastrous, long-extended installation did I learn from Marilyn than she never intended to manage the project, to quote her: “My job is not construction, nor to supervise.” So what WAS her job--just to select granite and backsplash? She went on vacation and left me to deal with fabricators, plumbers and the backsplash installer—WHO WAS FANTASTIC (Smith Beauplan 561-503-3177) and a big help to me with additional work that was overlooked. Sadly, once the backsplash was up, it looked hideous with the granite—so busy and a mish-mash of colors—it looks so bad that I’m having it replaced. Smith is helping me with that. Marilyn has of course blamed this on me because I gave her the OK on her recommendation (what I hired her for was to select and manage). She has blamed everything that went wrong with this on me or one of the vendors. As far as she’s concerned, she did great, NOTHING is ever her fault. This was a VERY EXPENSIVE, $2,059 referral fee to some good (and bad) vendors. STEER CLEAR. Use these vendors and do it yourself.

Description of Work: Marilyn organized the complete renovation of my condo. She brought together all of the workmen. We gutted the condo including a new kitchen and 2 bathrooms. New flooring throughout. Then we went shopping to wonderful suppliers. Marilyn brought wonderful artisans especially Brent Miller who created new designs for my walls. He repainted furniture and walls and even a wonderful painting. I had used Marilyn a few years ago so I knew the quality of her work. I highly recommend her and now consider her a friend

 + -1 moreAfter paying for a consultation, the arrangements for the in-home meeting were accomplished quickly. The "deal" was for a couple of hours of consultation including specific recommendations. What was delivered was little more than a presentation on her capabilities, an outline of the process she employs for assignments and a review of a portfolio of projects she has done. Hearing this approach, I decided not to go further.
Description of Work: I purchased a consultation visit and got little more than a sales pitch to do a full project.

 + 3 moreI am absolutely delighted with the work of Marilyn Weiss. I needed a designer because I moved to Florida from New Jersey and I couldn?t make my old furniture work in my new space. I also bought six kitchen chairs from Arhaus that were a mistake. Marilyn came in and transformed my home. First, she called Arhaus and got them to take back the chairs and replace them with new ones that are absolutely beautiful. This was a miracle in itself because the chairs had been in my house for almost a year when I hire her. I desperately needed new floors and new window treatments. She has terrific contacts and works with a team of guys who are true professionals. She recommended a great flooring place and we picked out Spanish Porcelain floor tiles that are perfect. As soon as guests step into my home they remark about the beautiful floors. Then she had Fernando install the tiles and he did a top-notch job. Next were the window treatments. They changed the entire look of the house. I?m so happy. She also transformed our billiards room with ideas for faux paint on the ceiling. Marilyn was able to take my furniture from up north and make it work in my home. She is a wonderful listener and her fees are very reasonable. I take great pleasure in recommending Marilyn because she is a true joy to work with. Sincerely, Linda P. Kester

 + 0 moreMy husband and I were in the process of updating and redecorating our house when we came to the point where we needed help. That's how Marilyn came into the picture. Even though we already had several items she was able to work with them and help us create a lovely setting. Shopping with Marilyn was fun! She has such a sharp eye for color and dimensions and can spot the perfect item among the mundane. She also taught me points about decorating so I now feel more comfortable in choosing some items for myself. She was patient when it took us so long to decide on a kitchen backsplash and a chair for the living room. Even though she probably wanted to scream, she just continued to help us look and look until we were satisfied. Marilyn is a jewel.
Description of Work: Assisted with decorating living room/dining room and kitchen.

 + 2 moreLet me begin by saying that this was my first time using a designer, and I will definitely use Marilyn in the future with any medium to large home renovation projects. I initially purchased the consultation, and I was impressed with her impromptu ideas- enough tto sign her up to help me make key decisions during a a medium remodeling project. Over the subsequent few months, she offered great suggestions and delivered the exact look I was after. And we didn?t spend a great deal of money even though the place truly has transformed into ?my? home. Her go-to contractors were equally as pleasant and on their ?A? game - especially Brent from Rembrent Studios, who did a great job at painting the interior. Bottom line is if you want someone who can deliver on your wants and budget, call Marilyn up.
Description of Work: Helped me pick out all colors for interior painting (paid separately at 1800) of aprox 1000 sq ft including baseboards and crown in 4 combined different colors; Went to home decor stores numerous times to find much needed art and other accessories in nearly every room we touched. Also helped me pick out new window treatments (again, paid separately at 900)

 + 1 moreDetails stated above.
Description of Work: Hired Designer 9-6-2014 to redo parts of bathroom and bedroom. List was given and approved for work to be done under$10,000. After two visits from different workers I discover that prices are way above the $10,000. I confronted designer who now said that I should be doing only l job, felt very uncomfortable at this point. One of the workers called and asked for monies due to a family emergency, I declined once again very uncomfortable. At this point I decided to cancel the work, now Marilyn tells me that they will drop their prices in half, leads me to believe that I was being overpriced to begin with. At this point I want nothing to do with these people. I had given Marilyn $700.00 down payment in all fairness I felt she should return part of that amount seeing nothing was done, she agreed as long as I wrote a note saying I would not tell of this experience. Once again she did not hold up to her end. I sent the note never to hear from her. Called her, message never returned. I must say this was my first bad experience with Angie's list, I will be very caution on my next project.

Description of Work: I hired Marilyn previously for a total kitchen renovation. Marilyn, along with her team, did a fabulous job. Therefore when I decided to update my master bathroom, Marilyn was the first and only call I made. Once again my expectations were exceeded. The bathroom is beautiful and feels like a high class spa. Marilyn is always extremely responsive, on time and always within budget. I'm now considering updating guest bathroom and once again my first call with be to Marilyn Weiss.

 + -1 moreMarilyn was there to sell me more of her self. She wanted to use the time to show me how I could redo my kitchen and I was taken to her contractor. I got an estimate and went to look at granite. I will say that I did not take control of the situation immediately. She also told me that the fee I paid for her services did not go to her, but to Angie's List. She only makes any money by selling "me" more of her services. This is something to keep in mind if you ever get one of Angie's Big buys.

 + 0 moreThe experience was ok. She is a home stager and a designer. She basically wanted us to clean out the house and paint almost every room. When we would ask her questions, she would say "I can't give away all my secrets..." So she wanted us to basically purchase more time with her. She was full of resources though, and was able to give us names of good painters to use. The only ideas that we are taking away from her was taking down all our personal items, which we already knew. So I felt like we didn't get a whole lot from the time with her. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. We had asked her about changing some things in the kitchen, but she wanted to charge for just a plan or idea. But if you go to a kitchen remodel place, you would be able to get a plan drawn up for free.

 + 0 moreShe is very knowledgeable and she was hoping to have follow on business. I really just wanted help with choosing the different paint colors for the flow of the home. We never got around to that because she discussed other things the home needed. She did have good ideas but I was disappointed that we did not stay on track. It seemed like she wanted to use all of her regular people to do the work. She wanted to re do my whole house but that was not particularly what I needed. It was a little bit over board. However, I respect her knowledge but the prices beyond the deal were high.
