He didn't get back to me but finally I found somebody else. He finally did get back to me but not really with a full estimate which was what I expected.
Description of Work: I called her to get an estimate on a bathroom remodel. She was busy so she gave me the name of somebody else that does installations for her. He came to look at my bathroom and give me an estimate.

I believe this is not a review for me!!!! I did not do an estimate for you or do any work for you. You must have left this for the wrong company. I am not a HE. SORRY. We always strive on our professionalism and always try to help others with their projects by referring competent companies. We are an A rated company and work very hard to stay an A rated company.

Thank you! Your project turned out great! Glad I could help.
Definitely contact Kitchen Designs by Laura if you are considering remodeling your kitchen! Laura did a phenomenal job walking me through each step of the process. I had many questions about paint, cabinetry, hardware and flooring, and Laura proved herself to be patient, honest and professional by creatively blending her extensive knowledge of a variety of materials with my design ideas for the kitchen. As the remodeling process wore on, Laura was always only a text or call away to troubleshoot and follow up with any issues that popped up. From the gorgeous wood floors to the beautiful glazed cabinets to the massive granite covered island, I now have the beautiful, traditional kitchen of my dreams thanks to the expertise of Kitchen Designs by Laura!

Laura referred me to one of her contractors who would likely be able to do the job as a side job. The man came out and was very friendly and punctual. He never got back to me with an estimate. I felt he and she wasted my time.
Description of Work: I called for an estimate to remodel 2 bathrooms in my house. She called me back right away, but said that she usually didn't take on projects unless they were worth more money. I was spending 10K per bathroom, which I didn't think was a small project!!

It's very difficult when you do not have the ability to service everyone. I was very professional with you by returning your call timely and being honest and upfront that I do not provide the service that you would need or could fit into your expected budget. I did try to help you by referring someone trustworthy that could give you a second opinion and maybe help you if at all possible. I understand he also told you that your budget was unrealistic for the amount of work that needed to be contracted. I am sorry you feel that people who give you time and honesty is a waste of your time. We aren't a good fit for everyone. Sorry that it didn't work out and we wish you the best of luck.

All work was performed to high standards. Demolition and installation were coordinated to provide a smooth flow of work. Laura kept us up to date and made sure we made timely decisions. While the work was well budgeted, it never felt like we were being nickel and dimed for fine tuning the scope of work. We started with a tired, dated house and now have a brand new contemporary home.
Description of Work: Removed existing ceiling finish (popcorn), removed existing walls,cabinets, fixtures and flooring. Installed new flooring,refinished ceilings,provided and installed new cabinets, provided and installed new plumbing fixtures. Provided and installed new cabinet and door hardware throughout. Refinished all painted surfaces. Provided and installed new ceiling lights in kitchen and family room. Installed new owner furnished ceiling fans inside (5) and out (1). Installed new owner furnished light fixtures in kitchen, bathrooms, and front hall. Coordinated installation of all new kitchen appliances.upgraded all electric service to current code and provided new wall switches,receptacles, and covers.provided references for window treatment and A/V contractors.

Unfortunately, Laura Wallace just couldn't meet my budget; in fact, her first proposal was more than double my budget. I encouraged her several times to return to the "drawing board" which she cheerfully did, but she was never able to match her proposals to my budget. I liked her enthusiasm, her ideas and appreciated her courtesy, but, in the end, her design and costs weren't in sync with what I needed for my small, modest kitchen.

I am sorry that we couldn't meet your desired dream kitchen within the budget you had to work with. We worked very hard on design and with strong effort to get the costs down to where you wanted to spend, but you weren't happy with those designs, products and cost changes. Sometimes realistic budgets can't get us our desired end results. We do take great pride in customer service and will go back to the drawing board to ensure we do everything in our power to get you the most bang for your buck. However, sometimes it just is not possible. I really enjoyed working with you through this process and wish you the best of luck.
We wanted to express how pleased and satisfied we are with our new kitchen and the level of service and quality of work from our first meeting with Laura to the end result. We also wanted to thank the contractor Jim, and the entire crew, for the professional manner in which the work was carried out. They were a pleasure to work with. We would gladly recommend Kitchen Design by Laura to anyone looking to have their kitchen remodeled in the near future. She really did a great job - even when we were stuck on picking out which granite counter top we wanted, Laura was very patient with us.

This review has been a long time coming. But having never used a designer/contractor before Laura, I had no point of comparison. Now, I do. I've learned that the things I deem most important are expertise, communication, punctuality, workmanship, and cost. Laura and her team had all of this covered, and then some. From the day of my initial inquiry, she has responded promptly to any call, text, or email. Even now, if I were to text her a question, she'd respond within minutes (despite not having worked together in 2+ years!) If I recall, she met with me within days of my initial call ... and not because her calendar is wide open. Most times, she has multiple jobs going on, but she juggles them successfully. When I decided to work with her, she wasted no time. You know those times when you find yourself calling a business more than once, and you don't get the courtesy of a return call? This doesn't happen with Laura. If she can do the job, she will. If she can't, because of scheduling or because it's not her area of expertise, she won't (but will be quick to give a referral). Ultimately, she wants to make sure you get what's best for you. And she's honest enough to admit when Kitchen Design by Laura can't meet your needs. (She even helped me when I was ready to install flooring throughout the house, which had nothing to do with the kitchen remodel.) Throughout our entire project, Laura was extremely knowledgeable, honest in her opinions, and kept in touch with me to let me know exactly what was going on at all times. And because this was a complete remodel, her creative input was extremely valuable!! She is thorough without trying to "upsell" you on anything. In fact, not only did she work within my budget, I got soooo much more bang for my buck with her functional and beautiful design. The overall project went well, with no delays. Unlike most remodels, we ran into no problems (I do realize how lucky I was). The 1 minor hiccup was when the cabinet maker built a single trash can pull-out, versus the double can pull-out that was requested. It was resolved the next day. This was my first home purchase and was made not long after the death of my mother. I had a lot going on, financially and emotionally. Laura met all of my professional expectations, and handled the job with the level of sensitivity that I needed at the time. Kitchen Design by Laura comes with my highest recommendation for your design/remodel needs!

Thank you so much for such a nice recognition. I appreciate you and everything you were going through at the time. I'm so happy that we were able to help you achieve what you wanted in your new kitchen. If you ever need anything in the future....anything. Please call me. I'll be here :) Take Care and God Bless!
When I first purchased my beach condo, living out of town was an issue. Would it go well not being able to micro-manage over my project. At the end...I knew I hired the right company. From the first time I met Laura, she had a vision to see the changes that were necessary to make this condo updated and more enjoyable. Opening walls and a new layout for the kitchen was the first step. She helped me choose the cabinetry colors and went with me to the granite yard, tile store and also helped me with the plumbing fixtures. It all came together nicely. The Contractor was impeccable. The team was clean and always left the job site tidy. They showed up when he told me they would be here. I can't say anything negative about the whole construction process. I was very satisfied with my custom cabinets. The quality of the material that went into my project was very important to me and all the recommendations that Laura gave me showed that she knows her stuff. This company is top notch and I will continue to refer them to others and also will use them again if ever the need. Thanks to everyone on your team.

Was very hesitant at the beginning due to the cost and would it be a good investment and money well spent. The final product was first class and had greatly improved the value of the home. Had no idea how a new kitchen "done right" could be such a great improvement. My money was well spent and would highly recommend Laura and her excellent crew.

The overall project went as well as I could've expected. We experienced a two-month delay at the beginning because the city required exterior impact windows be installed and completed before the rest of my remodel could continue. Laura had warned me in her proposal before any work got started that this might be a factor that was not worked into her price. Once this was resolved the rest of the remodel went relatively smoothly. Her contractor, Jim, is top notch and only works for the owner/designer Laura. They had excellent communication with both each other and me during the entire process and went out of their way to accommodate my schedule. Anyone who thinks that they won't run into problems or challenges during a remodel is being unrealistic. It's about how your designer and contractor handle the challenges that shows their professionalism and I got great treatment from Laura and Jim in every case. When we did encounter something, they told me what was possible, if it was included in the overall cost, or that it simply couldn't be done. One example was that my shower indent niches had to fit within the exterior framing of the building despite that I wanted them placed differently. Jim also immediately contacted me when my washer and dryer that I had purchased didn't fit in the designated laundry space because I'd purchased units that were over-sized. He gave me my options and we ended up building out the wall at a minimal extra cost to accommodate my choice. I couldn't even tell afterwards that it'd ever been different. Jim even took responsibility when one of his workers tracked wax onto my carpet that I wasn't planning on changing out. Because they couldn't get the wax out, Jim installed new carpet in one bedroom and no additional cost to me. Laura came up with an ingenious redesign for my master bathroom and hall closet that had an absolutely awful initial layout when the condo was built. None of the other contractors I received bids from came up with anything close. It's such a smart use of space that I'm so grateful for. Finally, the job site was always neat and tidy. Even though I wasn't living in the unit during the remodel, it was always nice to walk into a clean space to check on the progress. They also took care of little extras like carrying my fireplace mantel up 3 flights of stairs when I was out of town. If you choose to go with Kitchen Design by Laura, you're going to get a great design, top quality and high-end products and finishes installed, and first-rate professional customer service. I would not hesitate to use this company again or recommend them to any of my family or friends.
Description of Work: I had a full kitchen remodel done including floors, cabinets, counter tops and wall and floor alterations done. Kitchen appliances including refrigerator, stove/oven, dishwasher microwave and washer and dryer, all of which I purchased separately, were also installed. I also had 2 full bathrooms and a half bath gutted and remodeled as well as a hallway, linen closet and access to the master walk in closet redesigned and a fireplace mantel and surround installed.

Customer Service and Professionalism is our main goal...I want to keep it that way. I am only responding to this review because it just shows how you can't make everyone happy. We are a very conscientious company and take great pride in providing excellent service and workmanship. What she was looking for is a service I normally do not provide. I am not a handy man service, however... I gave her a recommendation of a tile person to help her. Getting a negative review and an F rating on professionalism was unwarranted.

I guess if you are lucky enough to actually have Laura give you a bid and work your job you will be happy. She was very pleasant on the phone and her clients give positive reviews. But, it is very frustrating trying to actually get a project off the ground when the people with good recommendations on Angie's List are also too busy to undertake your project.
Description of Work: We need a master bath remodel in our FL home. Contacted two people listed on Angie's List and one other company we had personal referral for. Only 1 of the companies has really pursued giving us a bid. Since we want more than 1 bid, I contacted Kitchens by Laura initially by her email several days prior to the July 18 date. Got no response. Approx. 35000.00 Finally I called the number--left message--got a return phone call 7/18. We spoke about the project and she told me she was going out of town but she would check her schedule Tuesday and call me back with a time to come out to review our project. She said that her time was booked until after first of the year--so we would have to delay the work...but we were willing to wait to have a quality job done. The general price she quoted for a master bath remodel was within our price point w/o more specific choices--so that was ok as jumping off point. As she requested in the phone call, I sent her an email confirming the conversation with our contact information. I waited Tuesday, Wednesday for her return call to schedule a meeting at our house--nothing. Now it is Thursday morning. Still waiting. And I don't see why I should need to give her a third contact. I know Laura has lot of business--maybe she didn't want this job anyway--why not just say that.

This was by far the easiest contractor to work with. Laura came to the house for a walk through on what was needed to be done to repair walls and base board damage from a water leak in the kitchen and lanai room. She spent a couple of hours with us talking about what we needed and what we wanted. Several days later we were provided with a design which needed just a few tweeks. She came to the house again with her van fully loaded with samples for us to choose from. Even before the contract was signed Laura discovered that the quartz counter we wanted was in short supply. She immediately went to her vendor and was able to secure our order. If she had delayed the project would have been several months behind schedule. The cabinet builder mailed 3 large samples of cabinet finishes and had matched the white I had chosen perfectly. Laura's work crew are the BEST! We live out of town, so it was up to the crew to move the furniture out of the lanai & living room - moving it to the back bedrooms or in the far corner of the living room. Everything was covered with plastic. They left the work area clean every night and made sure the house was locked and secure. The quality of their work is top notch - it is obvious that they take pride in what they do. The custom kitchen cabinets are beautiful, the install of the appliances perfect and the quartz counter top is fabulous. The work was completed on schedule, finishing up the last week in February. Upon completion the crew cleaned the area and moved the furniture back where they found it - something I was not expecting. After all the work was completed there was a very short 'to do' list of 5 items, mostly touch up painting. The site supervisor returned the same day to complete these items, went over even the smallest detail and corrected some things I had missed. We now have a kitchen with WOW factor & 2 very happy homeowners. Can't ask for anything better!

I'm sorry you felt that way. I thought we had great communication from start to finish and the project went along wonderfully. Over the past 3 years, this was the first time I heard that you weren't completely satisfied. I strive hard to hear my clients concerns and needs. I didn't hear that you were unhappy or unsatisfied until you wrote this review. We have a protocol on projects and site visits. With Bathrooms especially, I don't spend as much time on the project because the layouts and designs are simplistic and we usually have everything in place when the project starts, Also, I don't need to micro manage over my contractors, even as you state...they do a wonderful job and I stay in touch with them several times throughout each day. However, most of my work is conducted up until contract signing with product choice and putting the projects together. We did spend a lot of time together at that point. I only wish you would have said something to me previously. It is very important to me that you are happy. If you would like to discuss this further or if there is anything I can do...please give me a call.

All of my cabinets are de-laminating already. The sinks in the bathrooms are very low-end, and have the appearance of constantly having a grimy ring around them, despite my attempts to clean them. It all looked nice to begin with, but now it's an absolute disaster. She hasn't done anything to help me out, and I'm incredibly unhappy to say the least. I paid top dollar, and in return, got inferior products and service.

I regret to say this is not accurate and a shame to try to harm someone's reputation. We are a good company and put in quality product and workmanship in your home. Delamination can happen on Thermo-foil doors if the area is not kept at proper temperature. There is a warranty on the thermo-foil doors and we do stand behind our product. Sometimes things happen that are not in my control. That doesn't make us a bad company. However, if you read other reviews and look closely at us, you will see that we do take care of clients. If you choose to get someone else to warranty our work, then I am sorry you didn't give us a chance to do it for you. I only wish you discussed with me before expressing this publically with non-accurate information. We do take pride in all we do.

Everything went well ! My kitchen looks beautiful. Laura gave me a time frame of when the job would be completed and I am very happy to say that she kept her word. Laura has a traveling showroom and brought kitchen cabinet and quartz samples right into my house for me to look over. It was a very hard decision for me to make and it was nice to have a down to earth real person sit and give me her feelings and advice on things from her past experiences . .Laura will devote her time to you and never leave you feeling rushed. She was at my home today with samples of back splashes so that I can put the finishing touches on my new kitchen! I would without a doubt recommend her service.

From the moment we met Laura from Kitchen Design by Laura LLC we knew we found the right person for our remodeling project. She was vibrant and full of ideas. Laura immediately envisioned an updated kitchen and two bathrooms in a way no other professional interviewed had done. The depth of her knowledge regarding design concepts, products, materials, etc. was apparent. Laura worked closely with us in our multi-decision-making process. She frequently sent us to internet sites regarding product descriptions to better acquaint us with our options. She met us at various showrooms to help us in our selections. She was ALWAYS available to us and returned every phone call within a short time (even on vacation). She was always upfront, honest and realistic with us. The contractor employed by Laura was very professional and his team worked well together. They readily addressed any concerns that we had. Laura has a keen eye for workmanship and expected meticulous work from her team. If she was not completely satisfied with any part of the project she immediately had things corrected to her satisfaction. Laura respected our budget constraints and stayed within them. She frequently provided us with written budget updates as agreed-upon additional expenses occurred. The time line of the project was successfully met. Laura's good natured personality was a joy to work with. She often stated that "she wanted us happy" and happy we are beyond our expectations.
Description of Work: Complete remodeling of kitchen, master bathroom and guest bathroom. Project included tearing down of walls, electrical and plumbing restructuring, installation of custom-made cabinets and quartz countertops, installation of laminate floors in four rooms and painting of five rooms.

Service was good....Laura stated that it could take about 3 weeks and it did. She seemed to be overwhelmed with home, business and problems associated with business and getting people to work on our project. This was during the peak of the recession and remodeling was what everyone was wanting done, all at the same time. She brought her mobile showroom VAN out to our home to allow us to view some different textures and accessories. The project turned out better than we anticipated (exceeded our expectations). Laura was very professional and always returned our calls and addressed our concerns on a timely basis, in lieu of everything going on. I don't feel as though we were over sold anything and we wanted to use quality products. She gave us several options and always kept our predetermined budget in mind. She was never assuming....her prices were reasonable for what we wanted to receive. Hard working woman!!
Description of Work: Master bathroom and guest bathroom were both remodeled which included extensive re-plumbing in the master bath.

I was lucky enough to have Laura Wallace redo my kitchen several years ago. The process was done on time and efficiently. The planning was so good that the process only left me out of a kitchen for about 10 days. And it was a complete makeover! The kitchen came out so well that when it came time to remodel the master bath and facelift the guest bath I had no hesitation whatsoever in calling on Laura again. And again it was efficiently planned and executed. The crews were pleasant and a joy to work with. I highly recommend this Kitchen Design by Laura. Both my projects came out beautifully. The process from planning to execution to finished product exceeded all my expectations. I have sent several friends to her and they have thanked me profusely.
Description of Work: Total makeover of the kitchen top to bottom. Total rework and install of master bath and facelift of guest bath. On this job her contractor also repainted the interior of the house and replaced the popcorn ceilings.
