There were no drawings done for the kitchen layout, just an option to remove a wall, which we did not ask for. The laundry room/mud room was poorly planned out. When we confronted him, he said the washer/dryer/sink would not fit. We literally walked him over to the space with a tape measure and had to show him it would work. We had asked for a master bed/bath, what we got was three drawings with a master bath and an expansion on our existing 2nd bath. We specifically wanted a 3rd bathroom. None of the drawings reflected that. He seemed to be adding things to use up our budget in drawings that were not requested by us, and then when we said we wanted something added he would make snide comments about the cost. He got very defensive if we gave ideas. He made fun of me when I said I wanted cabinets to the ceilings for storage. And went on to proceed to tell me he showed his "sketches" to a neighbor of ours. I felt that was totally inappropriate, I do not need our neighbors knowing my business, let alone anything. He again got very defensive. This was our second meeting. At the end of our second meeting we were told that if we email him with questions over the next week asking for feedback, he would not be available as he had another job. We said okay. Over two weeks went by, no word. We finally agreed on a Sunday, and he was to let us know what time as it was his anniversary weekend, and I was trying to be nice and work around his weekend. Sunday came, it went. He even had time to blog on Sunday, however, we never heard from him. We called, we emailed, we got a very unprofessional response that next day that on Sunday he had to charge his phone and had to be in bed by 8:30pm for an early meeting with a client on Monday. He "claimed" to have texted me Sat. morning before, we never received a text. We stayed home all day wondering what happened to find out he was still out of town through his facebook page. We terminated this relationship due to the fact that if this is how they do business before any real work has been started, than what will the rest of the project be like? This designer has the attitude that YOU need him, HE clearly does not need you. From what I have now heard, he blows his clients off a lot. There are a lot of better, more professional designers out there... move past this one. They don't even really have a good portfolio to look at anyway. Not enough work history. Very disappointed as he has our money, and really no work was done. We offered to return his few sketches, to no avail. We have not heard from him since. Not even an apology.
Description of Work: We hired this company because he was a friend and a neighbor and we thought he would be professional. We gave a large deposit to start our renovation drawings/planning. Our goal was to redo our floors, gut the kitchen, add on a master bedroom with bath, mud room and to make our one car garage a two car. This was to be a big project. We met with the designer first meeting to go over our ideas, and give our deposit. Our second meeting he came to us with some sketches, no measurements, just sketches to go over and choose from and to make changes. Our third meeting never happened .
