Lifestyle Group Residential Remodeling

It went very well. Mr. Horen was very professional in his interactions, timely and accommodating. He followed through with his planning in the manner we had discussed and was very willing to accommodate our wishes in the planning and cost estimates. We look forward to working with him in the future.

The Lifestyle Group owner was very responsive and professional when I called to schedule a meeting for the Angie's List Deal I had purchased, which was for a set of blueprints and estimate for a bathroom remodeling project. He scheduled an appointment to come to my house to see the bathroom and arrived exactly on time. I explained that I was interested in remodeling both bathrooms, so he kindly agreed look at, take measurements and give estimates for both of them. He was at my house for about an hour, then we scheduled a follow-up meeting about one week later at the business location to look at materials. When I arrived, he explained the different types/grades of materials available for flooring and counter, then he provided me with hard-copy estimates for both bathrooms. The estimates did not include any remodeling/construction (i.e. no blueprints) and were limited to replacement with low-to-mid grade level flooring for both bathrooms and counter for only one bathroom; the total estimate was $17,000+. I received estimates from other contractors that ranged from $7,500-$14,000 for similar or higher grade materials that also included interior painting. I appreciated the responsiveness of the Lifestyle Group owner and believe they likely do high-quality work based on other Angie's List customer ratings; however the estimate he provided for my project showed lackluster creativity/effort and was excessively high.

The service was good and we are satisfied with the plans.

They were very knowledgeable and friendly to work with. Despite having made an alteration to our original plans for the basement their alteration proved to be more to my wife's liking. Unfortunately their estimate was more than double any other contractor who bid for the work gave. Even with improved materials we could not justify the additional cost and selected another provider.

Geoff came in, reviewed both rooms I wanted remodeled, listened to my ideas then took everything back to his office. One week later My husband and I went to his office for the floor-plan review. We were given everything and told to contact him should we want to go forward. We made a few changes to his design (added cabinets, switched cabinet purposes and locations, etc) but overall loved what he came up with and agreed to his contract. Work will start the last week of October so I will send another review after work is completed (approx 9 weeks). Some might say his designs are pricey but you are in control of the price range you want on materials (cabinets, counters, flooring, etc). He and his team were very professional and courteous. At this point I feel like I could not have found a better contractor than LifeStyle Group.

We used the Big Deal to get Kitchen Plans and a design consultation. Although we didn't end up going ahead with the remodel, we liked their design and the price of our design.

Geoff answered all our questions about his design concept and we discussed other options that we could incorporate should we decide to continue the project. He didn't rush us and was very professional. There was no pressure to purchase the services for the remodel, we left with the designs as promised in the Big Deal, and with a great feeling about Lifestyle Group. While we haven't decided to have the work done yet, we would certainly consider Lifestyle Group for the contractor.

I perchased an Angies list deal to have a set of plans for a kitchen and bath remodel. Geoff was very easy to talk to and patient with my schedule. I was unable at the last minute to meet him at the agreed on time due to an emergency at work. I called and he was understanding about the delay. He took his time with me and listened to everything I wanted and he offered his opinion about what might work and what or why it might not be a good idea. At our second meeting today he had some fantastic ideas for the remodel. I loved the plans he came up with. I loved it that he has examples of options for material there to look at. He was truly very low pressure to hire him to do the remodel. He had pictures of his work readily available to see in relation to what I need. I am still gathering information and estimates, so like I told Geoff, I will definitely keep him in line to consider doing the job. Even if someone can do the job for a lower price (I don't have anything to compare it to yet) I liked him and his design enough to consider paying more for the job I want.

Had great remodel ideas for kitchen, pricing seemed fairly reasonable, showroom is nice. Very professional, appreciated the ideas provided -- not sure yet if we're going to remodel at this time but good to get the estimate and measurements for a very reasonable price.

Scheduling the appointment went smoothly. I feel the price for the plans was a good value for the money. We were happy with the plans and are considering having the work done at some point in the future.

They were very cooperative and gave us a good plan. I would recommend them to anyone.

Geoff met with us at our home (September 6) so he could see the kitchen, talk with us about our preferences and what we hoped to accomplish with the remodel. He listened attentively, took notes and pictures, and talked us through some immediate recommendations at this first visit. We then met him a week later (September 13) as follow up to the earlier meeting, and here he presented his design in multiple printed layouts corresponding to the images he projected of our existing layout. He talked us through every choice he made and his reasons for doing so. Working with him during both visits was a complete pleasure. No hard pressure to act immediately, in fact, he reassured us to take the needed time to think through his designs and to use them as a starting point should we have questions or prefer to make adjustments. I came away feeling completely comfortable working with him, that he would manage the project with great care and professionalism. Once we talked through designs and ideas, he provided us with a cost break down, itemizing all aspects of the project. My experience with Geoff & his Lifestyle Group was exactly what I needed to better understand the various parts of this kitchen project -- what can be done within our small space and what must be done in order to remedy the current problems we are now facing with a very old and outdated kitchen.

Although they did a nice job of providing a kitchen remodel plan, the plan itself was too "generic", in the end we didn't see the value of doing all the work to just move appliances and put in new cabinets. We got a second plan from another design firm and we seemed to connect better and got a plan that encompassed all of our wants.

Blueprints were part of a "Big Deal". Mr. Horen came over and looked at our original kitchen, listened to what we were thinking and wanting, and then met with us later with a few detailed blueprints of what our new kitchen could look like. He presented different options with estimates for each. He went through some of the different materials, cabinets, flooring we could use. Mr. Horen is very detail oriented and we could tell he liked and was very good at what he does. We loved his plans but in shopping around Angie's list we found another contractor who was able to complete the job for less. We have to say assuming all the responsibility for picking out everything and trying to match colors was a lot of work and worry and Lifestyle would have done that for us.. It might be worth spending more money with Lifestyle and getting their expertise. We would use Lifestyle again for any remodeling plans.

For the $60.00, we got a visit to get pictures and measurements of the area, and then a consult with presentation of proposed floor plan with measurements and a price estimate of job costs. I hoped for a list of possible products/fixtures with cost estimates. I did get suggestions for types of tile, cabinet, and counter finishes that would be included in the supplied estimate. The designer was friendly and not pushy. It was a good value for the money.

He was respectable, professional, and just the type of person you would like to do business with.

Lifestyle contacted me the same day I purchased the "Big Deal" to schedule appointments. Geoff Horen, CEO of Lifestyle, visited our home to discuss our objectives for the project, and then met with us one week later at his office to discuss his proposal. Geoff was friendly, professional and knowledgeable in working with us. We especially liked his approach for providing middle-cost options and explaining where the variables were in his proposal. We never felt rushed in discussing options with Geoff, and he effectively took our vague ideas and created a clear plan that was consistent with our objectives. Everything promised in the "Big Deal" was delivered in a timely, professional manner. We are continuing to work with Geoff and Lifestyle to expand the proposal to our bathrooms and expect to move forward with the remodeling project with them.

Very professional. High quality. But I was a disappointed that their suggested design went well beyond the scope of what I asked for and didn't offer options that matched up with my requirements and, ultimately, my price range for the any remodel work. Also, the vendor never followed up with me following the presentation of the design to see if I was interested in proceeding with any of the work recommended. Months later, when I was ready to proceed, I used another vendor.

We had purchased a big deal for the service, and it was fine. I thought they did a really good job, everything seemed to make sense.

It went well. Lifestyle provided very detailed drawings of its proposal, including measurements, which were very helpful later. We did not, however, decide to use Lifestyle due to price. The experience, though, was positive and I appreciated their advice and recommendations.

The service went great. I haven’t finished with them but I was impressed with the selection that they have. They have all the things that I can go around and pick of what I want to put into my bathroom. It was a big deal purchase. I wasn’t expecting it to be so expensive.

Geoff was very nice but the $60 I paid for the design is what the other estimate providers provided for free. In addition, his proposal was about $8000-10,0000 more than the same work from the other providers.

This is our second remodeling job with the Lifestyle Group (LGI). LGI remodeled our master bathroom, and we were so pleased with their work, we asked them back for our kitchen remodel. LGI did a really nice job for us on the kitchen, too. Since they start from the ground up (they remove everything down to the wall studs), they are not limited by current applicance hook-ups or other limitations of the legacy room layout. LGI started with a complete redesign of the kitchen that moved our appliances to optimal positions for total kitchen utility. The remodel planning included drawings of the finished kitchen that left us really excited about our remodeling project. LGI uses only top-quality materials. Our cabinets, flooring and countertops are gorgeous. The cabinets included two huge lazy-Susans and soft-close drawers. The backsplash tile gets a lot of positive comments for its design and attractiveness. They also laid carpet for us and painted our living room and hallway. The carpet is some of the nicest-feeling carpet I have ever walked on. The Lifestye crew members were great. All of the LGI workers were friendly, quiet and respectful of our home. LGI has become our "go to" firm for home remodeling. We highly recommend them.

we had hoped to remodel our only full bath, but were intimidated by certain tasks specific to this area of the house and had no idea what to expect as far as cost goes. so when we saw the coupon offer on Angie's List for a proposal, for only $60, we grabbed it. being a visual person, i had hoped the proposal would include visuals that would help us to see what the finished project would look like. and though the proposal had some visual specs for the cabinetry, it really fell short of my expectations. however, in fairness to the company, this was a $60 proposal, not a $300-$400 proposal. also, i felt that there could have been other, perhaps more creative, alternative layouts for the cabinetry. though i am sure Geoff would have been only too glad to work with us on further modifying the plans. this was only a preliminary proposal, afterall. the bulk of the proposal was limited to a breakdown of what to expect as far as potential cost to complete the project. i found this very helpful. not being familiar with what is a reasonable cost for most areas of bathroom remodeling, i had no idea if the proposal was fair. i assumed it was, based on the company's excellent rating. also, our contact with the company office, and with Geoff, personally, was very positive and very professional. the one kaveat to that is that we are very familar and comfortable with drywalling. my father was a spackler. also, we had drywalled and spackled the entire second floor of a previous home. so, when we saw the estimate of approx. $1,800 to drywall a full bath measuring roughly 8' x 8' , we did question that. sometimes it's hard for DIY'ers to appreciate the added expense of having someone else take over the headache of planning and implementing one's wishes. unfortunately, the concern became moot as, in the end, a more immediate home improvement project loomed over us, which forced us to delay the bath remodel. to sum it up, our initial impression of Life Style Group is very positive. and when we are finally able to initiate the remodel, we will seriously consider hiring LSG as our contractor.

It was great. I didn't pay anything more than the deal and they helped me with my ideas.
