Lifestyle Group Residential Remodeling

Overall, it went smoothly. Each individual who worked was an expert in his area and demonstrated a top-notch work ethic. They were time-conscious, and conscientious about keeping the area clean as possible. Kiersten kept the schedule flowing, and when I needed time for something I was doing for this venture,(painting the front of the old vanity cabinet) it was allowed. Also, the carpenter "saved the day" by putting some beadbaord on the end of this vanity cabinet, covering up the cheesy contact paper type old finish, and tying it in with the walls. The finished bathroom is classy and magazine picture- worthy!

I really liked the young man who gave us the estimate, and they finished the worked on time. They did a good job.

I unfortunately could not locate my receipt of this purchase and let this expire. I did not contact them regarding this oversite of mine.

We got a nice set of plans from this experience but aren't sure at this point if /when we will move forward.

Geoff was very professional, and not pushy in any way. We would like to move forward with the plans, but funds have become more tight than anticipated. Geoff provided an excellent plan for our kitchen and two bathrooms using our existing structure.

Good experience with this company.

It went very well. I was very pleased with the service.

They were wonderful to work with, and they provided us with the full set of plans. However, we decided not to get to actual remodeling done for now in order to focus on exterior work on our home.

He did a good job with the design, and came up with a very well thought out design and explained why he did what he did and we were pleased with it. I would consider him again for the design!

Godd ideans but cost is too much.

They were really busy but worked us into their schedule to get the bathroom design done asap.

They came out and did a good job. We went to them as well and looked at their materials. They were great!

This was over a year ago. We purchased the big deal for a set of plans for our kitchen. We needed ideas. The owner came here, talked to us, and took measurements. Our house is 41 years old - never remodeled - and the kitchen needs to be gutted and started over from scratch, from flooring to removing a dropped ceiling. The appliances are on their last legs and the cabinets are not salvageable either. We were then invited to their showroom, where the plans were shown on a wall projector as well as on our hard copies. There were not only two different floor plans but also computer renditions of what our kitchen would look like done either way - that was great in helping us visualize what we liked or didn't like. The owner's sister is part of the design team and they both did an excellent job. They could show us all the options on the plans there - from cabinets to counter tops to flooring. The accompanying estimate was in great detail and even showed us the difference in cost between Formica vs granite or quartz. They also discussed which was more economical as far as tall ceiling-height cabinets vs a bulkhead with standard-height cabinets, something I was interested in and thought might be less costly - not necessarily true. We do not have sufficient estimates to say whether they were high-priced or not for the actual remodeling job, but having the plans is definitely helpful and we do not regret having spent the $50 - I think that's what it was. The presentation was impressive, and both people were most pleasant and easy to work with. They were prompt, knowledgeable, and professional. They gave us a lot to think about and we still have not have proceeded with this project strictly for personal reasons. It is still on our calendar and it will be hard to choose who to go with for this job.

Provided kitchen remodeling design as per Angie's list deal. We visited design center to discuss some ideas. We have not decided to start with remodeling project but we will definitely consider them when we decide to remodel.

Poorly. The ideas were uninspired and seemed fairly slap-dash to me. I believe our job was considerably smaller than the ones they normally do (based on the pictures in their showroom). I was disappointed in the service we received.

I didn't write sooner because I was not completely happy with this process and thought I needed time to pass before passing judgment. They did a great job. I think I overpaid. My fault. I didn't get more estimates. Some interruption and tardiness is completing the job. Some misunderstanding in what was to be done. They did a nice job helping me make design decisions. I'm overhall happy with the finished product. Would be all meansget an estimate from them for future work. But I would get more than one estimate before proceeding.

The representative came to our house to talk to us about the project. He listened to our needs and took measurements. About a week later we then went to their showroom and they reviewed the plans they came up with. They were able to show us cabinet samples, floor coverings, and counter-top samples. We were not planning to do any work, we just wanted to get professional design advice. We were happy we did.

Everything went so smoothly. Geoff handles the sales end, and Kiersten did the design and GC work. We appreciated the big screen in their office where Kiersten could show us the design and make changes during our meeting. They were very organized with paperwork, and the best part was the online program for tracking the project. This is where we communicated, which created a nice log, instead of searching through emails, etc. We've always heard horror stories about big renovation projects, but ours went so smoothly. The Lifestyle Group finished the project on time and on-budget, and they were a pleasure to work with. Most of all, we absolutely LOVE our new kitchen space.

They were great to work with. Extremely responsive and professional, great ideas and execution of what we told them we wanted out of the remodeled space. The estimate they gave us for their design plan was very competitive, and we would have had no hesitation hiring them to do the work if we had decided to move forward with the remodel. We ended up deciding to move, but we plan to have Lifestyle out to our new house to give us an estimate for remodeling work we plan to do at the new place.

Not well. came and measured our bathroom and told me he would get back to me. I called to follow up and said he would get back to me. I have never heard from them again. It has been 3 months. Plenty of time to respond.

The design phase of the kitchen remodeling went very well. Problems with the existing kitchen and our desires for changes were thoroughly discussed with us. We were most pleased with the design that was presented to us in that it addressed all of the problems and changes that we had discussed within a complete redesign that was very satisfying to us. (We have received without solicitation many spontaneous complements on the remodeled kitchen by all who have seen it.) There were no problems with the "tear out" phase. Every effort was made to minimize any negative features that are inherent in this phase. The work was done both efficiently and quickly. Staff from the Lifestyle Group completed their work very satisfactorily. All of the work of the Lifestyle Group Staff was done to the extent possible within the schedule developed for the project. The schedule and any revisions were available to us at all times through a website set up specifically for this project (through Basecamp). The quality of the work met our standards which are very high. The only problems which we had through the entire project were with the electrical work. Sadly, there were multiple problems in the electrical work which resulted in substantial inconvenience both as the project was being completed and as we began to use the newly-remodeled kitchen. The only positive dimension to these electrical problems was the responsiveness of the Lifestyle Group as these problems were brought to their attention. Apart from the electrical work, all of the subcontracted work was completed consistently with both the standards of the Lifestyle Group and our standards.

This service provider visited the house and spent about 90 minutes with my wife and I discussing remodeling ideas. We then met him at his office to review the designs. The designs were very detailed and professionally done. They also reflected our remodeling desires. He also gave us a detailed estimate for the work to be completed. He was very professional and there was no pressure to purchase the kitchen remodeling work from him. I would definitely recommend this service provider for the development of kitchen remodeling plans.

Lifestyle Group set up a web page dedicated to our project where all work tasks were listed and checked off when completed. We could ask questions, upload photos of problems or progress, and generally keep in close communications with Lifestyle group. If we submitted a question, it was usually answered promptly within 24 hrs. Sometimes, Kiersten would answer questions at very late hours of the night. (I think she never sleeps!) A dumpster arrived on time and the project was underway as scheduled. We were a bit faster with demolition than had been predicted so Lifestyle Group was able to move their parts of the project up so as not to cause any unnecessary delay. As with any remodel or build, there were a few problems. One can light was inadvertently omitted and two island pendant lights were mislocated, but these errors were promptly corrected. A few cabinet doors and the island countertop arrived damaged, but these were replaced without question. David was very good as a cabinet installer and trim carpenter, and he paid particularly close attention to detail. Kiersten and Geoff are also very detail-oriented. Lights were spaced and centered carefully, and work space was examined closely. We requested some additional last minute drywall work which required Sam (the drywaller) and Lifestyle to make adjustments to their original schedules - again without complaint or question. We appreciated Lifestyle's willingness to work with us as we were determined to stay within our allowed budget for this project. Overall, we had an outstanding experience remodeling with Lifestyle Group. We are very happy with the total process and certainly proud of the end result. We have already recommended Lifestyle Group to some friends and acquaintances.

Demolition went smoothly with minimum mess. Everything was done well until the re-install of plumbing. Toilet seal was defective resulting in water damage in the kitchen on the first floor. Then there was a problem with new grout changing colors. At that time there was a bit of communication breakdown and we didn't hear from them for about 2 weeks. They fixed the damage in the kitchen when they installed the shower panel. In order to remove the defective new grout, they had to use a special saw. Unfortunitely, at that time no protection was given to the new vanity, medicine cabinet, and our attached bedroom. Since no plastic seal was used, the tremendous amount of dust from the saw got into the vanity, medicine cabinet and furniture including drawers in our bedroom. We told the workman that we had just replaced the toilet seat, bedroom drapes, bedspread, and had shampooed the carpet in our bedroom. When job was completed, we had to clean the drapes, bedspread, and shampooed the carpet again. The toilet seat was scratched at sometime during the shower panel installation; therefore, we are replacing that again. With all of this said, management of Lifestyle Group consistently demonstrated a sincere pride and concern in delivering the highest quality of work. We were never concerned that they would not fix the problems that occurred. This project started the end of April and was completed mid-June. We are planning to use Lifestyle Group again for two other projects - the kitchen and the family room. Lifestyle Group utilizes an interactive website for all communications between the customer and main office once a contract has been signed. This minimizes misunderstandings that might occur with telephone calls and exchanged voice-mail messages. This tool also protects the contractor AND the consumer from project scope-creep and surprises of additional costs at project-end.

Lifestyle Group renovated our kitchen in 2011. Due to their excellent service, we contacted them in January 2012 to look at our master bath and make renovation recommendations. Again Kiersten Morton designed the perfect "aging in place" bathroom. This continues to be an exceptional company to work with. Their designs, quality of craftsmanship, products used, timeliness and customer service by all employees cannot be matched or exceeded by any other company in the Indianapolis area. They began in late February and finished mid April 2012 . Completion was a bit beyond projected end date due to fine tuning the drain and bathroom mirror and lighting - to meet their quality control standards.
