After his hour and a half spiel and after it came down to the end, I said I needed to get a price. He gave me a price without a broken down estimate with details. I asked him for a written estimate and he said it would be $1000 and non refundable. I told him he needed to go then. For some reason, my request went through the system and he contacted me again asking why I reached out again. I told him I would never ask for him to come out again and we went on our ways.

We are about 85% through the project and all of the work Bruce has done is top notch. He is very knowledgeable and talented.Even though the kitchen is not done, we have received many compliments about the design and cabinets. Our project is moving slowly due to weather and other circumstances. We are able to use all appliances and sink in the kitchen while we are on hold.

Unexpected delays; job is not complete yet. No Problems. After old cabinet and wall removal, we had an inspection and got a surprise. The inspector requested we remove all drywall from ceilings in 2 rooms, kitchen and adjoining room (not in the Plan!). Bruce was patient explaining what was next, why the extra work and cost had to be, and the impact it would have on his timeline. He was very fair and made us feel confident about the project, though the whole ordeal was a stressful thing to deal with. All of this has set our finish date back. Which gives me the chance to do another review. I intend to post a before and after photo if allowed. Bruce has given us fair pricing and is thorough in answering all of our questions. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and methodical. He's always patient, even with all of our change orders! I definitely want to hire him for other custom projects down the road. Photos included are original kitchen and pass-through that was removed. Tear out was ugly, so here's an up- to-date pic from today.

We ended up paying much more than the price ($9999,99) in the promotion in the Angie's list. They sent me change orders and invoices for additional price without our consent. It took more than 6 months to finish the project. We are not satisfied with the finish. It was incomplete and rough. They tried to charge us a transportation fee. The kitchen sink was broken within a year after completion. We no longer trust Angie's list because of this incident.

The communication, the quality of work, and completion date was everything I expected. I was happy with his color schemes, earth tones for master bath, and light grey/charcoal tones for the hall bath. These baths are nicer than one ones I use at my residence in Detroit area!

It went great, Bruce and his crew are very quality conscience, and have high standards with attention to detail. I am very satisfied with their work! Please note photos, old and new. The beige cabinets and entire color scheme turned out great.

Bruce is very methodical and all went very well.

Bruce arrived to start the job on time and is quite methodical, with everything going in the right order. He has the tools to do ANYTHING and completely filled our 2 car garage with tools, materials, cabinets, etc. Since everything was replaced, he had to use skills on so many levels, including dry wall, insulation, flooring, electrical, plumbing, granite work, painting, heating, etc. I think he truly excels at molding/trim work and the cabinet installing. Perfection. An example of true attention to detail: Since they had to cut into our floor joists (beneath the bathroom) to accommodate new drain systems, Bruce took it upon himself to find a local metal fabricator to create steel U-shaped supports so that our floor remained as strong as before. Some people would have left that out.... He wanted things to be correct and often asked for our approval...making any changes we requested along the way. He is approachable. He had a great, professional introduction the first day we met and proposed a budget. Why we did not give Bruce all A's---and if there is any down side---it would be a rather severe minimizing of the total amount of time needed for the project. As a builder, he is hard to fault in that we did stick to our agreed budget and if he was working for weeks beyond the planned completion time...well, it was not costing us any more. I believe Bruce to be a very honest person and understand that any building project has delays. Toward the end, as another project became reality, I believe Bruce lost some focus here. That said, we are happy with our finished bathroom and make a positive recommendation. Your Designs LLC can be trusted. ((I am having trouble porting over pictures...sorry...if I can add them later, I will. For now, I can say I think it looks just as we planned...and this company delivered!))

Overall, the project went fine. The main concern was that the project went from May to November 2017. While the work was very well done, interruptions in the work were too frequent. Bruce is an old-school craftsman who does incredible work. He is able to produce materials that cannot be obtained otherwise. There are a few follow-up matters that need to be addressed. Our project involved removing a wall between the kitchen and a sitting room and a total tear-down from ceiling to floor. The overall result is very nice. Be sure to have a clear understanding about changes and what they may cost. Get a clear understanding about your timeline to completion. I may revisit this review when some of the remaining issues are addressed. KH

It is beautiful! It took approximately 6 months to complete. My garage, dinning room, basement were continually in turmoil for 6 months. The end result is beautiful, but 6 months is too long.

Bruce is a very informative person. He tells you about every detail in the design of your kitchen.

We started the agreement in April. The timeline has gone on way to long. The work itself, he was cutting material inside the house when it was raining. I didn't approve that. He scratched the floor. I have a bunch of work that is not finished. The other thing is, when one of the items he said that he was going to deliver, he would charge me the difference without getting my approval. He ordered the wrong cabinets which was a $2600.00 difference from the ones I chose. He should have paid for his mistake. When the money discussions started, he would add charges that were part of a job. He was just making charges up on the fly. He told me things were included and then later charged me for them to make up for the $2600.00 mistake that he had mad with the cabinets. There is a lot of mistakes throughout the house. Once he walked off the job he said he was going to pay the subcontractor once he gets a review on AL. I told him I couldn't give him a review with unfinished work. He has been very diligent about getting the review. We have had problems the whole time and I am not sure why he would think that he was going to get a good review. Now the subcontractor wants to put a lien on my house to get payment for their work. In my opinion, the general contractor should assume responsibility for the subcontractors.

Bruce was a consummate professional and we will use his services as soon as our equity loan is processed. He has our specs and we are anxious to proceed.

The work product was excellent. Took too long to complete.

I love my kitchen and the rest of my house he worked on! This was the house my husband grew up in so we wanted to make it our own. Everything Bruce does is done with perfection. He put in a new kitchen in the home we raised our family 10 - 15 years ago and I was very pleased so we contacted him for our current house and the kitchen and the entire downstairs turned our exactly as I wanted. It is beautiful and get so many compliments.

Bruce showed us his portfolio on our initial meeting and we were very impressed. He explained the work to be performed and we signed the contract. During his teardown of the bathroom and wall he found floor joists that were in need of repair. He also noticed that the ceilings should be done to match and that the electrical needed to be brought up to code. He send us an estimate and we agreed to the new work. The additional work was completed on time and we were impressed.

Bruce was always on time, coordinating and communicating his schedule through phone calls, emails and text messages. He spent a lot of time installing cabinet doors, veneer, trim, hardware and drawers for a professional looking job. I had no problem allowing the Contractor into my home, even if I had to be away running errands. YOUR DESIGNS LLC went overboard on this project, including lining all my cabinets and I would not hesitate recommending them on any kitchen/bath remake. I also would not hesitate to show off my cabinets to other prospective customers.

Bruce was professional & efficient. He was the only person I found in a 100 mile radius that could repair Brady Built Solariums. Excellent work. An expensive repair.

Bruce performed all design work. Responded well to changes. Was there when he said he woulld be. Excellent work

Bruce our GC was on time and very clean meticulous and gave me excellent design ideas since I am not very creative. we loved our kitchen and ten years later we still love it.
