I had worked with PTI Designs and Tracie Johnson in 2007, when I paid her more than $40,000 for various projects for my Lake Norman home. At that time, I was very happy with her -- she was highly professional, very creative and delivered value for her $150 per hour design fee. I had a much different experience in late 2013 when I hired Tracie to help me get bedding and towels for my new mountain house. She was very disorganized and never seemed to have time to address my needs (other projects, family priorities, etc.). She showed me a line of bedding that I really liked. It turned out that the bedding was discontinued, but she said she could still get it. I called, emailed and texted her numerous times to see if she could help me place the order, and she never responded. It was like I was dealing with an entirely different person than the person I had worked with in 2007. Her hourly design fee is much lower now, but her services do not come close to justifying her lower fee. I would have rather she had just said that she didn't have time for my project. And the fact that she didn't bother to respond to my calls, emails and texts is inexcusable.
Description of Work: PTI Designs (Tracie Johnson) helped me select some bedding and towels for my home.

When this past client called-she expected me to fit an appt into my schedule at the last min which I was able to work her in, we looked online at some options and when I called the manuf they stated it was recently discontinued but they thought they might have inventory, come to find out the inventory was not the correct sizing. I did email the client and left messages but she was upset that we would have to reselect. I certainly enjoyed working with this client in the past and tried my best to accommodate but she was clearly upset that the bedding was not avail and was not willing to wait for me to present additional options.

Tile ordered for our home through this company. not all items paid for were delivered; insufficient amounts ordered for several rooms. Most frustrating and disappointing was the lack of customer service to remedy the situation. Designer is blaming us for mistakes despite her order form and her tiles sketches being different. Cost to Value ratio is completely upside down with this provider.
Description of Work: Hired company to design bathrooms and order tile for.

We have been in business for 10 years and this is our very FIRST complaint and it is not because we did not deliver, unfortunately one item on the list valuing at apx 500.00 was discontinued which we found out from our supplier at the time they pulled the order for delivery, The client had an OUTSTANDING-OVERDUE balance which they were slow to pay so instead of issuing a refund we applied the credit toward their outstanding OVERDUE balance-the client still today owes an additional outstanding balance for design services. Personal Touch Interiors worked with this client for over 6 months from conception stage and she continueously changed her mind on the direction she wanted to go with design and was continueously LATE on paying DUE INVOICES-we have been very responsive and patiient in working with this client including offering FREE DRAWINGS to them to have onsite and even as a GIFT for their anniversay we provided a PRESENTATION PACKAGE AT NO CHARGE WHEN THE HUSBAND WAS TRYING TO THINK OF WHAT TO GIVE HIS WIFE FOR THEIR ANNIVERSARY-not alot of companies offer that kind of service. We have clearly gone above and beyond to work with this client-even when she contacted our wholesale provided-screaming because she wanted them to provide additional tile at no charge. We are more than happy provide a long list of very satisfied clients that would withoust hesitation offer us an A+ RATING, including some that have continued to use our firm over and over again. Please feel free to contact us for any further details. Thank you and have a wonderful day!
