They do not work in our area and do not wish to be listed on Angie's list. This offer and listing caused both of us a lot of trouble. Now I keep getting these notices. I would give Angie's List a low rating if I could for this transaction.
Description of Work: See below.

I completely agree [Member Name Removed]. I've tried to clear this up with Angies list for years. To no avail. Angies list has caused me such grief by advertising me in the wrong territory. They don't care about their clients nor the contractors. For those of you in Pennsylvania. I don't service that area. I apologize for Angies list's error.

Ronda came to us through our general contractor. She assisted us in selecting our cabinets, counter tops, hardware and tile. She met with us multiple times at our house to work through the cabinet design. And we met with her multiple times at her studio and the tile shop to select our counter top and tile. Always ready to help, she is knowledgeable and has innate design ability. More than that, she can explain her design choices, yet is willing to discuss alternatives and work through the design process in a collaborative manner, bringing many ideas to the table – or kitchen, as it were. She listens to her clients and was able to translate our ideas into a comprehensive design. Throughout the process Ronda worked with our contractor and with us to make certain everything came together as planned. While there were a number of minor snafus, she was always there to make certain issues were resolved and to keep the job moving ahead. Cabinets and counter tops are a significant portion of the remolding cost. Cabinet manufactures are not all that interested in dealing directly with the customer. Rather, they work through their distributors. We purchased our cabinets through Ronda who has a strong working relationship with the manufactures she deals with and can easily work out issues. Thank you Ronda for a wonderful new kitchen!
Description of Work: Complete kitchen renovation. Remove wall opening kitchen to dining room. Replace dining room flooring.

Everything went great! Ronda has an excellent eye for design, listened to our ideas and needs, and provided her own ideas that we didn't even think of. She also took us granite and tile shopping. She created a few layouts for us to choose from, and she worked with us to figure out which one worked best for us. We used her contractor, Steve, and his crew, who did a great job as well. This was our first remodel, and we were a little nervous about it, but they let us know how they were doing the whole way through. The end result is gorgeous! We were so pleased with Ronda that we plan on using her again for a bathroom remodel!

The kitchen and great room came together very nicely. The colors in the fabric of the furniture and drapery, the granite, tile and flooring compliment each other beautifully. I'm just in awe whenever I step into the room.
Description of Work: Ronda helped design our new kitchen and great room, and provided samples of cabinetry and hardware. Went with us to choose granite and wall tile. She selected the tile pattern, and created the backsplash design behind the range top. Provided advice regarding our decision on colors for the hardwood flooring and paint. She accompanied us to stores and helped us choose the style, color and fabric for the dining room table and chairs, bar stools, area rug and sectional. Ronda also suggested the fabric and design of the drapery for the patio door and large window in our great room.

From the very start Ronda took the time to speak with us at great length on the phone and at our residence. It seamed to us like no matter how much time we needed she had that and more. Ronda took the time to get to know our taste and the things we liked and did not like and put together a presentation that blew us away. It was exactly what we wanted, as if she saw our vision even though we did not see it ourselves. Ronda gave us what we truly wanted not what other designers liked or had excess inventory of. She worked hard and with many late nights to make sure all contractors were lined up to complete the job on time. If fact 3 days ahead of schedule and ON BUDGET. I would and plan on using her services for our Kitchen, Laundry room and building an addition that will act as a mudroom. I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a professional home designer that understands efficiency, quality and a keep eye for price and design.
Description of Work: Ronda provided a complete vision in changing a room and storage closet into a large bedroom and on suite bathroom. Better by Design is more than a name or a slogan it is her way of creating exactly what her customer wants. This was a project that had to be completed in 7 weeks and Ronda ensured us it would be on time and on budget.

Description of Work: Provided a bathroom vanity. It went fine, but the height of the vanity was higher than I had wanted. This was my mistake though because the owner sent us detailed specs prior to placing the order, and I simply did not realize that there was more than one option for the height. She had an extensive selection, and we were able to find what we wanted at the right price. Communication was good. Delivery time was accurate.
