Gary has a great eye for detail and had wonderful ideas and suggestions for our home. We would not hesitate to recommend him as he is very caring and just seems to want us to be happy with the end result.

This is the second, and much more extensive, project Gary has done for us. Sadly, it is the last because there are no other projects to do. Like the first project, communication with Gary was excellent. He listened to our concerns and ideas. The suggestions he made were "right on" and saved me from making expensive mistakes. He chose paint colors for the kitchen and pantry, as well as suggesting updated colors for accent walls in the living and dining spaces. (The kitchen, dining, and living rooms are one, large space.) He also figured out kitchen and pantry lighting, and helped with the selection of accessories. Also, there were multiple fixes to the house that were needed, which expanded the scope, and the cost, of the project. The end result is that our house is a much more pleasant and livable space, as well as being greatly updated. He helped us turn this house into a home and we are delighted with the results. The subcontractors he uses are excellent: Scott is a genius who can do most handyman items and Cathy of Detail Painting is superior. A guest to our house, who has seen both "before and after" of our house, remarked that the paint job is one of the best he'd ever seen and he's seen a lot as he's been responsible for the remodeling/refurbishing of a large casino in LVNV. As important as what Gary did, is what he DIDN'T do: he did not push me into buying things I either didn't want or didn't like. He installed pendant lights that when lit, I found the color unsatisfactory. In no way was he offended when I told him that I didn't care for them. He helped me replace them with something I did like. I asked him to review two pieces of art which he did willingly and encouraged me to purchase both. The other accessories he purchased were reasonable and he made clear that if I didn't like them, they were returnable. I never was uncomfortable expressing an opinion that might differ from his thoughts. Gary Adams is an extremely talented designer as well as a very kind and nice person. He's great fun to work with and we highly recommend him. We will miss him and wish there further projects for him to do!

Gary is a very personable designer who is full of good ideas and easy to communicate with. He was very helpful in the selection of and placement of furniture. We were quite unsure of fabrics and colors of upholstered pieces and having everything work well together but he was very reassuring and came through with great choices. The same goes for help with granite slabs, flooring and tile work. We replaced much of the lighting in the house and he was excellent at helping us choose replacement pieces that are really stunning. Gary has a contractor, Scott who works closely with him on most or all projects. Scott is very diverse and excellent at handling any problem or project. Many of the professionals who worked on our house were brought in by Gary and they work on most of his projects. During the work at our house Gary was here most of the time that work was being done to supervise the job. This is excellent especially for those who can't be on site during the work. You can feel assured that everything is getting done correctly. Gary had many suggestions that we had not thought of and design ideas that worked better than what we had planned. Gary is a very easy going guy with the best sense of humor. He is a pleasure to work with and I think most of his clients would say the same. We don't foresee any projects now for quite a while BUT, if/when something comes up we wouldn't hesitate contacting him.

Gary is GREAT!. His sense of color and our lifestyles and has outstanding resources to draw from. He's done a number of celebrity's homes and is in great demand We love him!

From the moment we met with Gary, we clicked! He seemed to know what we wanted from day 1, and it was a seamless experience. It was important to him that the vision of our company was reflected in the environment and rehearsal space. The best word I can use to describe Gary and his team is BRILLIANT! I would highly recommend Gary Adams Interiors to anyone and would hire him again.

I was very pleased with the help and direction that Gary provided, helped me to get on the right course.

EXCELLENT! I called Gary after searching Angie's List for someone to help with color coordination for my kitchen. We scheduled an appointment within two days of the original day that we talked. He arrived at my house promptly at the designated time we agreed on. He spent some time visiting with me, then we settled in the kitchen area. He reviewed some of the choices I made and then suggested we meet at the granite and tile companies. He helped me make a selection for my granite countertops and from there we went to the tile company where he helped me with my tile and backsplash selection. He was very knowledgable and professional with all of his suggestions. I never felt rushed or in the slightest bit pushed in anyone direction. He was great with colors and material suggestions. This guy is a fabulous consultant (and I have to add that he is FUN too). I would definitely recommend his company to anyone looking for this type of service. His pricing is very fair.

In a word, things went GREAT. Stripping away the fluff and puff, any construction, including remodeling, can be distilled down to two questions: 1. Do the results meet or exceed your expectations, and, 2. was the work performed as agreed, i.e., on time and on budget? Our experience with Gary is a resounding yes to both questions. What Gary produced well exceeded our expectations, and we are not easily pleased. The work was completed on time. The house was move-in ready in c. 3.5 months, including a week off, when Gary went on a vacation he made us aware of well in advance. There were no cost surprises; signed contracts / bids were honored. With any larger project, if one is paying attention, ideas and opportunities reveal themselves once the work is underway. Our project was no exception. We made several changes and additions during construction. These were costed/bid and integrated seamlessly into the ongoing work. There were no 'gotcha, that's a big deal so we need to recost the whole project and do a change order' moments. Although we made a few trips to Las Vegas during the work to see for ourselves how things were progressing, and to work with Gary selecting items and materials, we were out of state during most of the work. Gary kept us fully apprised of the progress, regularly calling us, sending emails and photos of the work. Phone calls or emails from us were usually taken immediately or returned the same day. As the owners' representative, Gary took his role seriously and accepted full responsibility for keeping the project on track. When materials were 'delayed' he got them delivered. When a contractor failed to show up one day as scheduled, Gary called them and told them they would either be there the next day and catch-up or he would find someone who would - they were there the next day. Gary was extremely effective in dealing with contractors and vendors, walking the narrow line between getting them to willingly do what needed to be done and when, and being in constant conflict, which usually degenerates into delays and less than quality work. While our remodel was not inexpensive, we got what we paid for and more - the value was there. We can unreservedly recommend Gary and his "concierge" business model to anyone needing design services or contemplating remodeling who is looking for some one who is genuinely interested in seeing you get what YOU want, and has the ability to get it done.

It saddens me to write this review of Gary mainly because of how optimistic I was at the start of our relationship. I hired Gary in early September and while he said he had a full plate for that month, he promised he?d be available in October and was ready and willing to offer his services. This timeline seemed fine as we were undergoing an extensive 6 figure renovation that was expected to last several months so we wouldn?t require his design services for a while. Excited by our initial meeting and telephone conversation and the fabulous reviews he had on this site, I sent in my payment, which he was quick to request and accept. In early October I contacted Gary to schedule some time in the coming weeks to work on staging, furnishing, paint selection, and overall decorating. Many phone calls and emails went unanswered. Eventually he?d get back to me, but it usually took at least a week if not more, and then he'd disappear shortly after. This went on for months. In early November after waiting a week with no response to my emails, phone calls and texts, my husband suggested that I contact Gary and send him a courteous but straightforward email terminating his services and requesting the balance of the monies paid. Gary quickly responded, apologizing for the delay (blaming a friend?s illness, which didn?t explain his failure to at least send a quick email to ask for my patience, but I digress) and requesting a second chance. He promised that a major project was just wrapping up and that he could devote all of his time to finishing ours. I was hopeful, but in the end it turned out to be more of the same?failure to respond to emails, constant excuses (he was sick, his friends were sick, he was too busy, he was out of town, it was the holidays, etc. etc.), and an overall refusal to assist me. Most recently I emailed him 2 weeks ago to request assistance with some lighting I?d like to purchase, but once again no response, even though he guaranteed he?d be available throughout December and around the holidays to offer his assistance since he?d been unavailable in the months prior. Never once throughout this process has Gary actually offered assistance with our design. We?ve asked his opinions on furniture layout and style but he has never given us feedback, always saying he?ll ?think about it and get back to me.? He did send me a list of websites for furniture and accessories, but rather than recommending things that would work in our home, he told me to just pick out what I like. I hired Gary to help with the look and design of our home, not send me links for me to figure it out. If I could do it on my own I wouldn?t need him. He claimed this was his specialty?furnishing, accessorizing, paint suggestions?but if it was, I never saw evidence of it as he did nothing besides taking 30 minutes to walk through my 4000 square foot home and quickly and without forethought suggest paint colors. I?ve paid a considerable amount of money to Gary and he?s spent maybe 5 hours working on our design, max. He won?t return calls, he won?t return emails, he won?t respond to questions, he just isn?t accessible or responsive. I feel like I have been very easy going and forgiving, perhaps so much so that Gary feels he has higher priorities he can attend to, but at some point you have to say enough is enough. I am in the process of hiring new designers, all of whom seem much more responsive and eager than Gary. These designers are going to help me with the complete remodel of a room in our house that was severely damaged by a pipe burst?a job I had originally planned to ask Gary to assist with but for obvious reasons have since decided against. I hate to be the lone dissenter here, though I suspect I am not alone in my dissatisfaction. Although I?m surprised at the glowing reviews here based on how he handled our design work, apparently there are people satisfied with his results. I can?t understand how he can be so responsive to some and ignore others. We had budgeted quite a bit of money to spend with Gary on the design but he lost out on the opportunity. My husband was co-owner of a very large and successful local company that he sold in May. If he treated his clients the way Gary has treated us he would never have been as successful as he was. I hope Gary recognizes that he needs to treat clients better if he wants his business to prosper. I hope this is an isolated incident, but I can?t help but think Gary ignores many of his clients he deems to be smaller and focuses his attention and effort on the big ones. I am highly dissatisfied with his services and would never recommend him to anyone.

My wife and I contacted Gary to come out to discuss color schemes as well as to discuss some ideas we had about remodelling the house. Since we already had a handyman recommended to us (Jeremy) and had a whole year in which to do the work, we decided to go with Jeremy to do the intial tearout even though Gary recommended his services as well as the services of his handyman "Scotty". While the tearout was going on we we consulted with Gary on Cabinets (Cory from Stellar Woodwerks was Fantastic) and Doors from HyBar Windows and Doors. (Replaced two 8x'8' windows with a 16' slider, replaced two windows with 6' French doors as well as did a header beam for the 16' door) In January 2013, I started making trips from Seattle to Las Vegas to check on the house to see how it was coming along as well to deliver new instructions and changes to Jeremy. During this time I also kept in touch with Gary. By April 2013 I was starting to have questions about Jeremy's capabilities as well as seeing things not getting done. There was a hole in the floor where plumbing still need to be relocated (Two months), a header beam not completed in the living room, a water line for the refrigerator not done as well as the gas line and electrical not relocated. Being that Jeremy was a very nice guy I was giving him the benefit of dought about things not getting done. During this time frame Gary was working with Cory for getting cabinet designs in place as well as working quotes for the doors. At times Gary would question me about Jeremy and continued to offer his and Scotty's services. In May 2013 after finding very little work done since my last trip down we confronted Jeremy that things were not gettng done and he needed to step up the pace and get back on track. Sensing that we were about to pull the rug out from under him, Jeremy convinced us he was very close and to give him 3-4 weeks more and he would be done. During the next few weeks and not getting any status or pictures from Jeremy as promissed (He indicated his carmera on his phone was broken) I contacted Gary and asked him to start doing site checks and send us some pictures. I also had scheduled some other contractors to go out to the house to bid on some work only to find Jeremy was not around. (Gary also experience this) Gary immediately contacted us and indicated that things were not being done the way he would do things and that we probably needed to take some action. Gary started sending us pictures of the site which showed a lack of progress as well as a house that was no where near move-in ready. I assured Gary that we would be down in August to check on the site and sincec we still had time. One of the big issues with me was the garbage that was starting to stack up. Although I had mentioned to Jeremy he needed to take care of the issue, nothing changed, Because I could not stand it any longer I contacted Gary who set up for a tub to be delivered and the garbage to be hauled away. During this same time frame I had friends of ours who stopped in to check on progress only to inform me that they were picking up trash in the yard that the contractor seemed to not care about. it was at this time that I started to get very concerned about the lack of progress, the lack of attention to our instructions, the impact being placed on the neighbors, as well as potentially delaying our scheduled move in. In August 2013 my wife and I flew down to Las Vegas hoping to look at an almost finished house only to walk into a mess and no where near being able to install cabinets or other finishing touches. We both agreed at that time it was time to let Jeremy go and to call in Gary. I called up Gary on a Thursday night to wave the white flag and asked what he could do for us to get us back on track to be able to move into the house in September. Gary indicated to us that he would put the ball in motion and the next morning had his handyman, electrician, fllor carpet andd tile installer, the granite counter top installer, the house painter (Cathy for Interior/Exterior), the exterior texturing guy, you name it they were there. During the next 3-4 weeks Gary got things back on track - Things such as the cabinets, cabinet lights, flooring, texturing, painting, plumbing, electrial both inside and out, etc. all started to get done. We purchased new lights for both interior/exterior locations as well as new Fans for the living and dining areas. Gary also talked us into installing crown and base molding in the kitchen, living, and dining room areas as well as a beautiful fireplace that hangs on the wall and is totally lit up by lights. Although I question the costs and value of the extras it was worth every penny we spent. During this time Scotty found shortcuts in electrical connections, compromised roof beams that were cut by Jeremy to make room for lights but not braced up, shoddy sheetrock and texturing, all which had to be fixed. Over the past year there have been days that we wished we had not purchased the house and made the changes we did without being onsite to manage them. As Gary always says, you get what you pay for. As my wife and I look back, we could not have lived in the house making the changes we did and appreciate that we had someone like Gary to come in and bail us out the way he did. Prior to our move in, Gary had the whole interior and all windows cleaned to make the house Move-In ready. I would not hesitate to hire Gary and Scotty again. My only wish would be that they were not as good as they are (Too many people want their service) so they could come back and finish up some pickup items we want done.

How'd it go? In a word of summary: Fantastic! We couldn't be more pleased. The catwalk was made into a hallway with a door on either side leading into TWO NEW ROOMS! A new large guestroom, and a new home office on the other side. It allowed us to move the home office out of an existing bedroom/guestroom and utilize this new room he had helped us create with his GC as the office it more resembled. We love this new home office and his general contractor that he'd suggested was as helpful and personable as Gary himself! But of all the work he arranged, our favorite, second only to all the new space, is the Murphy Bed he arranged to be installed in the old home office space. This bed pulls right out of the wall and we're amazed at all the space it saves and utterly delighted with the look and upscale feel it gave to this once small space. Though it wasn't part of our original plan, we actually repainted the entire interior of the house when Gary came up with a paint color we'd never dreamed could so dramatically change the look and feel of our home for the better; its a taupe that seems to change colors throughout the day and has added a warmth to the house we'd never envisioned. We met a number of people in working with Gary, and from his general contractors to the gal that came with him one day to show tile samples (though we decided not to re-tile), everyone was friendly, professional and a pleasure to do business with. Would we use Gary again? He's already agreed to help us with a redesign of our Utah home sometime next year - so yes!

Gary has great abilities in his field & is very helpful. He has a true designers eye & can take care of business. Gary always goes above & beyond and makes sure you really get what you need & want. I appreciate his personal care & concern and will always do business with him in the future. Thanks Gary!

Gary is a concierge designer, which means he helps with everything! We did a complete house remodel and were so glad we found him. Our house was built in the 60's so there were ALOT of issues with plumbing and electrical. The trade people that were used found things like exposed wires, electrical outlets that were live that shouldn't be. They fixed all those issues, which gave me peace of mind. Gary helped me pick out flooring, cabinets, carpet, paint, granite, tile, tub, toilets, plubing fixtures, stove, dishwasher and many more things. He also made sure that the trade people did their work on time and he was the liaison with me if there were any issues. He set up a day for the trade people to come over and give estimates for how much everything would cost, then I picked who I wanted to use for the contruction. The trade people gave me all their receipts and I paid them directly. We did the whole house remodel, which included installing new sewer lines (b/c we are on septic), installing new A/C and ductwork, tearing down walls and moving doors around in only 3 1/2 months. Gary is very responsive...including responding to my text messages after hours. He returns all calls promptly and shows up when he says he is going to show up. I must have gone through 10 different paint colors before we found the right one, and everyday he would go to the paint shop and get samples to put on the walls of each room, so I could pick the one that I liked the most. I LOVE the paint color we picked out. He also scoured the city for the perfect stone for the two fireplaces we redid. Not only did he find the perfect stone...he found it on CLEARANCE. I did not include the cost of the service, b/c that is personal information, but it was worth every penny knowing that you are getting the job done right, and that it will look fabulous when it's done! I am so glad that I had Gary to help design and create a beautiful home for us. We still use him for ongoing projects.

What can we say about Gary? He is THE BEST!!! Not only is he the most professional and talented designer we have ever worked with, but he keeps the contractors on track and on time, which is key to finishing on a deadline!! He works WITH you every step of the way. We highly recommend Gary for any design project, big or small!

I can only hope that others find Gary and take advantage of his wonderful concierge service.

Gary came down to look at my home to tell me what I should do to get my home rent ready. Best of all he did it for FREE! Yes, no charge! He made some recommendations as to what areas needed touchup paint and that the wood floor and carpet needed cleaning. He noticed at everything else was in good shape and suggested I do not do any further work. He has a large network of professionals that he's happy to refer you to. Anytime I have a question, I go to him first, and he happily responds quickly through email. What a resource!

It went great. I plan to engage Gary if I have a need again.

The whole experience was absolutely fabulous. When we moved into our home, it was out dated and a large property so we had no idea where to start. Gary was referred by a friend and was amazing the entire time. He helped us decide on color themes for the house and showed us how it would look. He also helped us choose carpet and furniture to complement the colors. He chose fabrics for curtains and got them made for us. He recommended people to buff our floors, fix our tiles, clean our pool. You name it, it got done. I didn't want to move in the house and then wait years for it to be comfortable and presentable. Gary made everything happen fast and yet exactly to our liking. He is kind and compassionate and patient and willing to work with various client types (We recommended him to our friends who have very different tastes from us and they loved him too!). If you need any interior design or anything else to help your house become a beautiful home, I highly recommend the services of Gary Adamski Interiors.

Our experience was excellent. We chose Gary because of superlative reviews on Angie's List. He responded promptly to my initial call to him for an appointment. He was punctual for this appointment; direct about his fee schedule, and up front about his own time constraints at this time. We presented the scope and time frame of our small project and made him aware that our budget for this project was small. I also had questions about other areas in my house that needed attention and we had several small but necessary home repair jobs to be accomplished. We are new to the Las Vegas area; this is a winter home for us and consequently, we have no knowledge of reliable tradesmen upon whom to call. Though this was a very small project, his attention to the process and outcome couldn't have been better. He had excellent suggestions, kept within my budget, was on time and I am extremely pleased with the results. The room is better than I imagined it could be and it was done on time! We are beyond delighted with his work! All of the other small projects were professionally completed. He oversaw this work. I felt his charges were very reasonable....he did not try to push me into purchasing items that exceeded my budget and the things he did suggest were "spot on." Besides Gary's obvious talent for design, I was particulary pleased with the ease and promptness of communication. He was attentive to my questions and unfailingly prompt in responding. He's also practical and pragmatic which I love! I had a couple of problem areas that Ithought would requre additional purchases to which I was not opposed; instead, he looked around my house and used things I already possess! Genius! Gary is a delight to work with.....we have a pantry project for next year and we're looking forward to working with Gary again.

Gary was such a joy to work with. Completely professional, friendly and takes great care with his clients. The complete one on one attention we received, his availability and finding the materials that suited our style was phenomenal. He is a very hard worker and kept us abreast of everything throughout the project. From our first appointment with Gary, we walked through and evaluated the entire project. The part we appreciated most about Gary is his ability to describe in detail how things could be changed and improved. This particular talent of his is very important when creating solutions to improving our home. We have remodeled and upgraded other homes and some experiences were not so pleasant. My husband is very meticulous about things so working with Gary made it less stressful, of which we are very grateful. Gary specifically gave us the best experience ever. He was a delight! We highly recommend Gary Adams Interiors.

The project came in on budget and in less time than anticipated. His plan was well thought out and executed without any problems. What started out as a kitchen remodel grew to include improvements in other area of our home such as the master bath, laundry room and minor electrical work throughout.

We met Gary on a plane, he was sitting next to us. He was engaging and kind. We called him when we returned and had him come over to our home. We began a business relationship right away and now have a friendship also. He is creative but has a sensitivity to budget and your opinion. His pricing and connections are awesome!! We love what he has helped us do with our home and will continue to use him and cherish our friendship... Orel and Dana Hershiser

How did it go? It went SUPER! We recently purchased a 12 year old home in Siena with 12 year old paint and 12 year old floors and 12 year old everything else. We have always enjoyed a fresh and colorful and non-serious style of decorating, and Gary saw and heard what we enjoy, and guided us to make our new home one that we enjoy calling "our home." Charges were also quite reasonable. And, Gary has always been right there when we thought we needed him. We will continue to utilize Gary's counsel and services, and will highly recommend him!
