It is a living nightmare! One year of trying to contact Dino and his partner Pat. They showed up to take the money and then disappeared with smiles on their faces. This is a scam organization. They never showed up to do the work as stated in the contract nor did the construction company show to do the work. They never did anything nor did they deliver any of the cabinets, toilets, counter, vanity, closets, ect. I had to hire a licensed plumber to do the plumbing because they work with an unlicensed plumber. They sent two outdoor landscapers to do the job after I complained to the BBB four months after they didn't show up to do the work. The outdoor landscapers had no clue how to put up a shower and as a result the tile and backboard needs to be torn down as well as the drywall in the bathroom. They quit and walked away after I pointed out to them their inferior work. The fixtures that I purchased were taken for the shower were stolen and now I must not only hire a new contractor and pay for a complete gut and total remodel but Keen Design scammed me for over $7,000 and to date has gotten away with it. Design has scammed not only homeowners but the people they subcontract to do work with. They shutdown their last business and opened up under a new name. I don't know how the Town of Brighton allows them to conduct fraud in their town. Perhaps the town supervisor needs to be contacted to shut them down.
Description of Work: Showed up one day and walked away from the project after collecting the downpayment from my senior citizen mother. I complained to the BBB and he sent a subcontractor and showed up to take the next payment. To date they have scammed my mother over $7,000 plus. The subcontractors put up some tile and drywall that all needs to be torn down because the shower will leak and the drywall installation is wrong. They quit and Keen would not settle the matter and never heard again from them. One year without a bathroom. My 89 year old mom has to restart to climbing stairs to get to a bathroom in the house. Dino and his partner Pat Fedele are both con men and belong in jail. I am currently working with the State Attorney General to have them arrested and make restitution.

This company is the worst in customer support and help. They need to be turned into the BBB.
Description of Work: Because of the significant delays related to the delivery of our cabinets (our original order with you was made in June 2014 and as of March 17, 2015, we still have not received the complete set of cabinets) and the incredibly poor customer service of your company not responding to our inquiries, we have decided to officially hire another design firm. As such, we will be requesting full reimbursement of all cabinets not received and adjusted reimbursement for cabinets required due to an incorrect design. Reimbursement will be based on our costs and not yours. I'm addition, we will be looking for you and your company to cover some of the redundant costs we will incur with the new company.

Description of Work: Keen Design Group charged me $200 (plus I paid $100 for an Amazon Local coupon that offered a discount on their design services) for two remodeling designs -- one for a full bath and one for a kitchen. I also sent 12 photos and measurements of the two rooms at their request. Keen never called me back after charging my credit card. I called them and emailed them several times, and I sent a letter by postal mail asking for the designs or my money back. They never contacted me and never refunded my money. Do not waste your money or your time with this company.

Took a while to get the service but once I got his attention Dino did a fantastic job. Not only a great design but saved a ton of money. Paid almost nothing for the design and got big discounts (20-35%) from the stores they use to supply materials--I would have paid much more without Keen and I would not have gotten their design help either.
Description of Work: Kitchen design plan.

I think this is the same question as "what did they do"? IT all went well. The design phase did take a little longer (almost 3 weeks) than expected but it was well worth it.
Description of Work: Keen designed our kitchen from the floor up. after getting to the final design (the one one we liked the best) we worked hand in hand with them to pick out material and they then delivered a discounted price (we shopped them also) on all components. the entire service was great and we definitely appreciated the above board design services, but the pricing on everything (especially cabinets) was VERY advantageous.

We started our kitchen remodel with Keen after seeing one of their advertisements. They worked with us on the kitchen layout and overalll design. This process took about 1 1/2 weeks and was very collaborative. My wife felt very easy in calling hem and going over design s and requesting revisions. After they got to the final draft we then moved on to picking material. We got to see all the material locally and it was nice to have an expert put the look together. As much as anything elase (not to sound cheap) we found the pricing to be very competitive. Compared to kraftmaid at home dept they came in under thier price for what we think is a better cabinet. Loved it and have already referred them and plan on using them for our bath!
Description of Work: Keen provided design for the kitchen (multiple drafts) and then picked out all material with us and provided a discounted price for all. (not appliances though, which would have been nice also. But they dont offer that service yet)
