JOAN STADT INTERIORS LTD

Description of Work: I have known Joan Stadt since 2003, having worked with her at that time. When my home was flooded out by Hurricane Sandy, I contacted Joan to help me with the interior design after rebuilding. She was going to help with paint color, tiler selection, carpets, rugs, furniture and kitchen counters/backsplash. Joan said she would make me a priority. Between that time and the present, Joan came over one time to measure and then I met with her 2 times for 2 hours each session. She also referred me to a contractor she had worked with. During this span of time, I had to call Joan on multiple times to remind her we needed to start selecting certain materials, because the project of rebuilding was going to start. Joan never followed through. When I decided not to hire her contractor, because he was more expensive than anyone else, Joan became irate, screaming at me. She also raised her fees, because now she had to do what the contractor was going to do. I had no clue what that was. She also complained that I had "no respect for her time, " complained about the invoices she had to write (which she knew were needed, becaiuse this was an insurance claim), told me I should find someone else and hung up on me. I found Joan to be unprofessional, disrespectful, and she left me hanging when I needed her the most, when I my home was finally in the reconstruction phase. Overall, this was a horrendous experience.

Description of Work: Joan picked out the furniture, colors and overall design scheme for my perhaps 1500 square foot home. It is safe to say I paid maybe five thousand dollars for her services including the costs of the furniture she picked out.
