Ellis Design Group, LLC

We have not completed the project with Carol as of yet. We have learned a lot about working with a designer. She is very professional with lots of ideas and resources. This review is premature and we will update.

Carol came to our home and preceded to talk about herself and her other projects. She never opened a design book or gave input on how she would redesign our project. She was very clear about $100 an hour. Every phone call, meeting. We paid her $250 and that was a total waste of money. She was not prepared. I was totally willing to pay the fee to get good help but she is not it!

Carol & her team helped us with our lighting plan and other items on our long list of to-dos when we purchased a fixer upper. First she guided us through the initial process of reviewing our plans, guiding us through the process of hiring the right trades. Then lighting as well as other more texhnical aspects of our project. Finally she nailed it with a timeless color palette for both the exterior & interior. Amazing talent, utmost patience, technical knowledge and so professional. We couldn't ask for more.

I am still working with them. So far I am very impressed with their professionalism. Great helping me with decisions. Carol is wonderful and very detailed orientated, a fantastic help with things I would otherwise not have thought of. But most of all keeping me on track and not letting me go too crazy. So far it has been delightful experience.

Carol Ellis is a real pleasure to work with. She is a real perfectionist, great attitude and really knows her colors. Hire this woman and you won t have to second-guess yourself all the time or make a lot of costly mistakes.

RUN RUN RUN This is the first time I have ever felt the need to leave a negative review of a business but I really feel like this is the only way for me to maybe prevent others from having the same experience that my wife and I had. I run a business myself and do not understand how someone can rack up thousands of dollars of work and not let the person know at any point during the process of how much time they are spending on the design process. We felt like we were taken advantage of for not asking about how much time she was spending. I have waited a month or so because I thought I would cool down a bit but I really have not. We asked her to work with us on the bill because she did not communicate at all, but she said she could not give us any of her time for free, and she had worked hard on the project. I hope that people read this it can save them the heartache.

Carol was most helpful with her insights. I had wanted ideas about paint colors and bringing the project together. Her suggestions gave me good ideas to consider and broadened my perspective.

Very personable and listened to my needs. She gave me many different options to choose from and very satisfied with her service! I will recommend her to my colleges, friends and family.

Carol was wonderful in redesigning a horrible outdated and non- functional kitchen! She was great with the design and walked us through every step of the way. We love both the look and functionality of the new space wiochsnging the original footprint.

Great to work with. Very very knowledgeable. Would recommend Carol

Carol was very good at helping us to articulate what it was we wanted in a redesign of our kitchen. She pays particular attention to detail and gave great suggestions for where to find materials.

She knew right what I needed and put me at ease with the things I needed for the city Update April 2019: I feel that I was taken advantage of, she initially quoted me $4000 - $5000, when all was said and done the price came out to be $5000 more with no explanation, For what I had done and what was already existing, I feel that the work done was no adequate for the final price. I am still not sure what made the price go up $5000 for this project.

We have tabled the project until fall/winter. We are in consultation with the interior decorator of this group. We are completely satisfied. Carol made suggestions for us to consider, and made us feel that we could certainly call her later in the year for more extensive advice.

Carol is Very good at what she does, listening to who you are and what you are trying to accomplish. she has great taste and works with you to create what you want. She has good communication skills and stays on top of the project at hand
