The experience was good. He came and gave me some ideas. He did what he had to do, unfortunately it didn't work for my house. He was punctual, and he seemed to try and give his best shot at giving me something new. He came through with some alternative stuff.
Description of Work: I had purchased a big deal for The Model Home Look. They said that they could do my kitchen and the different configurations that I could have.

The owner, Mike Ford, met with us in person and was very professional. We received numerous photos from the computer generated design and $500 credit towards work if we contracted with the Model Home Look. We also received a good explaination of the contracting process, how the company works and approximate cost range for our design based on materials selected.
Description of Work: Met at home to review current kitchen and dimensions and then worked with us to create new 3d rendering for a new design. The new layout helped give the kitchen a much needed update and solved space issues in our small kitchen.

It was good. He was an efficient guy. We decided not to do anything with the results, but we were satisfied. They were very responsive to our scheduling needs. I have no complaints. The representative obviously knew his stuff, and he came prepared. I was completely satisfied with his analysis and he did his job. He was here roughly an hour, and he took his time.
Description of Work: We were considering a major kitchen redesign, and he gave us some ideas, but we decided not to pursue it.

This service was advertised as worth $1500. Laughable. After he visited my home the provider sent me two renderings, which didn't even show the work which I was interested in. He promised to send me an estimate of the costs for the options we discussed. He didn't. I complained, and have heard nothing since. In my opinion, once he learned that I wasn't interested in a major renovation, he lost interest.

Good. Mike was on time. Very friendly. Super knowledgeable. His Advice was helpful. The 3D computer images of my bathroom were interesting. In the end however I just wished I had put the $99 towards my renovation. Although the advice was helpful I probably could of gotten the same advice from a contractor at no charge. Maybe I didn't ask the right questions since this is my first real renovation experience and I understand that to have someone come to your home, takes time and money.

My only complaint is that I wan't assertive enough to insist on a drawing that didn't have changes I really didn't want. He wanted to move the appliances around and I don't particularly want to. I think that will just add expense to the project with no benefit. The final drawings reflect more of his ideas than mine. That said, I did get some suggestions that I like and it was a good opportunity to get me thinking about what I want in the end. I'm certainly glad I did it.

The remodel included gutting the current bathroom, moving the toilet to accommodate a larger vanity, new lighting, new toilet, new mirror, new exhaust fan, painting, and the replacement of the window. Mike and his crew did a great job and it looks fabulous. We had a number of minor issues, which can occur on any project ,and Mike quickly responded to fix the issues. As an aside, we also had a problem with a slow leak in our kitchen dishwater that did considerable damage and required a significant effort to fix. The tile had to be broken up, the sink cabinet replaced and the bedroom under the kitchen had water damage and had to have work done on it. Mike had his folks worked all weekend to make the fixes and the job they did was terrific. He gave us a very fair price on the repair.
Description of Work: We took advantage of the $99 bathroom design offer by the Model Home Look. We had a 5' by 11' hall bathroom that we wanted to update. We had two other proposals and went with Mike Ford and the Model Home Look.

Mike Ford spent several hours with us. He took detailed measurements of two bathrooms and then offered ideas and initial renderings on his laptop, following up with more complete renderings by email. Throughout the process, we learned a lot about Mike's business--its background and the philosophy he brings to his interaction with clients--and were greatly impressed by his professionalism and approach to the task. He listened carefully to our preferences and goals and incorporated them into the resulting designs; the process really helped us think through aspects of the project. We haven't proceeded with the bathroom project, but only because of our own slowness--I would not hesitate to call upon Mike in the future, for this or other projects.

It was totally amazing. Mike is so personable - he listened to our ideas and wish list. He created the most perfect remodel plan for our master bath. We got to see his ideas right on the spot and then they emailed us the plans and all the details a few days later. Now that we have a good plan, we are looking forward to working with Mike and The Model Home Look in the near future!

(member name removed), As you can imagine, reviews are extremely important to us and getting your negative review is very disappointing. I ask that you take another look at the renderings because accurate measurements were provided. Equally troubling is the mention of the files were provided late because they were sent to you within 4 days of our meeting. To summarize the service that was provided for your $99.00 Angie’s List Big Deal: • We met on 11/21 to discuss your basement bathroom project. Your project was unique because it was started and not completed by another contractor. You expressed concerns that the previous contractor did not know what he was doing and you had fired him. In any event, I spent approximately an hour and a half taking very detailed measurements of your basement bathroom. I also created the initial layout onsite with your input. • Following the initial meeting, I made further enhancements to your design. • The completed floorplan and photo-realistic renderings were saved to Google Documents and were shared with you. According to our records, you viewed them on 11/28. The links below are the renderings that were provided. As you will see, one of the files is the floorplan with accurate measurements. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwhq56Y0EdRTdFJ6YzRWYmlDNDQ/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwhq56Y0EdRTcG5kXzBLM1ZROWs/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwhq56Y0EdRTQ0ktZUh0RGU5SlE/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwhq56Y0EdRTZEpUZEItQXIzTmc/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwhq56Y0EdRTZTBKb2dORjQ5V28/view?usp=sharing https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bwhq56Y0EdRTU1owSEt1RFJMQlk/view?usp=sharing

Mike questioned us on our needs and wants and offered a variety of options to fulfill those needs. His ideas were fresh and gave us new things to consider in this pending remodel. We found Mike open to suggestion but also able to improve upon those suggestions. He was quick to follow up with completed drawings and renderings. Mike is willing to make those suggestions in accordance with a price range estimate that the customer is thinking of spending. All in all, a worthwhile investment.

I spoke with this member and explained that we have his design renderings completed for him. We are sorry that he felt a week turnaround was not acceptable. We spent nearly a month waiting for an appointment time to meet his schedule. Once schedules, I arrived on time for the appointment time, but had to wait about 30 minutes for his real estate agent to open the property. Once in, I spent over an hour taking detailed measurements and discussing layout options for his master bathroom.

They did pretty well. They came over in a timely manner. They did a fine job. They were responsive. They seemed pretty good. They did nice designs for the design package which was fine. We never went further than the design package. I asked for a quote and I never got a quote. That's okay. They weren't supposed to give a quote but I asked them as an extra. It wasn't part of the deal. It was good. I liked it. The layouts were good and the designs were good. They did a good job. I had to call them to get this deal.

It sounded like a good deal.....have them come out and whip up a design for your bathroom. The only thing is that every other place will do it too. We had three other bidders come to the house...all used the same software and gave us basically the same thing. Part of the deal was that if you went with them, they'd take that cost out of your project. In the end, while trying to compare among the four bidders we were unable to get a finalized estimate from them. Our schedules were not jiving and they would not email us a copy. Without an estimate to look at we had to drop them from the running for the remodel. We just didn't have time to keep running down to Chantilly with 2 full time jobs and kids out of school for the summer. So basically for us it was a waste of money as it wasn't anything new or different.
Description of Work: provided a potential layout for a bath remodel with some "could be" drawings of cabinet, shower glass, etc.

We take reviews very serious and as you can imagine are disappointed that you are not happy with the service that we provided. For your $99.00 Angie's List purchase, we spent about an hour on-site taking detailed measurements and interviewing you to determine what you wanted in the new layout. We then returned to our office and created detailed renderings and photo-realistic images of how the finished bathroom would look. Those designs were then sent electronically for your review. At the time, you indicated that you were very happy with what was provided and wanted to follow-up with another session in our design showroom in Chantilly. Following the last session, you asked us to provide you with a proposal for the project. Per your request, a proposal was created. We then set anther appointment for us to present the proposal to you. You cancelled that meeting and asked us to email the proposal. Because of the complexities of the project, our practice is to always present proposals in person. By presenting proposals, we are able to answer any questions about our process and we are able to establish the appropriate allowances necessary for the project. Furthermore, all of our proposals are fixed cost agreements and simply emailing an itemized price list does not work. We take great pride in the fact that our fixed price process allows our clients to have their projects delivered without unnecessary cost overruns. Again, we are sorry you are not happy with the service and we take great pride in providing excellent service to all of our customers.
