Chad is an amazing designer with impeccable taste and remarkable vision. We gave him a challenging space to design. Not only was he able to turn it into something refined and elegant, it was also entirely practical and fully functional. Chad is the consummate professional, creative, affable, and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Chad was amazing to work with! We were doing our basement bar and bathroom and needed help with picking out color schemes and designs. Chad had great ideas and helped pull everything together! He's super responsive and has a lot of great connections too. He was such a pleasure to work with! We will definitely be working with him in the future on any home projects we have!

Chad was great to work with. We wanted to spruce up the entire house and get it ready to have a more cohesive flow. Chad listened to everything we said, and ran away with it. He was interested in our opinions, offered a variety of solutions and was conscious with our budget. The house is always a work in process, but now it feels more complete. When we decide to do more, he will be our first call. Thank you for making our house more of a home!

I have worked with Chad on renovations at my company for the past several years. He has an excellent eye for design, is very responsive and was able to work within our budget. Chad also was able to provide a photo layout of how the proposed colors and design would look in the actual space - which was very helpful when making design decisions.

My husband and I hosted our first Christmas dinner for our family and Chad gave us great recommendations that show cased both of our styles. Chad is very thorough, helpful and understands how to cohesively blend aesthetics. We look forward to working with him again!

I couldn't have survived my kitchen remodel without Chad! His advice, expertise, and great style were invaluable. He was also patient and encouraging with all of the inevitable delays, frustrations, and headaches that come with a full kitchen and bath remodel. Chad was professional, quick to respond to any and all communication, and a pleasure to work with. My only regret is not having more spaces to remodel and more design projects to tackle!
