Testimonials

"Traci Taylor was wonderful. She listened to me and offered advice that went with our home!"

- C. Grannis
"We love our kitchen! It's lovelier than we expected. Absolutely terrific. Proud of the results!"

- G. Kelper
"We love our new kitchen. The finished product well exceeds our expectations! Marge Dean was wonderful to work with and was very creative."

- B. Zeiner
"Creative ways to deal with problems and excellent people to work with."

- T. Heitman
"You are very fortunate to have Dave as an employee. He not only lets you know when he's coming but arrives promptly, works diligently, and does a professional job. His happy disposition (never complaining) and his confidence in his ability to handle his tasks puts one to ease."

- P. Callentine
"From beginning to end, your team was terrific. Design Studio West took extra time to understand what we were trying to accomplish and shaped our ideas into a spectacular kitchen and living space. You were very gentle in redirecting our worst ideas. The construction and installation process went very smoothly even with the curve balls we threw in like the new roof and gas retrofit ... A good contractor can follow a plan when there are no surprises, but you demonstrated your excellence in dealing with the dynamics of our complicated project. We have had several large dinner parties and we are still shocked at how fast the area cleans up. It looks terrific and works marvelously."

"It has been such a pleasure doing business with you for the past five years. I have referred many of my friends to you and hope some have contacted with you."

- B. Cope
"Having our whole project managed by one company where the designer, project coordinator, craftsman and artisans knew each other, was absolutely essential. Margaret Dean was the best! She responded immediately, shopped for ideas with me and had very creative ideas. She made a small space workable and attractive."
