Communication

Communication - Karin and Nick are the best communicators. Hands down, the best! I never worried about any aspect of the project. From the design phase and beyond the completion, there was clear communication. Every question I asked was answered, and their communication alone is a reason to go with Karin Ross Designs for your next home project!

Schedule

Schedule - The project started early! How often does a business start a project early! If it had not been for supplier delays due to COVID-19, our project would have concluded a week early. The crew was on-time almost every day, and if there was a late start (which was very rare), the delay was communicated.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - The entire team! Karin, Nick, and Jerry were excellent throughout the entire project.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - Communication! Good communication and management is worth its weight in gold! Ive worked with other companies, and I acted as the project manager for most of those projects. That WILL NOT happen with Karin and her team.

Problem Resolution

Problem Resolution - The few glitches we experienced were addressed quickly, collaboratively, and to our satisfaction.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - From planning to finish, we had an excellent experience with Karin, Nick, and their team.

Karin Ross Designs has been fantastic to work with. From our first meeting when Karin and Nick came to the house and we talked through what we were thinking, to selection of the design that Karin created for us, to the item selection (tile, cabinetry, fixtures, etc.), everything was well thought out and coordinated. Karin and Nick took care of everything: coordinating plumbing, electrical, roofers, windows, carpet, ordering everything we needed for the project, etc. The guys (Jerry, Johnny, and Tony) that did the majority of the work on the house were extremely professional, friendly and focused on the work at hand. They were here every day at 8 AM. If we had any questions, concerns or requests, Karin was very accommodating, and the guys on site would take action. We had two projects in one. The smaller project involved remodeling a hall bath, while keeping the existing footprint of the room. It turned out great! The larger project involved removing and adding walls and windows, completely reconfiguring plumbing, electrical and air to reimagine our master suite. The end result was way better than we could've ever envisioned ourselves. It was Karin's vision that we fell in love with and what we now have the pleasure of living in. It's awesome. We highly recommend Karin Ross Designs for your next home project.

I’ve already recommended KR Designs to people!

I would be honored to recommend Karin Ross Designs to everyone! Meeting Karin was the best thing that happened to me! As soon as she walked in my front door, listened to what I wanted, she immediately had ideas on how to make my dreams come true.

Types of work

Types of work - We had a small remodel in our upstairs hall bathroom. They took out old tub and tile. The area looks amazing! Fantastic job on the tiling! We ordered custom made cabinets from Yorktown cabinets. They are absolutely gorgeous! Karin met with me 1 day a week for 6 weeks to select everything I wanted for cabinets and drawers. I have the best combination of upper and lower cabinets with deep large drawers, medium size drawers and regular sized drawers. I have a specialty cabinet (built in hutch) that is super special! Brad is their cabinet guy and he did an excellent job installing all of our cabinets and hand built our crown molding to fit perfectly! He is a true artist! Our backsplash is totally amazing and Joel, the tile guy, was a master at making sure everything matched up as it should. He was so completely thorough in laying the tile pieces. He is amazing. We replaced some windows and covered up other windows. Jerry was absolutely amazing at installing those and made the outside of our home match what we currently have! You can't even tell its been modified! We kept our original floor but had to add tile where the wall came down to expand our kitchen into a sitting area that we had. This expansion alone made our area so spectacular! All of the guys worked on taking this wall down and reconfiguring everything from the plumbing, to electrical to adding plug ins. Completely amazing! Karin also helped me with interior design ideas. She is the most patient person in the world. I had so many questions and sent so many texts it was crazy. She NEVER made me feel I was bothering her. She answered my texts, calls, or emails within a couple of hours or less! Who does that! Typically it can be 24 hours or more before you hear back from them. She is so impressive! I cannot put into words how much I love and appreciate her! Karin is an amazing, talented designer with an eye that is unbelievable. Nick, Karins husband, was our contractor. He was absolutely amazing! He never made me feel I was asking dumb questions or taking too much of his time. He answered all of my questions and was able to give me examples of what he was trying to explain. Although I knew that he was so busy and had many other places to go everyday, he never made me feel he was in a hurry to leave! That meant so much to me. I know that seems simple but for me as a teacher, it means a lot when someone is able to make you feel that you are the only one he cares about right now!!!! That takes a special person!

Safe

Safe - My husband and I were blown away by how clean they left our areas so neat and clean every single night before they left. Thanks so much guys for doing that! I have a 3 year old granddaughter that spends a great deal of time at our house. I didn't have to worry about her safety at all.

Respectful

Respectful - The entire team at Karin Ross Designs was respectful in every single way. They were so thoughtful and mindful of what we were doing and where we needed to go in our house. We live in a multi-level house with a ton of stairs everywhere it seems. We had to go up and down everyday as nothing is on the same level! Can't say enough about the professionalism of the entire team!

Communication

Communication - Communication is absolutely effective and efficient! My questions were answered in a timely manner every time. Karin checked in with me at least 2 times a week. Nick came by the house 1-2 times a week as well. The crew came every day on time and communicated what they were going to be working on that day. Awesome communication!

Problem Resolution

Problem Resolution - We really didn't have any "problems" at all, however there were times when items were delayed due to what was going on at the time of our remodel. The coronavirus was just starting to be recognized which contributed to some delays in materials being delivered. Karin and Nick felt horrible. They contacted us immediately and explained what was going on. They were both so respectful of our feelings and made us feel at ease,

He was so professional, respectful and helpful through every stage of our remodel. Brad was the main person that worked on our project and I'm so blessed that he was given our project. By the end of our 2nd week I felt he was part of our family!!!! Jerry; he was our project manager and completed many aspects of our project. So many of those I have no idea, but a few to mention was the reconfiguration of our windows and taking out the wall. .was so helpful in answering all my questions and was extremely professional as well. Alex: completed all the painting. He did an excellent job of painting everything we needed painting. We have some extremely high ceilings and he did an excellent job with all the painting, Joel: put in the back splash tile. He was so precise and the tile is perfect. We love our back splash. Nick: was a part of our project every step of the way. He met with us prior to the project starting to get an understanding of what we wanted and carried through the entire length of the project. Karin: the entire project started with her. Without her this project would not have been what I wanted. From the first meeting to the end, Karin truly understood what I wanted!!! She is truly gifted and unbelievably knowledgeable in design!! She truly listened to what I wanted and gave me an amazing over the top kitchen that I could ever imagine. I love my new designer kitchen. I can't believe I get to come down every single morning to this elegant kitchen of my dreams.

It was time to remodel our kitchen and family room we were looking for design ideas. We came across Karen Ross Design we liked their work and decided to arrange an appointment with Karen and our family. On our very first appointment we knew we don't need to look any further. We explained Karen and Nick are requirements. She came up with ideas and we picked one that will work for our family. The kitchen and family room came out better than we could gave imagined. Karen and Nick’s suggestion along the way enhanced the design. Husband and wife team work is impeccable. We have an amazing kitchen and family area. We highly recommend her to anyone and everyone.
