Future Project with ADS

Future Project with ADS - Yes, we would hire ADS to work with us again. We have a handful of smaller projects we'd love to tackle over the next few years and our first call will be to Anna and the ADS team.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Thank you all very much, the work and client management was excellent. And a huge shout out to Matt for navigating a tricky situation with honesty and awareness into what was going on as we waited. He could not have shown more care and concern and it made the entire situation so much easier and less stressful to deal with. Everyone we met and worked with during this process was lovely.

Advance Design Studio made everything so seamless and easy, and their work was so well-planned, thoughtful, and timely that I've been recommending them to anyone and everyone that is interested in any sort of remodel.

Needs And Desires

Needs And Desires - After our first meeting, understanding how we were feeling concerning the budget, and seeing a few of my inspiration pictures, the designer knocked it out of the park with recommendations for the design and gave great options that exceeded our expectations.

Project Proposal

Project Proposal - I regularly referred to the proposal as it was so detailed and contained everything we needed to know. It also served the purpose of helping to ensure everyone was aligned on cost, materials, design, etc.

Investment Analysis

Investment Analysis - The investment analysis really helped us budget and determine what we could do without and what we were willing to spend a little more on. There were no surprises at the end of the project because of how detailed and well thought-out the analysis was.

Knowledge And Expertise

Knowledge And Expertise - Every question we had was answered honestly and sufficient reasoning/justification as to why something should/shouldn't be done. Even the sub-contractors were very willing to answer all of our questions. Not once did we feel like we were being taken advantage of or steered in the wrong direction.

Project Manager Communication

Project Manager Communication - The project manager communicated with us multiple times a day and we always knew what was happening the next day or when the schedule changed. He was also very quick to answer our calls/texts!

Sub-Contractors - Professionalism

Sub-Contractors - Professionalism - The sub-contractors were nothing short of amazing. They didn't rush their work, they were always on time, and they were so clean! It didnt feel like anything was under construction when they left for the day. They were all very kind and polite - they even took the time to let my small children see what they were doing and learn a little bit. It was a pleasure having them in our home!

Safety & Cleanliness

Safety & Cleanliness - Everything was kept very clean. Every speck of dust was always swept or vacuumed up, even when I told them not to worry about it. We never had to go back and clean up after anyone!

Workmanship

Workmanship - Everyone took their time and it really shows in their work. They were all perfectionists and wanted to make sure their work reflected that. We were so impressed with the cabinetry, flooring, hardware, and countertop. Everything looks and feels so high-end and substantial.

Client Experience

Client Experience - Advance Design always made us feel like we were the only clients they were working with even though we were one of the smaller projects on their schedule. We so appreciated the gesture of sending gourmet cookies at the completion of the project!

Fears Or Concerns

Fears Or Concerns - We had seen so many horror stories on social media about clients being "ghosted" after a deposit was made, the finished project not meeting expectations, or not being able to get a hold of the contractor. We didn't have to worry about any of that with Advance Design! I actually didn't have to worry about anything at all - they took care of ordering, scheduling, and communicating with the subs. I just had to be at my house!

Exceeding Expectations

Exceeding Expectations - The overall process. I was blown away by the attention to every detail so that we didn't have to worry about anything. Having line-of-sight of their whole business model and project plan just blew me away.

Why ADS?

Why ADS? - The organization of the project from beginning to end, the up-front communication, the detailed estimate before the contract was signed, the walk through with subs to eliminate as many suprised as possible/get a better cost estimate... after seeing all of that, it just seems like a no-brainer. Especially after getting quotes from other companies and getting much less for a higher price.

Future Project with ADS

Future Project with ADS - Yes, we already have a list going!

Why ADS?

Why ADS? - Really enjoyed working with Carrie and the assistance in the start of our project.

Why ADS?

I visited there on-site building, and I was impressed that they are a standalone business. They are approachable. They let you create under one roof and that is very, very appealing.

Exceeding Expectations

Exceeding Expectations - Everything in the process turned out the way it was all presented to us.

Why ADS?

Why ADS? - We liked the idea of having one company to do the whole project and not have to hire a contractor and all the subcontractors separately. Like the common sense remodeling. We did like that you have the Studio open occasional weekends for people to come in.

Ways To Improve

Ways To Improve - Our experience was pretty good don't know that I have a suggestion.

Future Project with ADS

Future Project with ADS - Possibly the Handyman Help - at the moment we are not considering any future remodels but if we were we would certainly have Advance Design Studio do the remodel.

Why ADS?

Why ADS? - The factor that went into my decision to partner with them was because they did a great job on my bathroom.

Future Project with ADS

Future Project with ADS - I will be considering them for services in the future. I used them for handy help prior to that too, and I would definitely use them again.
