Kitchen Design Services in Columbia, CT

“This is not a typical review, but our association is unique and I trust that yours would be the same if you were to select Irene Design as your consultant. We met Irene at a home show. We had been thinking about remodeling the interior of our home, but wanted a design consultant to work with us. We contracted with Irene Design to be our consultant. During the first visit to our home to take pictures and discuss with us, what we liked and disliked, I pointed out to her that the carrying partition on the first flow did not run parallel to the outside wall. Thus, any pattern in the flooring would also appear to diverge from the wall. Irene, immediately suggested that the tiles be installed at a 45 degree angle, which totally eliminated the problem. We then continued to work with Irene on the layout of the bathrooms, the wallpaper selection and the carpeting to mention only a small portions of the interactions we had with her in arriving at a design that met our needs and tastes. We had differences with Irene, but in each case Irene was always open to our suggestions. We would sit and discuss the pros and cons of each change and were always able to arrive at a decision that best met our needs. Once, we had finalized the design, we prepared a bid specification setting out exactly what we expected the contractor to do and what we would supply. This bid specification was given to 4 separate contractors including Irene Design. It should be noted that Irene had assured us that she would work with whichever contractor we selected to assure us that the design, such as the tile layouts in the bathrooms would be done as she had planned. While all four contractor bids were fairly close, Irene Designs bid was slightly less, so we selected them to perform the construction. At the same time we had also contracted with an electrician and a painter/wallpaper hanger. The electrician did an excellent job, however the painter made some serious errors in prepping the stair case walls for papering. After several attempts by the paper hanger to repair the problems, it became evident that all the paper in the stair case would have to be remove, the wall repaired and primed correctly and then repaper the whole area. Irene Design, on learning of this said that they would do the repair work at cost to help us out of this difficult situation. For these reasons, we highly recommend Irene Design if you are considering a remodeling project. If you would like to discuss our experience with Irene Design, we would welcome your calls”

“Ann was very professional and always punctual. There were many details she added that I never would have thought of. She stayed within our budget and was one step ahead of us through the whole project. She was terrific to work with and I would highly recommend her to others. I love love love my new kitchen.

“We visited Brunarharns over 35 years ago and purchased a hand crafter dining room set, which we have kept to this day. Quality Construction. Our visit to Brunarharns in August 2014, confirmed our belief that the family has continued the same high quality standards and the same caring attitude.”

“Michael Weitz was extremely attentive to our needs and has a great command of his subs. He managed a massive renovation of our house in Mansfield over a period of years (2002 through 2006). First, he created a master bedroom suite. We invited him back to renovate our kitchen, add a foyer, fireplace, and 2 car garage with suite over. We would turn to him again for future projects that we can't handle ourselves!”

“Tom Norcia of Built by Alpine has worked on a project for me that is in another location a couple of miles from our home. Working with him is a pleasure. He responds to queries or comments within a day, sends prompt estimates, and communicates by email or phone as needed. After a day's work, he usually sends me an email report, often with a photo of the progress accomplished. The quality of Tom's work is very good and careful. Because I cannot often be present, it is particularly important that I can trust him to carry out what I expect. He fulfills that trust absolutely.”

“Covenant Kitchens and Baths were so professional. The first console was to make a wish list, cut out pictures from magazines for ideas.They listened much while I talked. Next was the team making a picture draft for me to see so I had an idea of what my Kitchen and bath would look like ahead of time. This way I could make revisions. There were so many options from the best to mid grade material. Nothing was forced on me but I was given many options.to choose from... While we were going through renovations all the workers were respectful that we were still living in our home. I had a great project manager who I was able to contact anytime. Also I was able to consult with Kira the designer at multiple times. They were all very available. In my kitchen I really wanted a shelf above my island and Gerard the owner really made that work for me even though it was a tricky add on...I love not seeing any outlet plugs on the walls, thats a must for Gerade.They showed up everyday and meet all the deadlines.. I would highly recommend Covent Kitchen and Baths. They will meet all your expectations...”
