| - We hired Marina through our contractor to do the detailed design work for a major remodel of our kitchen, family room, dining room and living room. We took out a few walls to totally open up the space and bring the house into the 21st century.
Marina is not a designer that just comes in with color and furniture ideas and makes recommendations. Very detailed in all aspects of the construction work from drawing up blueprints, getting all the necessary city and county approvals and of course her own ideas from design to granite, light fixtures, appliances and of course colors and other ideas. I was a little hesitant at first with some of her ideas as they were a little outside of my box of thinking. However, once I saw the stone wall up that she recommended all my doubts disappeared and we went with most everything she suggested.
Bottom line is we could not be happier with the way the project turned out. The design is perfect. Not a single thing we would change now that we are 6 months after completion. Our contractor, Shad Hellmendollar was also excellent and the two of them worked very well together.
At first I thought she was on the expensive side, and she is, but when you consider the quality of work, all the detailed drawings, getting approvals, calling in structural engineers to assist, then I would have to say we got more that our money's worth.
