5th Business Associates

They came in and gave us suggestions for renovations and we were more than satisfied with the end result. They had extremely good contractors, electricians, painters and plumbers which came in on a timely basis, did excellent work with no problems at all. They replaced all the parquet flooring, fourteen doors, all the baseboards and crown mouldings, smoothed the ceilings, took out some walls and generally made over the whole condo. Everything was done to our total satisfaction including all the new furniture and fixtures. We are so proud of our entry hallway with new hall cupboards and beautiful new laundry area. They also built and installed a new bed/headboard and wall sconces that are outstanding. We were totally happy with everything they did and we would highly recommend them.

The work was performed with good customer service and collaboration. Would work again in the future.

Liz is the consummate professional who draws on her depth of knowledge, experience, and resources within the design community.

Our condominium was dark, requiring a redesign and freshening up. Liz listened to our concerns and guided our selections every step of the way. She took into consideration our style, comforts, and budget. The kitchen was opened up completely. Our laundry room relocated. The ideas that she presented were so practical and innovative that we extended the project to our main bathroom. The results are bright, airy, and extremely functional.

Liz, we are writing this letter to express our sincere thank you for the great work you did for us in renovating the entire first floor of our home. We especially appreciated how your design achieved the vision we had for our home. Thank you so much for providing us with a variety of options including design solutions and furnishings that we did not even think off. At the end of the day you created a wonderful design for us that we are so proud of and that we enjoy every day.

We also want to acknowledge the workmanship of your construction team especially Andrew and the sub-trades. It is not often one receives the quality of workmanship during a renovation but Andrew was amazing in implementing your designs. We loved that fact that he always clean up after each days work and respected our furnishings and windows and doors that remained.

As we have indicated we are more than happy to share our experiences with your future clients and we encourage anyone to contact us regarding our renovations.

Once again our sincerest thank you to you, Andrew and your team of workers, everyone was kind, respectful and friendly.

We are average home owners who purchased a house that needed remodeling. We worked with 3 other designers until we found someone who finally knew what they were talking about. Liz of 5th business knows her stuff! She is one of those rare designers that can walk into any room and know exactly what needs to be done. She has vision, a common sense approach, and is a genius when it comes to design. Her taste is impeccable and what is great about Liz is that she can work with any budget.....even the least expensive design option can look like a million dollars. We have tried other designers in the past, and unfortunately spent a lot of money on poor design and shoddy workmanship from their contractors. Liz is, hands down, the best designer that we have worked with. She is a consummate professional, always communicating the financial aspects of the project as well. Furthermore, she stands behind her contractors and makes sure that the job gets done to her high standards. What I think sets her apart from other designers is that she truly has her clients' best interest at heart,she is mindful of the budget and doesn't waste the clients' time. She gets right to the heart of things and gets it done quickly. Having worked with Liz on several design projects and upgrades with varying budgets, we would not work with anyone else! Our experience with Liz is that she is always consistent with what she delivers, and that is SUPERB results! We look forward to working with her again on future projects!

Just sold my home that Liz Watkinson at 5th Business designed - got a record price on my street - made the money back we invested plus a tidy sum.

Very no nonsense lady, very creative but zero flakiness - like many other designers we have used in the past. Excellent product knowledge and sources - and she lets you feel like you are part of the process.

5 STARS!
