My wife and I found Angela from searching Homestars as we have largely had success with people we have found via this route. We had planned to renovate two of our bathrooms. We have had a long standing relationship with someone who is in construction but we needed someone to execute our vision. On top of this, we were dealing with a very ill family member so we were hoping that by hiring a designer we could take away much of the stress and work from our end. That's were Angela comes in... To begin with, she is always attentive, responsive and super professional. She was very pregnant when we met her but that did not impact her commitment to our project and our needs. We explained our vision and our problems with our sick family member and she took the project on. To begin with, she wanted to see what we were going for as a general idea. From that, she developed detailed drawings and plans. She collaborated with us every step of the way to ensure our vision was realized. She pointed things out to us, we would have NEVER considered without her. She is in every sense of the word a true professional. She sourced all the materials and the materials she sources are always high quality or locally produced. She does not cut corners with her material selections. She coordinated with our construction folks and the job was seamless. Our vision was fully realized without the stress or anxiety of managing the project. On the rare occasion where we had a few small hiccups Angela was there to correct them right away. In fact, I would say that she was probably more particular that this project was completed to spec more than we were (which is an amazing attribute). All in all, Angela came as advertised. She fulfilled all of her promises, designed our bathroom, sourced all the materials, coordinated with all of the suppliers (and having a baby in between it all), yet the work did not suffer one bit. We have a third bathroom we are going to renovate in the near future and we will be calling Angela again (and again and again). We cannot recommend her highly enough.
