We absolutely love our kitchen, and it turned out precisely as we envisioned. John's exceptional assistance exceeded our expectations, and we can't express our gratitude enough for him and the team he recommended. He was attentive to our "must-haves" and transformed them into reality. The vital communication he maintained with the crew was needed for our project's success. If you're contemplating handling such a project independently and subcontracting the necessary tasks, we'd strongly advise you to reconsider. The level of intricacy involved truly calls for an expert's touch. Following John's advice, we engaged the services of one of the premier contractors, Matticoli Construction, and the results were truly astonishing. They approached the kitchen renovation as if it were their very own. Our interaction with them deepened over time, and we grew to enjoy them in our home.

John did an excellent job designing our kitchen and laundry rooms and in recommending an excellent contractor to complete the work. He is meticulous in his approach: taking time to listen to our ideas and providing initial drawings quickly thereafter. We began working together more than a year before the project started. In that time, he helped us select custom cabinetry, appliances, tile and even details such as lighting and cabinet hardware. We are so pleased with the end result and would definitely recommend John.

When we started working with John Hall, of the Hall Design Group, we didn't really know what it was we wanted except that we wanted a new kitchen, laundry room, and primary bath. Through a very careful and professional method, John guided us in planning 3 incredible spaces in our home. He helped us every step of the way and we are extremely happy with the end result. Now that it's complete, it's better than we initially imagined. The design phase took close to a year but it was worth it because when the construction began, we all were ready and there were no surprises. John's attention to detail, many years of experience, excellent communication skills, and patience led us through the design and construction phases with hardly any issues. And when there were issues, they were minimal and John was on it. We ordered all appliances and cabinets in plenty of time so that supply chain issues were not a factor. The construction company he suggested was exemplary. The construction portion of the project took about 6 months (plus a little extra for some punch list items). Now that it's over, we actually miss seeing our construction team and John! They were respectful of our space and privacy. Cleaned up every day and made living in the house while it was pulled apart, as easy as possible. I recommend the Hall Design Group with no reservations. If you hire them, you will be glad you did!

With the help of the Hall Design Group, our renovations surpassed all our expectations. John and his team were involved in every step of the process, completely streamlining what could have been an incredibly stressful situation. John walked us through and paid careful attention to every detail, from design, selection of materials, managing the project right through to the final decor and design touches. He was very personable, professional and knowledgeable and we can't thank him enough for helping us transform our kitchen, dining, laundry, sun and mudrooms. We will certainly utilize the services of the Hall Design Group again and highly recommend them to others.

I knew I wanted to work with John Hall from the moment I heard him speak at the NARI Home Improvement Show. He impressed me with his years of experience and knowledge about the industry. John recently met with me to survey my kitchen and laundry room space. On a separate occasion, we sat down together to discuss all aspects of the project. He patiently and respectfully answered all of my questions. What grew out of those meetings is a set of plans that fulfill my dream to maximize and incorporate these two spaces in a way that feels completely natural. I look forward to continuing this journey with John!

I worked with the Hall Design Group for a kitchen remodel; expanding the footprint, and opening up the site lines to the back of the house. John presented multiple design options and worked the design to fit my budget. He kept the project on track, and dealt with a malfunctioning appliance and a painter that quit mid project. John arranged and managed everything. I would have had no clue where to begin without him.

John Hall is the ultimate professional. His decades of experience translate into practical kitchen design with both functionality and style at its core. He has limitless contacts in all subspecialties, from tradespeople to supply chain, and can speed dial whomever is necessary to answer a question or solve a problem, sometimes mid-conversation! John’s wealth of knowledge and experience set him apart. He is a fair and honest businessman, and it was a real pleasure to work with him on my kitchen remodel. I highly recommend John Hall and the Hall Design Group. With gratitude, Ann - Cleveland Heights

We absolutely loved working with John. He was great in helping with the design of our office and laundry room. He made sure to incorporate all our wants and was great about keeping the budget in line. We cannot say enough good things about his work and his coordination with the all the vendors and contractors.

It has been a distinct pleasure to have worked with John on several kitchens over the years. He has been unfailingly creative in his designs and superbly organized. In addition, he is a careful listener and does his utmost to implement a client's vision; being ever respectful of the budget. John is always on task and available throughout the entire process, which has made the collaborative process so rewarding for me.

We hired John to help redesign a basement renovation. Initially things were fine, but as the project went on John began to withhold information relating to the design and was not providing any support despite saying he would do the contrary. In my experience, John has a hard time with critiques relating to his designs and ultimately likes to do things his way, and certainly not to his clients' liking. I cannot in good conscience recommend John as a designer and would encourage you to look elsewhere for design services.

Comment from The Hall Design Group:

John,

Thanks so much for your input. I respect your thoughts and would like to take a moment to clarify the situation. I enjoyed designing the basement for you folks and am confident you will get many years of enjoyment out of the space. I am grateful that you folks had the confidence in me for my "design only services" in which you contracted to have "conceptual" designs done for your viewing. These drawings were completed. At this point you were asking for technical cabinet information that can only be answered after "working" drawings ( supplied by your cabinet supplier) are completed by the person who was to supply the cabinetry for you. Answers to your technical questions cannot be answered with the conceptual drawings as stated within our agreement. I am sorry as this may have come across as "withholding" information . Even after the conceptual designs were done I went out to the house at no charge to spend hours laying out the conceptual cabinet design along with the electrical design. I know that being a "do-it-yourselfer" creates many challenges and I did whatever I could to assist you. In regards to withholding information we had a meeting in my studio to review things and to get your questions that were within my knowledge answered only to have the meeting cancelled on your end. I would be ever so happy to have you come in and get you the answers that I have the information for on my set of conceptual drawings. The cabinet supplier that you choose will be the one to provide the detailed answers that you have been looking for.

I so wish you the best and enjoy the basement.

Alex

We loved the design that John created for our new home. John was able to envision a stunning master bath for such a small space. The kitchen is our dream kitchen. Throughout the whole process, John helped us pick out everything from cabinets to fixtures to counters to appliances.

John Hall has been the designer for several projects in our home, most notably, our kitchen (2015) and master bathroom (2015). Both were in need of change and updating. John came in and had ideas on reconfiguring the spaces that we had never thought of. His designs involved removing a wall and relocating a doorway. Initially I was hesitant, as it was something I had not thought of doing. The changes that were made following his designs have worked perfectly for our family. Our home is so much more functional, and the spaces that were renovated are beautiful! He was very helpful in the selection process of the materials used that would go with the style of our home. He has an eye for the details. John has been a pleasure to work with. He listened to what our needs were and created spaces for us that exceeded our expectations. The contractor that John works closely with, was fantastic as well. We also used John's expertise for finishing our basement (2014) and updating our children's bathroom (2019). Our overall experience has been wonderful. I would highly recommend John Hall for any home renovation design needs you may have.
