They took time to get to know our personal lifestyle as they built a storyboard of choices in furniture, accessories and fabrics. > Highly recommended! **★★★★★ — HU-835826, Nov. 2024** > We've worked with Monarch & Maker on the designs of new construction custom homes as well as additions and remodels, and we have always been pleased with their level of service, attention to detail, and expertise in the field of interior design. **Comment from Monarch & Maker:** > Thank you for the kind words! It's clients like you who make our job possible. **★★★★★ — Daniel Fellows, July 2024** > I purchased a new home and without much to furnish it with – I needed help. I work a lot and was overwhelmed with the amount of decisions I needed to make so I called Monarch & Maker, and I couldn’t be happier. > > From the start, they understood my vision and worked within my budget. The design team was efficient and creative, making the most of my space with the right mixture of modern and masculine. When I was hesitant, they guided me to the right design choices for me, without any pressure. For anyone seeking a design firm that listens to you and delivers outstanding results, I highly recommend Monarch & Maker. Their professionalism and commitment to client satisfaction are unmatched. **Comment from Monarch & Maker:** > We are so happy that we could bring your vision to life! Thank you for your kind feedback! **★★★★★ — Austin Lawn Specialists, April 2024** > Monarch & Maker Remodelers exhibited skilled craftsmanship in every aspect of our project. From carpentry to plumbing to tiling, their team members were experts in their respective trades. The attention to detail and precision of their workmanship are evident throughout our newly remodeled spaces. **Comment from Monarch & Maker:** > Thank you, Karen! We appreciate you taking the time to leave a review. **★★★★★ — Robin Miller, April 2024** > Monarch & Maker is a great company with very talented designers! Working with them was a true pleasure! You won't regret using them. **Comment from Monarch & Maker:** > Thank you, Robin, for the kind words! Clients like you make our job easy! **★★★★★ — diosw, July 2023** > Alex and the design team at Monarch and Maker did it again! They really impressed us during our latest master suite/bathroom remodel. Our new area is a dream! The selections were spot on, and the usability of our newly designed bathroom is off the charts. **★★★★★ — Robert M., Dec. 2022** > Monarch and Maker from initial design to finish was awesome. The ultimate professionals. We started prior to the pandemic and finished the biggest of the phases in the middle with the last phase starting shortly thereafter. (The only reason they did phases was to work within my schedule.) Communication was always critical, and they performed with what looked like ease. Whatever the unforeseen and unimaginable items arose, they were there letting me know updates and new timelines. > > I always got 3-4 options to choose from and if asked for their opinion they always gave me theirs and what they think I’d like the best if different from theirs. They thought of items and recommended things I’d never have thought of or knew existed. > > The finished product is unbelievable! Everyone that comes over to my house is amazed how it looks. Those that saw it before and those that never did. It truly is a masterpiece. I highly recommend them to anyone and will be a reference forever. > > I can’t thank the whole team—Allison, Alex, Adrienne, Kim, Maria, and all the crews I saw and did not see behind the scenes—enough. They are the best and never changed throughout. Anything I would want in the future for minor additions to what they mastered here I will definitely be contacting them. **★★★★★ — HU-931072701, Oct. 2022** > I have worked with the team of designers and project managers of Monarch and Maker for over two years on multiple projects and have nothing but great things to say. They are always interested in keeping up to date on the latest and most innovative products to show to their customers and they are excellent collaborators with their vendors to create a cohesive package to present to the client. They are responsive and courteous in their communications and are a joy to work with. I highly recommend their services. **★★★★★ — tyler crouch, Oct. 2022** > Working with Monarch & Maker team has been nothing short of amazing! Clearly some of the brightest minds in the design industry, their eye for what the client is looking for is spot on. If you’re looking for someone that is responsive, and all hands on deck this is the team for you! **★★★★★ — Blair Heiligbrodt, Aug. 2020** > The team at Monarch & Maker is a cut above the rest. Inspired ideas, passionate designers and flawless execution. I have used the M&M team for a full home remodel after Harvey and additional one-off projects and they have never disappointed. I highly recommend this team of accomplished designers! **★★★★★ — Gabriela Casillas, Aug. 2020** > This team made my dream come true, they worked with my taste and improved on my ideas. They worked to make it on time and budget. Micah came over as many times as needed. I am grateful to have had worked with them. **★ — Matt Horak, July 2020** > We had a room built and an ac unit installed. Soon after the build, we had to have Tipler tear out of a wall because of the leaking AC unit. Every 2 to 4 months, this terrible unit malfunctions in a different way. After weeks of trying to get them to inspect it (every time we call it takes weeks), instead of replacing the unit, Tipler just puts a bandaid on it. And every time they come out they promise that if they have to come out again, they will replace it. Still waiting. Don’t hire them **Comment from Monarch & Maker:** > Mr. Horak, > > Thank you for taking the time to write a review. On your project, as well as, every other, we take pride in our work and our commitment to excellence in the service we provide to our clients. Unfortunately in construction, specifically renovations, there can be unexpected circumstances that must be handled strategically and when there are client concerns, we do strive to take all steps necessary to achieve a resolution. > > When your project was completed six years ago, we verified that measures were taken to ensure the quality of the equipment installed by our vendors. For each and every project when appropriate, we do this by first requiring vendors to provide a warranty and second by offering a service contract, which clients may accept or decline. Despite your decision to decline the service contract, we continually addressed your service call requests as a courtesy. > > When there are additional client concerns beyond warranty or annual service, we typically hire an independent contractor to confirm the installation method is per guidelines or industry standard. For your project, the independent contractor verified that it was in fact installed correctly with the unit’s guideline. As a last step to achieve resolution once a products warranty has expired, we then work with our clients to transfer projects to a general liability insurance company. We hope that you've found their process to be satisfactory thus far and we’ll continue to assist them as needed. > > We have many clients who hire us again and again and have provided glowing recommendations. We take our work and client satisfaction very seriously and will continue to do so. > > Thank you, > Monarch & Maker ## Selected projects - [Sophisticated Soft Glam](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/sophisticated-soft-glam-pj-vj~7218077) - Location: Montgomery, TX - Photos: 36 - Description: This Sophisticated Glam Lake Villa is nestled within the exclusive grounds of Bluejack National, meticulously crafted by none other than legend golfer Tiger Woods.
