**★★★★★ — bankofaltoids99, Nov. 2016**

> We worked with Meredith to scope out a large project for our home. She was extremely professional and thorough and provided us with a wealth of information. She was also very helpful in getting clear information from the city regarding permits and timelines. We can't recommend her highly enough!

**★★★★★ — itoverdrive, Dec. 2015**

> Meredith at Charlie M designed a beautiful and perfectly functional combination office-guest room space for us. Working with Meredith was fun and effortless, and she listened carefully to our needs and aesthetics. She created a space that is very useful, fun to work in, and very much "us" -- and it far exceeds what we could have created on our own. She also worked within our budget. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat.

**★★★★★ — Addition Building & Design, Inc., Feb. 2015**

> Meredith has tremendous attention to detail. Because of her hard work, the construction can be completed with few change orders - once work begins - big advantage to homeowners.
> Her drawings are well thought out with excellent elevations enabling her clients to visualize the projected finished product.
> We look forward to many projects in 2015 with Meredith & Co!

**★★★★★ — millervelt, Nov. 2014**

> Meredith at Charlie M. helped my family helped us transform our worn, outdated, and unfinished driveway and garage into a in/outdoor fitness-work-play space for the whole family. Her planning, pricing, and sourcing wizardry made it possible for us to finally (FINALLY!) take the first hesitant steps into the world of remodeling. Meredith worked to fully understand our vision, added her professional know-how and industry connections, and rolled out a short and long term plan beautifully. She's on the list of must-hires for our next project.

**★★★★★ — Horizon Builders, Inc., Dec. 2013**

> I was the general contractor on a project in Palm Desert for Meredith, Charlie M Designs.  She was always prompt with meetings.  She came with all the details that I needed to complete the project.  She was organized and had the materials that I needed for the job on time.    Being a design build contractor I felt that she had an excellent eye for details.   The overall design palate for the project including colors and quality of materials she picked out for this project came together with outstanding end result.  I would highly recommend her as a professional interior designer and hope to work with her again in the future.

**★★★★★ — tlsanders79, Dec. 2013**

> I am design challenged and when it came time to makeover our home I knew we needed help! Charlie M was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to make sure we got the exact look we wanted in our nursery and livingroom. We really appreciated the hands on approach.  Charlie M was thorough and was involved at every stage making sure we were getting exactly what we wanted and promptly addressing our questions.  My husband and I work long hours and at the time I was pregnant so it was great working with someone detail oriented and reliable.  Charlie M was upfront about the cost as well and designed the rooms to meet our budget. We are so happy with the results and love showing them off to our guests!

**★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2013**

> “We were delighted with Meredith Pominville of Charlie M.  She came up with creative and cost-effective design and lighting solutions to make the best of our home’s unusual layout as well as our modest budget.  Without moving any walls, she managed to make our living room more livable and our dining area more conducive to entertaining.  She managed to harmoniously combine our love of African art with our taste for contemporary design. This is particularly true in Alan’s home office space, where he wanted clients of his new company, Infinite Safari Adventures (www.infinitesafariadventures.com) to be presented not with boring office furniture but an environment that could also effectively display and light ethnic artifacts and wildlife photography.  Meredith took an interest in all the details.  She consistently provided us with progress reports and was always on time and on budget.  We’ll call her again when we are ready to work on the rest of the house!”

**★★★★★ — jmcautpar, Nov. 2013**

> What can we say about Meredith of Charlie M, other than she is fabulous.  We started working with her in 2006 to remodel the outside of our house.  Since then, we hired her again in 2011 to remodel 2 bathrooms and our kitchen and then again in 2012 to remodel our Master bathroom/closet area.   Meredith has an ability to listen to our likes and dislikes and create a vision of what works with our style, tastes, color scheme, and budget.  She is patient and attentive and extremely easy to work with.  What I appreciated most was she never forced her opinion on us, they were offered but if we felt strongly about a direction we wanted the project to go she worked with that and made it all look amazing.  We highly recommend working with Meredith!

They’d done a major renovation twenty years before and now were looking for a different feel, a way to express themselves more intimately than before.

  - Description: We started with a cosmetic exterior re-design of a tract home and ended up with a complete structural facelift of the existing facade and landscape. See included “before” shot to see where we started and where we ended up. Because of structural defects discovered during demolition, we brought on a structural engineer to assist with re-footing the entire front of the garage entrance.

  - Description: Client invited us to completely rehab this Eagle Rock fixer from soup to nuts. Property was original 1960s ranch complete with claustrophobic galley kitchen, outdated popcorn ceilings, ratty wall-to-wall carpeting and massive eight foot aluminum slider windows. Structurally, we removed part of the bearing wall to create a Greatroom that would allow for a much expanded kitchen, smaller dining room and open living room. The entire house is only 1334 square feet, but the result is a flowing, airy s…
