I used Kelly and Chris for a major back yard pool project. They listened to what i wanted and acted as true partners throughout the project. They helped with building permits and acted as a good buffer with my contractor from the beginning to the end. First rate. I highly recommend Workshop 131. > > Tom Stahl **Comment from Workshop 131, Inc.:** > Thank you, Tom! We love the way you do modern! It's always a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — Worley Construction, Inc., Feb. 2018** > I have found their plans and specifications to be very complete and helpful in the pricing of the contact. As a General Contractor and the only Graduate Master Builder in Tallahassee, having your plans and specs complete is the backbone for accurate "front-end" cost. If you wish to have a satisfied client you need to set realist expectations, and that is accomplished with a complete set of plans and specs. I have found Workshop 131 to be responsive to all my questions and concerns. Your Favorite Builder, mark worley **Comment from Workshop 131, Inc.:** > Mark, > Thank you for your kind words. We very much appreciate them! It has been our mission to provide drawings that allow a thorough contractor, like yourself, to have as much detailed information as possible. We believe that defining design decisions and their technical implications early in the project are important and provide realistic expectations and parameters for each project. These decisions are integral in helping us all achieve the client’s vision of the project. Again, thank you and we look forward to working with you on many projects in the future! **★★★★★ — Dave Burlak, Nov. 2016** > Kelley was very professional and insightful in the planning and construction of my kitchen renovation project..my aim was for a 180 degree difference in appearance and it turned out exactly like that. I would highly recommend working with her. **★★★★★ — Robert Kneip, Sept. 2016** > Kelley took a dark, uninviting space and reimagined an open, airy room that has become a favorite spot for all of the family. **★★★★★ — Noreen Balido, Sept. 2016** > The team at Workshop 131 was fantastic. Kelly is top notch in design and professionalism, and their help in picking and supervising our contractor was of invaluable help. I would highly recommend them. **★★★★★ — Rachel Perrin Rogers, Sept. 2016** > I've worked with Workshop 131 on various projects in several houses over the years. They assisted with paint colors, lighting, tile, and rug selection. I am somewhat demanding and unpredictable and they were always professional and worked hard to ensure my needs were met and the end result was amazing. **★★★★★ — Lizbeth Childs, Sept. 2016** > Working with Kelley was wonderful. She communicates effortlessly and is very accessible for in person meetings, phone calls, and email. Kelley helped me with furniture, fabric, and paint selections. After reviewing all the choices for each category, I knew I needed a professional. We just love our new spaces! **★★★★★ — rfe2014, Aug. 2016** > Kelley did an amazing job on our kitchen remodel and other projects, including paint, wallpaper, and furniture for several living areas. We bought a house that had not been updated since it was built in the 1980s. Kelley helped us realize our vision of combining traditional and contemporary elements into a beautiful home. I recommend her and her husband, Chris without hesitation. ## Selected projects - [The Sweetwater House \| New Construction](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/the-sweetwater-house-new-construction-pj-vj~6470419) - Location: Blountstown, FL - Photos: 17 - Description: Our client approached us in need of a custom home design for an undeveloped property along one of Florida’s amazing rivers.
