Handicap-Accessible Design Companies in Ann Arbor

“I approached Meadowlark with the need for a significant renovation to transform a poorly laid out bathroom/spa into a safe, first floor accessible bathroom suite for an elderly client/friend following a fall and broken hip. I laid out an aggressive goal of compressing the design/build schedule as my friend would need to remain in a rehab center while the project was completed. The following business day Meadowlark’s President Melissa Kennedy met me on site and brought their head of construction, and project manager ready to get to work. (I was impressed). I provided them with a clear scope of work and challenged them on how much they could compress the schedule as we needed the project finished yesterday. Eight weeks later we brought my friend home from rehab to a much safer, redesigned home. The eight weeks included both the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. At the top of the list of Meadowlark’s strengths are their people and leadership, and willingness to challenge themselves. Most contractors would have politely explained that my goals were unachievable. Second would be their handling of inevitable issues that arise in any remodeling project. I can’t say enough about Sarah Petersen, our Project Manager, who was key. A firm is only as good as their employees and pool of contractors, especially in our circumstances, and Meadowlark has a pool of high quality contractors. As we neared the completion concerns arose about everything being ready for a safe return home, and Melissa and Sarah met me onsite on a Sunday morning to review remaining work. The relationships Meadowlark has with their contractors became clear by how contractors responded to insure final details were completed. Meadowlark was also able to include refinishing the home’s wood floors and incorporate a new powder room and laundry facilities to the project scope without delaying the schedule. Due to the circumstances the project was structured on a time and materials basis. There are few contractors I would trust with this arrangement on something this size. While transparency could have been improved I am satisfied with the resulting total costs and Meadowlark deserved every penny of the margin earned on this project. Overall A+.”

“Elizabeth was recommended to us by our realtor. We recently bought a condo in Dexter, MI, and needed help with the decor and furniture. Elizabeth came over, measured and made a plan with beautiful options to choose from. She is very good with figuring out the best size and scale of pieces to make the room visually appealing as well as comfortable to be in. She deals with everything from windows to furnishings, rugs and wallpaper, paint and custom bookshelves. She also has connections to carpenters and painters who did a fantastic job for us as well! We were so happy with our experience that we asked her to help us with our other condo in Avon Lake, OH! She is not only our designer, but has become a friend! We highly recommend her!”

“RL Concetti does an amazing job working with their clients. They listen to your needs and really take all of them into consideration when designing your space. They also came up with ideas that we didn’t discuss but were relevant to my project. I worked with Rachel on another project years ago so she was my first choice for this one. I was paired with Taylor who was a dream to work with … our personalities clicked. The team at RL Concetti is awesome!! I will definitely use them again in the future & recommend their services!!”
