Handicap-Accessible Design Companies in Lothian

“Joni Zimmerman designed our kitchen as part of a recent whole house renovation. My husband and I had purchased a 20 year old home that was in need of an update, and our architect, Cathy Purple Cherry, recommended Joni to design our kitchen. We are so thrilled that we followed her recommendation. At the first meeting, Joni wanted to learn who we were and how we would live in the space. Throughout the process, Joni considered functionality, style, and budget, and she listened to us closely. I am no decorator. I know what I like when I see it, but getting there can be a challenge for me. Joni knew exactly how to guide me when I was stumped. The end result is a kitchen that we absolutely love and that is completely us. I probably spend more time there than anywhere else in the house. Joni is a professional, a gifted designer, an exceptional listener (thus a kitchen that is our style), and we highly recommend her to anyone in search of a kitchen or bath designer.”

“The team at AKA listened to our project goals, made fantastic suggestions for features we had not thought of, and ultimately designed a kitchen for us that we love so much (both looks and functionality) that we hired them to do second one!!”

“We hired Ellene to draw a plan for our home renovation, which involved enlarging our kitchen, enclosing a sunroom, and reconfiguring an existing den. While other neighbors with the same model house had done projects to expand their kitchens, we wanted to use the combined space to get an additional bedroom, small bathroom, and larger kitchen while at the same time only reducing the den slightly. After taking measurements, Ellene spent hours discussing with us how we could best use the space to meet our needs. She asked detailed questions to make sure we would have adequate storage, that the kitchen would conveniently accommodate appliances large and small, and that the new layout would work for our busy family. She was a valuable resource as we made decisions about types of appliances, pantry design, and much more. Five years after the renovation was completed, I can say the money we paid Ellene (just a tiny percentage of the total project!) was money very well spent. We are thrilled with the kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and den, and at no point have I said "I wish I would have done X, Y, or Z differently." I have gotten Ellene's input on other home improvements since then, and she always adds a valuable perspective and is a pleasure to work with.”

“Finesse was amazing! They remodeled our kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, installed a new HVAC, all new internal doors, some new windows, blew out a wall and put in new French doors, moved our washer/dryer upstairs and built new closets and storage space. We had multiple rooms that were stripped down to the studs and the floor and tile was replaced We have two children under the age of 4 and lived in the house with them and our dog through the whole thing and they made it possible. The people who work with them are amazing! They came early, stayed late and often worked on weekends. Elizabeth has great taste and worked with our taste and our budget to get what we wanted. Finesse stayed within budget and timeline even though we added items! We still have some things we'd like to do and hope to work with Finesse in the future!”

“We found VKB to be a great choice for our full master bathroom remodel. They provided their estimate quickly and out of the 3 other quotes we received for this project they were the least expensive. The work was done with care, especially the tile work, which took longer than expected but only because the workers were careful and meticulous with their detail. We were short some tile, and in these cases they clearly told me what I needed to go get, which was much appreciated. The allowances in the budget for the fixtures and mirrors and such were generous; in fact, we decided to buy our own at Home Depot and received a credit. We relied on VKB to arrange the vanity/counter and shower door, both of which came out much better than expected. My only criticism would be a few minor details were missed, such as the drawer hardware, which came later and had to be installed separately. Overall, however, we were very happy with VKB and would certainly look to them again if we were considering any other work.”

“Gabriela was our project manager for our kitchen and master bath remodel (in addition to a couple of smaller projects). She was a delight to work with in every way: design sense, knowledge of all aspects of the project including plumbing and electrical, problem solving, and listening to our ideas. The work took about four months, not including the preconstruction meetings, and Gabriela made the whole process a pleasure? She has high standards and did not hesitate to argue for us when things did not live up to them. I would not hesitate for one minute to use Gabriela for our next project. She is a consummate professional.”

“The best designer I could ever have hoped for! Style, class, imagination, creativity, attention to detail and flair are just some of Grandior's qualities. Daniel was with me every step of the way in picking out the best products for my master bath remodel. I am grateful I found him at the beginning of the process with my cabinets because that set the stage for all that followed, from flooring and shower tile, to faucets and hardware. Daniel made me feel like my project was a top priority for him. And, he provided countless graphic designs for cabinetry options that included exact measurements. Daniel is a jolly good fellow and a pleasure to work with.”

“So pleased with all aspects of the project. Austin took my rambling ideas and formed them into an island and seating area that is not only functional but a beautiful addition. A very professional company with skilled workers and management. They were not only easy to work with but cared about the results. I highly recommend them.”

“Pat and Shari of Woodburn's were great to work with. We had two bathrooms and a kitchen updated with custom cabinets. Looking forward to having our Mudroom done next.”

“Savena's firm custom designed and built two projects for me - a wall-long master closet, and a challenging solution to a room set off only by an exposed structural column. The first project was beautifully executed, and seemed magically to double my closet space due to the ingenious understanding of space. The second project resulted in a frame with an elegant arch which is now the most striking feature of my living room. They are wonderful ... as well as under budget. The more recent work is pictured below in my amateur photo of the arch work; also see the "before" photo of what became the master closet they feature here. The price below includes the cost of both projects.”
