“I have worked with Tina Muller in Drury Design to remodel 4 spaces: kitchen, powder room, hall bath and master bath. I have to say, Tina is exceptional to work with. She is also very personable, understanding and patient with clients. Our old space was old and gloomy. We had been in the house for 7-8 years. With so many inspirations we found at Houzz.com and all the magazines, we could not decide exactly what our style is: traditional, modern, contemporary, ... as we like a little bit of everything, but most of all simple, functional, beautiful. Naturally, the design requirements we had given out to Tina for our relevant small-space kitchen and bath were functional, spacious and elegantly zen. On top of that, I had also requested lots of storage in all the spaces so we can keep things away yet accessible easily. I am very impressed with Tina and her work. She was able to sort through and filter our input to pinpoint what our style is in 2 appointments (the free consultation appointment and the subsequent appointment). In the subsequent appointments, we were able to tweak the design to meet all our needs. As we went through the entire process, Tina always made herself available to us with additional design needs, shopping, and picking out the right wall colors. Additionally, the Drury Design is a full-service design firm that I also utilized for project management, installation services. They work with high quality partners and suppliers for my appliances, granite, tiles, lighting needs... Here is a little secret: They really do stand by their projects, products, and services. You get what you pay for and you do pay for quality work and product but they don't nickel and dime you per hour. Thinking back, it was an ambitious project. We are very thankful to work with such a professional team. Tina and the Drury Design team has transformed our 25-year-old house into a beautiful, relaxing, inviting space. We are very happy with the work, the team and the services.”

“Chi Renovation remodeled my bathroom, refinished the hardwood floors, and painted all the walls. I'm very meticulous and, consequently, I am NOT an easy customer. So, when a job is done with superior quality, I want to acknowledge it and give full credit. Background I live in a 1-bedroom, Gold Coast condo that's about 700 Sq Ft. I hadn't updated it in 10 years and was really ready for change. I decided to refinish the wood floors, paint all the walls, and completely remodel the bathroom. I consulted with and received bids from 3 companies before choosing Chi-Renovation. Superior Advice & Direction Since I wasn't sure exactly what I wanted to do to the bathroom or the colors I would choose for the walls, I was open to suggestions. The Chi-Renovation Project Manager showed me pictures and asked questions to be better understand my tastes, how I would use the space, and my vision. He then gave me great recommendations regarding color and design elements and did most of the shopping for me. For example: He brought tile, accent options, and wood finishes to my home based on my preferences. He sent photographs of options for the fixtures, toilet, tub, etc. This was incredibly helpful because I don't have a car nor the time to do that kind of running around. I was pleased and impressed with the advice and direction that he gave me. He also met with the chief engineer for my building at the beginning of the project to manage all of the technical stuff. He made the process VERY easy for me. Exceptional Crew I was also impressed with the caliber of their expert craftsmen. The custom vanity and cabinets that they made are absolutely beautiful and fit perfectly despite the awkward constraints of the space. The tilework is like art -- beautiful and flawless. And, the refinished hardwood floors look like new. Perfect! And, they completed everything in just 4 weeks! Why Chi Renovation & Design? TRUST... Before witnessing any of their work in my own space, I chose them because after seeing examples of their work and speaking to them, I trusted that they would do what they said they would do when they said they would do it and that they would do it with integrity (in terms of their professional conduct and the materials they used): On Budget - On Time - Highest Quality. I appreciated having the Project Manager (who also provided wonderful design direction) as a central point of contact for all elements of the project and their entire crew proved worthy of my trust... so much so that I felt comfortable taking a mini out-of-state vacation for the last week of the project while they painted the walls and refinished the floors. The Cost I was quoted $12,600 for the work (and that included basic building materials). I paid an additional $4,700 for my custom vanity and cabinets, tempered glass sink, brushed nickel fixtures (for the sink, tub, and shower), and tile. The price was reasonable given my vision for the space, the types design elements that I chose, and the quality of the work.”

“Melinda was invaluable as we began our kitchen remodel. Navigating the process of designing an IKEA kitchen - that doesn’t look like an IKEA kitchen - is not easy to do on your own. Melinda’s experience really came through in a thoughtful design that balances our small-ish space and need for ample storage with a custom look. She brought us numerous ideas that we never would have come up with on our own and helped us land on a final option that is both beautiful and functional. She represents an outstanding value and we have already started referring her to family and friends. Don’t hesitate to partner with her on your next project, she’s awesome!”

“Denise became like a welcome member of our family: I always felt that I could call her with questions or concerns and she would take pains to understand exactly what I wanted and would act immediately upon it. She is the consummate professional, but personable and a great hand holder. She has a wonderfully creative eye and came up with ideas that never would have occurred to me and went beyond every other designer's suggestions. I love my kitchen, thanks to her, and would not hesitate to use her for any project, any where.”

“I used Planet Cabinets and was extremely happy with them from the beginning to the end. The staff is very attentive, suggested creative ideas to help maximize space, and always cleaned up after themselves. Their pricing was very competitive with many of the other places we checked out. I would definitely recommend this highly professional company.”

“All of the designers at Geneva Cabinet Company are knowledgable and experienced. They are able to fit any budget and can design whatever I need.”

“Dream Kitchens has quality products that will fit anyone's budget. I wanted great quality cabinetry with a lifetime warranty, but not spend a lifetime paying for them. Everyone to this day walks into my kitchen and says "WOW!". No one believes I did it in 2003. The design is timeless, the products are state-of-the-art, and I can officially say I LOVE MY KITCHEN!”

“They quickly designed and built the house of our dreams in just 6 months. I would recommend them to anyone looking to build or renovate their home.”

“This was an amazing example of when a professional know what they are doing, their product(s) and pays attention to the details, EVERYTHING goes right! Colette was always prepared, creative and on top of all aspects of the project. She handled all the components of our new kitchen i.e. cabinets, appliances, counter tops, custom stonework etc. It all came together seamlessly. Now I get to enjoy the best new kitchen in Chicago!”
