Universal Designers in Aurora

“Bay City custom homes recently completed a major renovation in my home. Work was done professionally, on time, and on budget. Every detail was given high priority and the final product exceeded my initial expectations. My father in law was so impressed by their work that he hired them to do an addition on his home and the end result was equally perfect. I will use this company again for future renovations.”

“July 2016 Our house is now several years complete. As I walk thorugh the house, I'm grateful that Phil was able to work with us. It's amazing how the little touches that he suggested throughout the house enhances our living experience. Instead of using the main hallway, the kids love the passage way to each other's bedrooms. The kitchen you designed for us is practical, spacious, and loved! Really looking forward to working with you again on another project. If you are looking for someone who will put your vision on paper, I HIHGLY recommend Phil and his team. Update January 26,2013 We are now about 5-6 months into the actual construction. It has been interesting to see Phil's design take shape. We have made very few adjustments to the actual design. In our numerous discussions of how to place the house, Phil has done a great job. We will have incredible amounts of sunlight flowing through the main living areas of the house during the day-ESPECIALLY during the winter months. At night, the bedrooms will be nicely sheltered by the winds that at times blow very briskly across the property. Great Job! These are the fine details that Phil was able to capture for us, which we didn't even think about. I know that Phil had told us about the ceiling details during the design stage and for a non artistic person it was difficult for me to envision. Having seen it framed and how it fits with the arches through the hallway, and how at the end of the hallway, it is framed by a window that offers an incredible view, I have to say- I am truly impressed by Phil's attention to details. Thnx Phil! We worked with Phil recently. Phil was able to effectively listen to our needs/wishes and put our ideas into a design that we are very happy with. In terms of time, Phil and Matt were readily available for help and advice, often outside of "normal" work hours. They were willing to help in providing us with information about other trades that will help us achieve our goals. We have also shown the design to several builders for planning and logistics purposes and the general feedback has been that the design is coherent and well thought out. We will certainly call on Phil and Mat to do future work. It was a fabulous work relationship and I would highly recommend them to my friends and family. Thanks Guys! Note: If I could give a 4.8 on Houzz, I would certainly do so but unfortunately, I can only give 4 or 5 stars. They are not perfect, but pretty darn close.”

“We worked with Jo Redman in building our home. She listened to our vision for the space, and then brought them to life in ways that were better than we ever imagined. Jo Redman ensured that our open plan house achieved a cohesive, unified look. She has excellent working relationships with suppliers and trades, which ensured that all parties involved in building our home were pulling together on this project.”

“Recently I purchased my first apartment with my boyfriend. Because I had never decorated my own place before I was very confused with colour choices and on what wall each colour should be on. Lori was beyond the most helpful, patient and knowledgeable interior decorate I have ever come across. She explained to me how the sun can come in at certain angles making the colour choices I picked looking very different than the colour samples. Because of her she made our apartment feel like a home rather than a stepping stone till our next place. I couldn’t have done it without her help!”

“We engaged Staples Design Group to change the interior of our new home from modern to a more traditional look to compliment the exterior design of the home. We also used them to finish the basement space to compliment the new traditional look on the upper floors. They managed the whole process from design, contractor selection, pricing, paint colors, furniture and accessories and project management. They did an exceptional job, on time, on budget and we were completely satisfied. I would strongly recommend their services to others.”

“Over the course of the Spring of 2013, Revi Mula of Monaco Interiors helped us to design and renovate our basement. Revi was very easy to work with, very professional, and was a good listener. I had strong ideas of my own, and Revi was willing to incorporate them into the overall design of our space. At each phase of construction, Revi would create her drawings and then consult with us about them. We had a large, unfinished and open space, to start with. Revi hired only the best, most highly-skilled tradesmen to do everything for us, from the ductwork to the framing, drywalling and painting, electrical work, flooring, and everything in between. Revi cares about her firm's reputation and she will only work with people who are honest, hardworking and trustworthy and who do the job properly, and in a timely manner. The work space was kept clean, which mattered to us. We ended up with a very pleasing design for a practical work/play area that feels spacious and bright, yet uses every inch of space in a functional way. We now have an extra 3-piece bath, a closet below stairs, a walk-in pantry, a work/studio area, a beautiful seating/sleeping area with gas fireplace, book shelves and big-screen tv, and a games area as well as a new furnace room. Revi respected our budget and found us beautiful materials and furnishings that suited our style. Her tradespeople are very conscientious and and clearly have a good working relationship with Revi. She oversaw the work and made home visits at regular intervals for consultations and to check on the work. She maintains the highest standards for workmanship and final product, and any small problems were dealt with quickly and efficiently. Revi returned my phone calls and emails promptly, so our communication was excellent. I know that if you want good results, you have to work with people who take real pride in their work, and that's exactly what you get with Monaco Interiors. I would not hesitate to give Monaco Interiors the highest recommendation and have already referred them to some friends. We had a wonderful experience with Monaco Interiors and I would be delighted to work with them in future, should we need any more work done.”

“Being a sales professional myself I can appreciate and recognize exceptional service.. With Stacey its evident from first meeting. Communication, insight, expertise, experience.. all things that are a must when looking for any professional and this case kitchens and vanities! Not only am I a client and I refer her services to any and all my clients and with great confidence that she will not only meet the expectations but surpass them. Anyone is always free to come see any of her work in my home.”

“Chris from Velusina was patient with me and my requests. He worked with my idea's for what the kitchen would look like and added his own touches that I didn't realize wouldn't work. The Velusina crew were always on time and professional. Right now I'm just saving up so that I can get Velusina back to work on the rest of my home because the rest of the house looks incomplete. Thanks Chris for everything, can't wait to see what else you can do.”

“We employed New Concept to redo two bathrooms and a laundry room while we were away on a trip Their work and work ethics were excellent We received daily updates on the work preformed each day If there was questions they were immediately answered On our return we found the workmanship of a very high standard Totally would recommend this company to anyone that asks”

“Natalie Froom handled the entire project with care and with knowledge that helped us have two extremely well designed and most functional lovely bathrooms in all aspects. The entire project was handled and completed on schedule and whilst we were out of the country. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED Tony and Phyllis Lasarow.”
