“Laurel Feldman was the interior designer and detail "go-to" person on our project. The project included gutting and re-designing the kitchen and decorating the living room, dining room and entry hall. Some of the new design consisted of opening walls in both the living room and dining room and creating a space where the kitchen is open and it all flows from one room to another. Laurel also designed a wall of built-in cabinets for the living room along with cabinetry and shelving for the dining room. She was also involved in re-designing the lighting, new flooring and removing wood paneling from the entire area. And of course...after all that...Laurel chose paint colors, wallpaper, light fixtures, furniture and accessories for our new space. Her knowledge and attention to detail enhanced all the choices she brought to us...always listening to what we wanted and making sure our thoughts balanced with the look we were envisioning. Laurel was able to help us use all our personal things that we wanted to exhibit and make our traditional favorite things work in our new mid-century modern space. She also helped us accessorize by picking some new items that soon became as comfortable to us as if we owned them forever. It was this personalization of finishing the project that made the difference. She envisioned the outdoors and surrounding ravines of our property as being part of the decor and helped us bring the outside indoors for us. It is a pleasure to come home every single day to the space that Laurel helped us create!”

“I could not be happier with the bathroom and minor kitchen remodel that Chi Renovation & Design did for me. After shopping around for a little bit, I decided to go with them because they were the most professional and genuine when I met them for an estimate. I was impressed from the very beginning by how responsive they were. Normally, I hate it when I need to “work” for a company to get back to me or just correspond in general. But all of my phone calls and emails were returned within half an hour, which for a company in this industry, I can say from past experiences is really rare! Overall the quality of their work is very good. I have seen and worked with other contractors, and I have found Chi Renovation & Design's work to be much better. I particularly liked that they assigned a designer to my project. This was included in the cost. They showed me samples, so I could pick out all the materials. The designer was really good, and I have a beautiful bathroom and kitchen as a result. The proportions are all perfect, and everything is very functional. They were extremely competent and good at what they do. The professionalism of everyone I've worked with was remarkable. Lior has a lot of experience and was able to give me lots of cost-efficient and creative suggestions on what he thought would work for my space. He re-did my entire bathroom and knocked down a wall in our kitchen. He was very patient with answering all of my questions and thorough with the initial estimate he gave. One suggestion in particular proved to be extremely helpful and that was his advice to knock down a wall that was creating an awful divide in our kitchen. Once we got rid of it, the kitchen transformed into a much more open and sophisticated space. Another thing I was very pleased with was how timely and neat they were, I really appreciated that. I trusted having them around and they did an excellent job. I'm very happy with everything and would definitely recommend them”

“Christine‘s team was amazing! I loved working with all of them, and especially with Christine herself. She was able to understand my eclectic tastes ( no small feat), provide me options that I wouldn’t have otherwise thought of, and create two bathrooms that are now my favorite rooms in the house. Her style, design tastes, and professionalism set her apart from other designers that I have worked with in the past. She took control, ran the show, and left me without one ounce of worry. It was a first! I cannot recommend Christine and her team enough. You won’t be disappointed.”
