Fears Or Concerns

They did the project the way we wanted it done. They made the changes we asked for with no fuss or bother and they completed the project way ahead of schedule. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Why ADS?

Why ADS? - We talked with several contractors before selecting Advance Design Studio. Their presentation was the most well rounded and was an important factor in selecting Advance Design Studio for our bathroom remodeling project.

Needs And Desires

Needs And Desires - Our designer Anna Leimann was a pleasure to work with. She listened to what we wanted to do and came up with a cabinet design, and tile choices for wall and flooring, giving us options to choose from. All in all, a very satisfactory experience.

Project Proposal

Project Proposal - We knew going into the project almost exactly what it would cost us to complete it.

Project Manager Communication

Project Manager Communication - We had good communications with the Project Manager. However the Builder Trend program needs to be reviewed carefully so that everyone using it really understands it's usage. Once everyone is familiar with the program it will be an acceptable program to use for communication and updated for all parties involved in a project.

Sub-Contractors - Professionalism - The sub-Contractor were a great group of people to work with everyone was knowledgeable and completed the portion of the project in a timely manner.

Ways To Improve

Ways To Improve - None.

Future Project with ADS - We will certainly consider them for any future projects.

We have just begun our remodeling project with ADS and don't feel that we have enough experience with them yet to recommend them to anyone. However, Carrie Galvez has been very helpful, patient, and considerate of our design ideas. She is the only person we have dealt with so far.

Investment Analysis

Investment Analysis - The initial analysis gave us a good idea of what to expect with the project. Giving us a range for pricing helped us decide our priorities.

Very easy to work with, flexible, understanding, and true professionals. Chris is very talented and provided us with excellent options. All you do-it-yourselfers - take a break and treat yourself and let these professionals take on your next remodel.

We contracted with Advance Design Studio for our primary bath remodel, after an in-depth research process.We were looking for a partnership with a proven company that had a stellar track record of true craftsmanship, creativity, integrity, and straightforward communication. Advance Design Studio promises and delivers “common sense remodeling”.

They employ solid, experienced, and talented professionals and the company is committed to ongoing development and improvement through engagement with trade management consulting firms like Remodelers Advantage. Every industry provides opportunities for improvement and we consider it a bonus that Advance Design Studio prioritizes skills refinement because it displays a commitment to innovation that benefits staff and customers.

Advance Design Studio provides consistent expertise and thoughtful, caring recommendations from initial design board layout to finish installation. Our experience has been that each interaction with individual team members was positive; this is a unique, considerate and kind group of professionals.

We highly recommend Advance Design Studio. In the past, we as homeowners have worked with other contractors on full basement, bathroom, kitchen remodels. Our only regret is that we did not find them sooner! We are delighted with our bathroom remodel, and the care and attention to detail from the team. We 100% endorse Advance Design Studio now and look forward to working with them on future projects.

Fears Or Concerns

Fears Or Concerns - We wanted to partner with an experienced Design Build company because our home is circa 1960 and has some very unique characteristics. Advance Design Studio was very diplomatic at addressing these issues and I would not hesitate to engage with them again.

Exceeding Expectations

Exceeding Expectations - The team is exceptional.

Why ADS?

Why ADS? - Please see comments above. We had a rigorous evaluation process on our end. We are experienced homeowners and have been through remodeling projects previously.

Ways To Improve

Ways To Improve - No--the duration of the project was long, but this is because of the supply chain and is completely out of Advance Design Studio control. We hope that this will improve (for everyone) as the industries stabilize post Covid.

Future Project with ADS

Future Project with ADS - Absolutely will, I already have a growing list. :)

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Advance Design Studio is great at: Communication. They are super responsive with calls and emails. They also encourage the use of BuilderTrend, an app that has the potential to streamline project management tasks and consolidate company-to-customer communications. We liked the app because it kept communications in one spot for us and for the Advance Design Studio folks. It probably reduces the need for change requests because of the enhanced communication which is a bonus for all. Design. Some projects are not straightforward. Our home is circa 1960-ish and has some creative features…. The team at Advance Design Studio is experienced enough to handle “interesting features” and recommend sensible solutions. We are so grateful for this talent. Flexibility. The supply chain is disrupted in many industries. Advance Design Studio is skilled at sourcing alternates and performed well under changing market conditions. Integrity. This is key. The team is respectful, hardworking, responsible, and patient. For example, during demolition (the loudest and most jarring part of a remodel), I had a high-pressure online presentation to deliver to senior executives. I was unable to find a safe, alternate location in time–this was during Covid lockdown and I was working from home. Our demo crew stopped the tear out for an hour so I could finish my presentation (which was successful, thank you very much). This type of respectful patience is incredibly important when you are building a long-term partnership with a design-build company. It may have delayed a short term schedule, but it has led to a long term trust, and I will not hesitate to work with this team again.

It has been an easy process. Everyone has listened to our needs. No stress

Why ADS?

Why ADS? - Worked with them before

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - They are the best and most amazing construction company I’ve ever worked with. Highly recommended

Workmanship

Workmanship - Project looks top knotch,!

Client Experience

Client Experience - Everyone we came in contact with throughout this project was very easy to work with.

Fears Or Concerns

Fears Or Concerns - My sister had a lot of trouble with communication when she remodeled. She was out of state. I knew the owners and their history. They live near us, their reputation is very good, and they are local.

Exceeding Expectations

Exceeding Expectations - The communication was great. As far as keeping us abreast of what was happening, the timeframe, what to do, and when to get our appliances ordered, everything fell into place very nicely. It took a while, but that was due to supply chain issues. They had no control over that; we had all the time in the world, so it was fine.

Why ADS?

Why ADS? - Advance Design Studio is local, and I loved the design. We ended up adding a little more remodeling than we thought, but I have no regrets about that. The way they responded from day one and how detailed the information was, I felt very comfortable with them.

Ways To Improve

Ways To Improve - The subcontractors were fine. They came in and did their work as promised. I don't have any suggestions. I would have loved to have it done in two weeks, but it was a full kitchen remodel.

Future Project with ADS

Future Project with ADS - If anything comes up, I will contact you.

Additional Comments

Why ADS?

Why ADS? - One stop shop for everything!

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Claudia is amazing!

We have been very pleased with our experience so far. We have changed our minds multiple times and Ewa has been so accommodating. We have never felt pressured to make a decision, but Ewa has kept us informed of price changes, lead times, etc. We are excited to get the project started!

Needs And Desires

Needs And Desires - We have asked for numerous changes and changed our minds so much throughout the process. Ewa always graciously makes the requested changes quickly.

The overall design experience was great. Designer Chris made the project memorable and would be the reason I would recommend the company to someone else. The project management and project build issues are what pulls down this rating.

Job well done. The project coordinator Ed and his work crew were very thorough and caring for our needs as far as the work goes. Ed, particularly is a very friendly person, like someone in the family.

Needs And Desires

Needs And Desires - Ewa Nowak was our designer. My wife and I take a long time to make up our minds and finalize decisions. Ewa stayed with us patiently for a long time working with updates and changes we made along the way till we came to a final proposal and contract. We recommend her to anyone in need of renovations. Her assistant Katie Esposito needs an honorable mention in this regard.

Project Proposal

Project Proposal - Too though!!

Investment Analysis

Investment Analysis - We did not use this tool.

Future Project with ADS

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Thanks to Craig, our neighbor for recommending ADS. Looking forward to the next job.

I would recommend ADS to a friend. The design to completion model is beneficial. The employees were helpful and professional and did quality work. Chris Low did a great job in helping to design my overall vision of my basement remodel. Jason Johnson did a good job of navigating through material delivery delays as well as his injuries he sustained to his team and himself to complete the project with only slight delays from the initial project timeline.

Advance Design never disappoints! This was our third project with them. We’ve already recommended them to our neighbors.
