When someone came to my house recently and asked, "Now that the kitchen is done, is there anything you would have changed?" I could honestly say no. Why? Because Susan thought of everything ahead of time. She took our multi-page wish list, distilled it to its essence, asked the right questions, and created something that is at once beautiful AND functional and unique to us. Our young adult children returned home to the renovated kitchen, took one look and said, "This couldn't be anyone else's kitchen but yours Mom." Susan understands what it means to LIVE in a house, to use it - not just look at it or hand it off to someone to function within it. No, she gets it. "A place for everything, everything in its place."
Was it more than we thought we would spend before we started? No question. (But it's inevitable to have a little sticker shock when faced with real life labor and material costs after creating a price in our own minds based on nothing but fantasy.) But Susan and her team were organized, upfront and very clear with communication, sign-offs and schedules. And so while it was expensive, it was also not a surprise. There were NO surprises on this job. AND, it is true - you get what you pay for. So - while maybe I could have gotten it done cheaper, they more than earned their fees by being reliable, professional, on-time, clean, safe, and easy to work with. Peace of mind is truly priceless.
I highly recommend Savvy and all of their subs who were wonderful to work with and absolutely masterclass in...
Read moreWords can’t even describe how grateful and pleased I am that Susan and her team at Savvy took me on in the final stages of my home remodel to bring it to the finish line. The company name is beyond fitting- Susan’s ability to understand me and my needs in just a 20min consult, then turn & translate that to her team is truly a GIFT is what makes them just “Savvy”. They were able to dive into a project, from which they did not start with at the beginning and easily to jump in to learn what I was after & most importantly what I was missing. With expert knowledge and their ability for client-focused insight, they worked fast with a detailed and logical approach. Nothing wasn’t addressed. Communication incredible. Actions from words spoken executed successfully. Renderings that just spoke directly to me. Susan and her team, with Romy at the helm, guided me through some key final decisions to end my project on a positive & exciting note. It’s like they knew what I needed more than I even did. I could recommend them...
