small condo renovation design

Jay helped me re-design several areas of a small downtown loft. In particular, a tiny kitchen. He helped me understand what the kitchen needed and how I might achieve that. A suggestion, for instance, to move the fridge and create a separate cupboard for it, completely opened up the area and actually made the space flow like a much larger kitchen and increased the workspace amazingly.

Another idea to partially open one wall made an incredible difference that I couldn't have imagined and never would have thought of doing. The kitchen is now modern and open and extraordinarily functional for such a small condo.

He also helped me word the condo renovation application and made some wonderful suggestions for work throughout the condo, particularly with increasing storage without losing valuable space. His ideas always kept my budget in mind, but reached out creatively to add interest and fun with functionality in spite of tight funds.

I had some visions of my own but no clue how to apply them successfully. Jay listened completely and helped me realize those ideas, generally with additional suggestions that made them much more practical. Jay let me run with my creative dreams, but always added in that one more thought that made the condo work more usefully as well as more aesthetically

Throughout the project he supported me when I struggled with the contractors and communication. He returned to the site whenever I needed help or had a question. If I'd had the budget, I would have had him oversee the whole thing and stepped aside, but since I didn't, it was such a relief to know I could call him for help and advice. This was a small budget project to him, but not to me yet I always felt he would do whatever was necessary to make it work out for me. Initially I was going to do this on my own. I am so thankful I turned to Jay and House Call Renovation and could not recommend him more highly.

Thanks Sara for the great review. The success of this project, much like any project -- whether large or small, is really the result of achieving a truly balanced collaborative dialogue between my client and myself. While the end result was a wonderful accomplishment for Sara, for me the entire journey was both enjoyably challenging and very satisfying. I'm almost sorry it's over..... Best, Jay
