Kitchen and Basement Renovation

I used JDesigners to renovate my kitchen and basement; work was exceptionally completed, and price was very reasonable for the specific requirements I outlined. Being in the Real Estate business, I have since recommended them to my clients and will continue to do so with confidence.

Basement Renovation

Rizo, who is finisning a great job on my basement and friendly guy, plus he has many idea to make your basement look better with more space. His other workers are friendly and working. They are responsible person and make sure everything clean before they leave from the work area. Thanks Riz and J. Designers.

Basement Renovation

The basement renovation done by Jdesigners ( Rizzo & group ) was exceptional. Good workmanship, very polite and clean. Tries to accommodate all the requests. We were very happy with the project. Also, Rizzo added some extra design which increased the outlook of the basement. I would recommend their team for any big renovation project.

Textured Ceilings

We cannot offer enough praise for J Designers Inc. Talk about professionalism and quality work! Rizzo and his crew far exceeded our expectations and we very much appreciated the work they did for us. We will gladly recommend them to family and friends and will definitely have them back to do more work in our home.
We wanted to refresh two of our popcorn ceilings due to a small leak and had asked J Designers Inc to re-spray our ceiling. The quote we received from Rizzo was very reasonable and we booked with him. Each and every question I asked via phone or email was responded to immediately and very efficiently.
They arrived promptly at the arranged time. The crew took great care to prep before the spraying. The ceilings looked good and they were done in the estimated time and payment was made.
Two days later, Rizzo surprised us by arriving at our home to see how the product had dried as his crew had indicated they did not think it had covered well. Upon review, he was not happy with the result and offered to re-spray our ceilings free of charge. We had not contacted him to tell him that we were not happy…this was something he did on his own and was just his way of ensuring his customers are pleased with the end product. Upon request Rizzo used all zero VOC materials.
We had another expected problem but it was Rizzo to the rescue. To sum it up, we cannot express our thanks enough to Rizzo and J Designers Inc and highly recommend their services.

BASEMENT RENOVATION

We were delighted with our experience with JDesigners Inc. The initial meeting, quotation, workmanship and after care follow up was handled very professionally. Our Basement Renovation exceeded our expectations in terms of cost, quality workmanship and schedule. No Need to shop around - Hire this company for your basement project. Every time we enter our basement, we are amazed at the quality workmanship that JDesigners Inc. did for us! Rizzo and his team are professional and polite with abundant design talent. Not to mention they cleaned up after every shift and answered our calls. We highly recommend this company to our friends and family.

We loved the designer and her design. She was very patient and detailed. What sold us was the computer generated design. Loved working with Rizzo. Always on time (7am). Definitely recommend them. Prefer if he started at 8 though :)

Basement Renos

Very Disappointed. A 4 day job has taken over 1 month to complete. (Ceramic/Laminate Floors and Trim for less than 1000sq.ft) Payment was taken off of my credit card without authorization for work that was not completed and I had to fire him because the quality of work was terrible and now I am out the cost to replace the low quality work that was done. I do not recommend this company. There is a reason why the prices are reasonable.

I would like to add to the company response below. The 4 day job started out fine. Mon and Tues laminate was installed. The tile guy didnt come until Sat which meant no other work can be done so tiles can set. I was never informed that the flooring purchased was brittle and no good. It is a 10mm for a basement.So this is a not true. In addition to that, I also have pictures of the trim that was installed and damaged. All of the material was in the same room so if they looked at what was being installed you would see that there was casing for the doors and baseboard trim for the floors. I am not a contractor so I dont know that they uses baseboard around the doors. The garbage that he replied to, was the garbage that him and his tile guy left behind, not to mention the spilled coffee on the newly installed laminate to sit until I went down to inspect. It would have been nice to have them clean up after themselves but that must be the home owners job I guess. The most important part of this is the illegal charge to my credit card. I have a signed contract that said that my card would not be charged until after the job is complete. My card was charged before the floors were even completed, nevermind the trim. I did not sign for the job and I am thinking now that maybe this could be something for BBB to get involved in.

Sorry that we disappointed you but would definitely like to explain what had happened and what my clients could have done to prevent all this. The flooring was installed in 4 days (laminate floors and ceramic tiles). Laminate that they bought was so brittle and cheap that it kept on breaking so was ceramic. They stepped on freshly set tiles thus shifting few of them. Its the trim that caused most of the delays. They bought two different kinds of trims but failed to mention that to us. First day to install trims, we came across non sanded walls, doors missing door jambs, home made 1" door shims. We asked them to sand the walls for better finish. Second day we went to install trims; we came across all rooms full of garbage and their tools all over. Third and final day, they misplaced screws and gone to work without any instructions. Then when we ran out of material upon when I called them and asked them for more material. My clients asked me to buy it from home depot. I told her that we had been there for three times and cannot do this for $375. She not only did not pay us for all trims we installed but also left negative review. We took the pictures and made a small movie in case someone wants to see it.

Riz provided a reasonable cost. They did the job on time, communicated well (timing of changes, arrival time/departure), provided suggestions throughout the project and did an amazing job cleaning up. Would definitely hire them again!
