PLEASANT, PROFESSIONAL, BETTER DESIGN SOLUTIONS  January 2016

Job: Condo Kitchen Remodel

Thank you for the time and effort you spent with my husband and me reviewing our original kitchen cabinet work order, which was recently done by another HD store.

While carefully reviewing the original work order, you found a number of mistakes (unbeknownst to us) that needed correcting; and you suggested other options, all resulting in better design solutions. Further, you guided us through the selection of our quartz countertop, new kitchen sink and GE range.

Going back to our first meeting, you stayed after hours to be sure our issues would be resolved right away. During our second meeting, you allowed adequate time to consult with us. In our opinion, you went above and beyond to make sure our work orders were complete, details were accurate, and our expectations were being met. You were pleasant, professional and extremely helpful. We are breathing a sigh of relief.

We will go online to complete the customer opinion survey. Home Depot management should be made aware that they have competent and caring employees like you! If we know of anyone looking for a knowledgeable kitchen designer, we will certainly refer them to you.

Sincerely,

TALENTED DESIGNER, WORKED HANDS ON  September 2020

Job: Master Bathroom Remodel

I had water damage in my master bathroom. I hired MAV Design Concepts to redesign my bathroom. Manju did several different layouts and I selected one where we flipped the shower and toilet, which allowed me to make the shower bigger. Manju was very good at helping me choose the right tile and accents for the shower, floor and walls to match my countertops and sinks that I wanted to keep. She worked hands on with the tile installer to make sure the tile patterns flowed beautifully throughout the bathroom. She is a talented designer and I would highly recommend her for your Kitchen or Bathroom remodel.

UNIQUE ABILITY TO DESIGN FUNCTIONAL SPACES September 2020

Job: Two Kitchen Remodels; Two Bathroom Remodels

Manju designed my daughter’s Kitchen and Bathroom and my Kitchen. I am very happy with the results. She has a unique ability to design spaces that are beautiful, functional, and efficient. I definitely recommend her for kitchen design.

THOROUGH THINKER, TOP NOTCH  September 2020

Job: Kitchen and Bath Designer Subcontractor

I have utilized Mav Design Concepts multiple times over the past 3-4 years. Manju has designed many kitchens and bathrooms for me as a general contractor.

I defiantly would recommend Mav Design Concepts to anyone. Thank You Manju!

DETAILED PLANNER  

Job: Kitchen Remodel; 8 Designs 

Randy did a kitchen renovation for us. The planning process with associate Manju Vashishta was long and detailed, but it was all worth it. Randy is an excellent carpenter and general contractor. All mechanics, electricians, pumbers did a fine job, the kitchen looks and functions well. Definitely recommend Manju Vashishta and Randy Thurston for your new kitchen!

CORRECTED MISTAKE OF ANOTHER DESIGNER

Job: Kitchen Remodel

I wanted to say thank you again for helping me complete the project I was working on.  I was weary of using a big box store to order the cabinets for my project and prior to working with you, I was convinced that I had made a mistake.  I appreciate you taking over the design of the kitchen and getting me exactly what I wanted in a timely manner. I have two more kitchens coming up and I will definitely be pushing my customers towards you.
