Interior Trends Remodel & Design LLC

After meeting with Kathy Nieto, we really hit it off. She offered ideas, adopted our ideas, and is great to work with. It was a real collaborative effort. When minor issues came up during the project, they were listened to and corrected. The team is incredibly responsive. In terms of budget, we did not want contractor grade, we wanted solid high/mid-range specifications. We made significant changes to our budget, primarily due to changes that we requested as we went, but even with adjustments along the way, we felt it was worth it. You get what you pay for! Nick and the field staff were fabulous. Their craftsmanship shows, they really pay attention to detail and have a great deal of pride in their work. The results exceeded our expectations! They listened extremely well and couldn’t be more helpful and so easy to work with. We highly recommend Interior Trends Remodel & Design and will certainly go back to them for future projects.

It went so well, Kathy understood our vision and helped us choose fixtures and finishes that fulfilled our dream bath. She was also very knowledgeable about all the construction details as well. It came out better than we ever dreamed possible. Form and function were flawlessly completed. I could not recommend this firm highly enough.

The Two Kathys were a delight to work with. From the first appointment to the last inspection they and their crews were professional, on time, efficient, and friendly - plumbers, electricians, painters, tile and countertop installers - all were polite, and answered all our questions. We changed the original work order to include some changes to our master bedroom and closet, and The Kathys met our requests without seeming to bat an eye. After the project was finished and paid for, there was some fine tuning to be done. The "fix it" person was always there within 24 hours of my call - in one case, just two hours later! We had heard horror stories from friends about home renovations, but Interior Trends put the lie to that. Should we be in need of future renovation there is no other firm we would call but Interior Trends. I give my highest recommendation to Kathy Nieto and Kathy Lyle, and the entire Interior Trends staff and crew.

My interior design firm recently had the pleasure of working with Kathy Lyle and Kathy Nieto (affectionately referred to as ?The Two Kathys?) of Interior Trends Remodel and Design on a large-scale remodel of a residence in Tucson. We became involved after work had begun and many decisions were already underway. From the start, I was impressed not only by the Two Kathys' welcoming, collaborative approach to the project but also their honest, no-nonsense work ethic. Their design plan was spot-on; their work schedule was thoughtfully well-organized; and their staff was personable and attentive. Regardless of what design ?curve balls? we threw at them, they handled everything with the utmost professionalism, a typically unseen attention to detail and a healthy dose of common sense, all of which resulted in this project being completed in a timely manner and being beautifully beyond the clients? expectations. Furthermore, the Two Kathys and their firm do not disappear once the project is complete. Follow-up is excellent, and they remain available for any questions one may have down the road, which is something rarely seen these days. As a result of the experience, hard work, patience, humor and charm they brought to this project, I can honestly say it was one of the best projects my firm has had the honor to work on in a number of years. Having now completed my work with Interior Trends Remodel and Design, I have to commend the Two Kathys and their entire staff not only on their work but also their character. Not often do I have the chance to sincerely note an exceptional job done by exceptional people, but I am happy to say I can do so regarding Interior Trends and Remodel. They come with my highest recommendation.

We would like to share the very positive experience we had with Interior Trends. We recently purchased a large house in Tucson and decided to do major upgrades before moving in. We hired IT to help us through what seemed like a daunting process. The project began with extensive discussions of our preferences and tastes. The ?Kathys? at IT and their assistants spent time with us at the house and at their office, offering suggestions for everything from colors and materials to plumbing and wall changes. They were most helpful in putting together a master plan. Individual members of the team at IT worked with us during the process, bringing in other experts--for example, a window treatment specialist--as needed. When we selected plumbing fixtures, they were with us, and their reputation for working with the plumbing distributor was evident in the service we received there. We were at the house to observe the carpenters, electricians, tile craftsmen, painters, etc., and cannot say enough good things about their integrity and the quality of their work. IT uses excellent people to execute their vision and does a great job of coordinating and overseeing the work. The task of moving in our entertainment system components, including a large HDTV, and setting the system up was especially well done. The components were placed into the beautiful cabinet space that had been built for them, assembled and checked. When any changes to the plan had to be made, we were promptly consulted. Similarly, when we wanted to change something or needed something done that was outside the plan, IT made it happen for us. When the job was done, Kathy Lyles walked us through the house, inspecting every element of the job, noting the smallest items that needed correcting. They also worked with us once we moved in to make any adjustments that were needed. We are now enjoying waking up every day to a warm and tastefully upgraded home thanks to all the staff and crew at IT. We smile each time we show people around, especially the master bath, when comments like ?oh my goodness, that is beautiful? are common.

Kathy N, the engineer/construction supervisor and her wonderful team helped us understand options for wall movements, door placements and changes necessary in structural adjustments. Kathy L the designer was very patient as she walked us through options of style (Mediterranean, traditional, modern, etc.) and small design issues (faux painting, appliance matching, cabinet wood and pulls, etc). Work included moving one wall and changing one entry door into the kitchen area. cabinets were all designed from scratch with an excellent functional work area that flows well today after 4 years. The two types and color of granite are perfect compliments and add so much to the kitchen look and functionality. We found all the workmen to be conscientious, skilled and open to questions and ideas. What few little things went not according to plan i.e. termites found on removal of old cabinets or hole punctured in adjoining bathroom wall, were all dealt with quickly and efficiently by Nick, the onsite foreman. Not only were they top notch in all ways, but we brought them back a year later to do a backyard outdoor kitchen, again with the same level of expertise. Perhaps the best example of ultimate service occurred 2 years after completing the back yard BBQ/outdoor kitchen, when a piece of the slate behind the BBQ collapsed in after a heavy rain storm. Nick was on the spot within a short period of time and not only had it repaired and reinforced, but had his crew completely rebuff the entire slate area even fixing some chips we had put in it. What a surprise to come home and find them rebuffing and resealing the slate. Over all a pleasant experience remodeling (I used to think that was an oxymoron) with an excellent team, dedicated professionals at about the same price or slightly higher than other bids we had but so much more value than we anticipated.

First of all, being new to this process, we got great advice on structural and design questions from the two Kathys.The plumber and his crew did a terrific job taking care of the unexpected problems, including replacing piping out to the street. The electrical crew and the carpenter did wonderful jobs rewiringthe rooms and installing cupboards and drawers and a new door for the bathroom. The tile person and his crew did a beautiful job in all three rooms. We had to make a change in our kitchen floor plans, and Interior Trends handled that process patiently and professionally. Nick the site supervisor was always very patient in addressing our questions and concerns, and all the crews were friendly. As the work progressed, cleanup was ongoing, for which we were grateful. Both projects (bathrooms and kitchen) were finished on time, and if more time was needed (e.g., for plumbing issues), we were given clear information as to the time and cost. We also had Interior Trends re-gravel our driveway and clean old tile grout. In summary, we are very happy with the work done and highly recommend Interior Trends.

We couldn't be more pleased with the outcome of our six month project. We live 3000 miles away and entrusted the execution of the entire project to Interior Trends. The owners are detail oriented and offered great advice and counsel during the design phase, as well over the entirety of the project. Helped with selection of cabinets, plumbing and lighting fixtures, paint colors, windows, window treatments, flooring/carpet, tile/marble/stone, doors, and appliances. Submitted all plans to the homeowners' association for approval. Used their full time staff to do the work and supervised closely. The company was responsive and communicative throughout the process. Quality of workmanship very high. We are thrilled with the outcome!

Perfect, good subcontractors, honest professional. On time clean up very well everyday. Very creative ideas. Excellent follow up.
