Design Accomplished

I’ve used Design Accomplished on several occasions and have always been pleased with the results and the reasonable prices. They have redone an in home office completely from design to decorating, using some new items as well as items I already had in my home. Most recently they repaired several wall and ceiling issues in my home and painted our kitchen (not an easy task-​cathedral ceilings and strange walls), plus a guest room and bathroom. Though we didn’t always agree on color we are more than thrilled with the results. I will be calling them again for our next project.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS!
I found this business on Thumbtack. I requested a «paint and color consultation» for a kitchen renovation I was doing at my home in Maryland. The owner, Sherry Certeza, replied via Thumbtack «$ 90.00 (total price)». At the initial meeting Ms. Certeza did make kitchen paint color suggestions but offered to bring granite counter top samples and living room wood floor samples to a follow up meeting.
There was NO discussion by Ms. Certeza of any additional charges.
At the next meeting Ms. Certeza showed up at my house with a bucket of granite samples and some wood floor samples along with a BILL FOR $ 180.00 for «SHOPPING SERVICES»!
When I discontinued further dealings with her business for charging fees that were neither previously discussed or agreed to, she replied: «This is not a hobby this is how I make a living.»
If you are considering hiring this business I strongly suggest you get an Fee Agreement in writing clearly spelling out what she intends to charge you Before you let her in your front door.
BTW: To be rid of her I sent her a check for the $ 180.00 «shopping charge bill».
I’ll bet you can guess whether she cashed it.
