04.2013 - 12.2023

1.) Met, consulted, and problem solved with clients about their renovation project wants, needs, and problem areas that needed solutions.

2.) Using a design package showed clients 3D images of new layouts for Kitchens, Baths, Mud/laundry room, and built in cabinet areas and made adjustments to designs if needed to meet clients needs

3.) Using samples in our showroom and sometimes meeting with clients at vendors locations helped clients pick out materials such as cabinet doors, stains or paint, counter tops, backsplashes, flooring , tile, stone, and more.

4.) We used Excel and Jone Stone as our counter top vendors as well as had many granite, quartz, and corian samples in our showroom. We also worked with both companies as to where specifics of flow patterns for flowy granites should go and size measurements for sinks, bar sinks, backsplashes, water fall edging for islands, custom showers, and faucet size and placements would be.

5.) Organized and kept up with clients, vendors, and installers as project was being done so everything ran smoothly and helped to mitigate any issues that may have occurred during installation.
