TESTIMONIALS [In a message from the Client to the Building Broker] "Jami – thanks for referring us to someone who is so extremely talented, creative, honest, and fair. Both of you ladies are the definition of integrity in the business world. We appreciate all of your hard work, time, and patience with us!" Tara Heavner, Owner "After two previous remodeling projects while living in London, we expected to significantly change the kitchen when we purchased our house in Austin. However, as we began to size up the project, we quickly realized that the entire integrated living room, dining room and kitchen areas were in desperate need of a coordinated refurbishment. The open living space was boxy and lacking in style and warmth. "Janna Paulson and her team at PPDS were able to assist us in significantly reworking the areas into a warm, diversified and still inviting open living space. Not only did PPDS help design an appealing and very efficient kitchen plan, but the open living space was enhanced by a number of stylish changes. Janna and her team utilized state of the art design tools that allowed us to view and visualize concepts before committing to final alteration changes. Final implementation included new walls that have improved aesthetics and traffic patterns, inviting ceiling treatments and lighting that have added warmth and diversity, new picture windows that provide welcomed light, a fabulous new entry foyer with a new front door and possibly most significantly an inspirational drop dead beautiful backsplash. "In addition, the staff at PPDS was able to assist us with finding an appealing new floor, lighting pendants and more stylish ceiling fans for the bedrooms. "Needless to say we have found Janna and the staff at PPDS to be inspirational, stylish, efficient, and fun to work with and easy to recommend to new prospects." Tom and Todla Hobson, OwnersTarrytown Residence "360Partners wanted a more upscale look for our quickly-growing search engine management and online lead generation business. We hired PPDS to help us out. Our experience with PPDS was outstanding. They are very professional and had many great ideas to offer along the way (our design came out rather unique - professional and cool for the largely 20-something staff we employ), as well as being very candid about things that we should avoid (this is key!). They gave us their opinions, but always in the context of what we wanted for our design. There was a lot of give and take in the desigin process, and it's safe to say that our thinking evolved significantly along the way as the PPDS staff educated us about design. This cost us in terms of budget, as we didn't fully understand how we would learn and adjust and finally come up with a great end product. The few extra dollars spent on the design were worth it, but just unexpected. My advice to anyone hiring design professionals, whether PPDS or not, is to be aware of your own ignorance of what good design is/isn't, and build the design services budget accordingly. One other helpful service to mention that PPDS provided: quote help from general contractors. They sent our bid package out to several high-quality general contractors and used their experience to help keep the major budget items in line. The savings on this alone probably covered their fee! We really enjoyed our experience, and we would definitely work with Janna, Becky, and the rest of the team at PPDS again. " Jeff Hoogendam, Principal
"For twelve years PPDS has provided services for tenants and landlords Yancey Hausman represents. Their professional and courteous staff made it a point to understand the objectives of each assignment and deliver quality interiors." Luke Drolet, Senior Vice President “PPDS did it again! Their professional approach and attention to detail speaks volumes in our new office space. They designed and delivered both a functional office space for our growing needs and a spatial experience that evokes who we are. From our early stages in the marketplace to now, PPDS continues to exceed our expectations drawing upon their extensive knowledge and material resources from the beginning of the design process to the end.” Cam McMartin, Managing Director & CFO “This was our first experience with building out a retail space, and PPDS helped us through the process in a friendly and easy manner. We are very happy with the outcome of our store, and we get compliments every week on the design touches that PPDS was intricate in helping us find.” Leslie Kempler, Owner |
