When we decided to upgrade our kitchen and bath in our high rise penthouse, we wanted to get the job done with the least effort on our part and include a designer, not just a contractor. We also have physical needs for the design, including a walk in shower, which is not an easy requirement in a high rise. We got all that and more. We spent many hours with our designer to pick the layout and materials. We could not have done it on our own. Next Stage provided plans and 3d images for our review, then the project manager got involved with getting contractors lined up and a schedule made. They stuck

I have been pleased to work with Next Stage three times (on two different houses). There have been folks with them the whole time, and new folks - all have been a great combination of fun and professional. They have been adaptable to my needs, providing both the highest end solutions, as well as simple ones where requested. The trades the bring in have all been great, and well managed. Jobs on time, and on budget. The one mistake of any significance across all three jobs was acknowledged and rectified promptly. I would not hesitate recommending them to my family and friends.

Our kitchen was remodeled by Case Design to our satisfaction and completed in the time promised. The workers listened to all our requests and were knowledgeable and pleasant. We recommend Case Design and would not hesitate to use them on future projects.

My wife and I wanted a new refreshed look to the front our house. I checked the Diamond Certified list of contractors and found Case. With a little more investigating we chose Case for the design and remodel. Case showed us optional designs and we chose one. We were offered many choices of materials which were decided upon with the help of the Case designer. Work started each day with the project manager on site and all the workers were so friendly and professional at everything. Each day was completed with a complete clean-up of the area. The final outcome was great. We continue to receive compliments
