During this process it became clear to us that Lucie’s company not only had vast experience but also went out of their way to listen to what we wanted. This became a collaboration of ideas and decisions as to the direction we would be taking with Creative Elements. Lucie’s efforts to ensure we were getting what we wanted along with the details provided gave us confidence, we would get what we paid for. We decided to move forward with a renovation of the Kitchen, Dining Room, Game Room Bar, Laundry room and new flooring/carpet throughout the house. As an example, Lucie recommended a kitchen reconfiguration which optimized the layout while reducing the cost of construction as much as possible. Quotes were provided in a timely manner with all the details of cost and time included. At the end of the day this is the plan that was executed successfully later on.
The duration of the renovation took around 4 months. While this was a large renovation, we decided to stay in this location during the process and coexist with the workers. During this timeframe there was a project manager to communicate timelines and provide a single point of contact for many items and questions. Every representative of Creative Elements was professional, polite, and easy to deal with.
The end results to us were phenomenal and we are thoroughly pleased with all phases of this effort and will use her for future projects.
When I reached out to Creative Elements and Lucie Hasek, I knew almost immediately that this was the contractor I was going to use. She arrived at the house early, which amazed me since every other contract was late with excuses. The second she walked into the house, I could see her mind working, filing through ideas, inspecting the cabinets, fixtures, and paint, and measuring lines of the rooms. All of this before she even fully knew what we wanted.
Lucie was an incredible resource for ideas and concepts that we had never considered. She took the original idea and turned it into something magical and still within our budget. Both before and during the entire project she was very conscious of our budget, the time the project would take to complete, and my hectic schedule.
Creative Elements was the only contractor to offer ideas and suggestions and Lucie?s knowledge of construction and remodeling is unmatched. None of the other contractors I dealt with offered any suggestions or ideas, they simply took a rough outline and then shot us a price. Lucie and her staff were more like design consultants and then took much care and effort into formulating the costs and pricing to best match the budget. When I said, ?I want to do this.? She would respond with, ?Well that would be this price and might be a bit out of the budget, how about if we do this, and it will be this price and provide a similar concept and appearance within the budget.? We had many of these types of conversations. She made me feel at ease and by the time the project ended, I was looking for other projects around the house simply because I completely trust her vision, ideas, and implementation process.
Lucie and her staff were efficient, courteous, and clean and took great care while in my home. Her eye for detail, color and design is incredible. I know firsthand why her Angie?s List rating has been a strong A for the past five years. I highly recommend Lucie and Creative Elements for your Elegant Home remodeling project.
Our guest bath was totally gutted, with a wall being removed. Termite damaged studs were replaced. Popcorn ceiling was removed and walls retextured and painted. Lucie and Jennifer had to do a lot of handing holding which they did cheerfully. They helped us to pick out the granite, tub, tile, cabinet hardware, paint color and helped us to design the vanity and linen cabinet. Every contractor on Lucie?s team is amazing. They are very patient and responsive to any changes we wanted to make. The contractors made sure to clean up the space before they went home for the evening. Jennifer did a wonderful job of letting us know the day and time a contractor would be at the house and would notify us if there was a change in plans. I am pretty much a perfectionist and appreciated the very high standards of the Creative Elements’ team.
I had a vision of how I wanted the bathroom to look. By time Creative Elements was done, the bathroom was even better than I had imagined. The end result is an beautiful and amazing bathroom! We will definitely be using them for our family room remodel.”
