Paul & Ysela - Kitchen remodel & Flooring
"My wife and I decided to do some remodeling in our home.
However, hiring a company that would be truthful and honest
became quite a dilemma. We went through several people and
companies and weren’t satisfied. When we asked for estimates
some of the people never even returned our call. We became quite
discouraged. Then we heard about SPACES and what a find!
SPACES did a project on our street & that’s how we came across
their work. We saw first-hand the work they had performed for our
neighbor; we were able to observe their daily routine & progress.
After some decision making we decided to move forward with
SPACES.
Tammy the owner, designer & project manager, made all the
difference. She walked us through our ideas and made them a
reality. Tammy enlarged our kitchen by repurposing other areas
and enlarging the kitchen space. Her patience, great attitude and
hands-on supervision were remarkable. We were so excited to deal
with a person and a company that pays attention to every detail.
Within a few days of beginning construction the accomplishments
made were astounding. These people get about their business,
work clean and efficient. We were amazed at the progress made in
such a short time! Weekly construction meetings were held and the
entire project was addressed on a weekly basis. What more can you
ask for?
Our home is the biggest investment of our lifetime. I have no
hesitation in recommending this company at all. We believe when a
positive remodel experience like SPACES happens, it’s important
to share that with everyone…"

“We first met Tammy at one of her SPACES project completion
‘Open House’ parties here in our neighborhood. When we saw
firsthand the quality of her work, we asked her to come take a look
at our kitchen the very next week.
Tammy is more than a remodel designer. During our construction
we saw her measuring, laying stone and tile, caulking, etc. She
designed, provided detailed plans and was hands on in many parts of
our remodel. And from beginning to end, Tammy supervised all the
work to insure it met her standards.
If everyone ran their business like SPACES, there would be a lot
less unhappy customers. We were amazed daily with their
diligence, work ethic and many skills. Tammy truly cares about her
customers and goes the extra mile to make sure they are happy.
We don’t think there was any detail too small or any item left to
chance – Tammy was on it! She worked tirelessly for us from
beginning to the very end. We felt fortunate to have her in charge of
this major project of ours. SPACES came highly recommended by
two of our neighbors who were totally satisfied with their end
results. We’ll definitely recommend Tammy and her company
SPACES, to family and friends. She is awesome and we have the
final product to show for it – a WOW home!”

"We had been saving for a kitchen remodel project for many years.
When Tammy met us for our first appointment we clicked right
away with her personality. You could tell she loved what she does
and it shows! We felt that she was knowledgeable and really cared
about what we wanted for our home.
So we intended doing just the kitchen. But we fell in love with the
flooring she suggested and decided to do it throughout most of the
house including the Great Room. Then Tammy recommended
replacing our wood stove surround (dated shiny green) with a
newer coordinating tile since that area is open to the kitchen. The
result is a focal point as you walk in our front door. It’s where our
entire family gathers and we love it!
Now that I’m living in my kitchen I can say I love the materials we
picked and how they hold up. We got a great value but didn’t have
to go overboard to get a custom look. Tammy switched my
dishwasher location to make it more convenient – something I
hadn’t even thought about. Also I was desperate for more counter
space. Somehow she designed lots more counter without
shrinking my kitchen. In fact it looks and feels bigger!
The thing that stands out the most is our flooring. Although we
used the same floor throughout, Tammy changed the pattern for
each room; she wanted to design it for how you how you enter
each room. Once she suggested that, it made perfect sense. And
now that it’s done, it’s one of my favorite features! We really
appreciated her attention to our budget and to detail.
Tammy was hands-on making sure that we actually got exactly
what we wanted. She really worked with us on every aspect
during the whole project – from beginning to final walk through.
We were very glad that she was involved with the construction.
She handled with the crew any issue we had until each was
resolved to our satisfaction.
We definitely felt our money was well spent. We’re so glad we
met Tammy! We love the work she did for us and would
recommend her to the whole world."
Nancy – Mother-in-Law Addition
“As I began this process of adding on an addition to my home for
my parents, the best thing that happened was finding Tammy to
manage the project. I had tried a couple of other vendors first but
they didn't return phone calls. Tammy answered my initial inquiry
within 15 minutes. This level of service has continued through the
entire project.
We are on time and on budget and I couldn't be happier with the
integrity, honesty and professionalism of this company. Thank you
Tammy for everything you have done to make this easy for me and
my parents. The peace of mind is priceless!”
Gavin & Deanna – Kitchen redesign & flooring throughout
“Tammy has been amazingly helpful with design ideas and getting
the best kitchen remodel we could within our budget. We had the
limitation of an older house and a smallish kitchen. She’s very
knowledgeable, has a great eye for design and is available way too
many hours! We really do appreciate that she’s been able to work
around our schedules and meet us in the evenings or on weekends.
We were originally working with another company but then met
Tammy. Her design, knowledge and vision were on a much higher
level; we immediately decided she was the person we wanted to
work with but we had to see her pricing. We feared she would be
out of our budget. To our surprise, not only did Tammy present us
a superior design but her costs came in lower than the competitor!”
We are very happy with our design – keep up the good work!”
Larry & Verna – Master Bath remodel
“This designer took a "sow's ear and turned it into a silk purse!
My bathroom was very small and dark and boring. Now it has
light, beautiful tile work and fixtures plus the shower is large and
inviting because of this imaginative and experienced designer.
Every inch of space is well used and attractive.
Our planning sessions were businesslike, delightful and
productive. Always there when she said she would be, paid
attention to me but took the reins when I was unsure of myself.
I looked forward to them and was never disappointed.
Selection of materials was from a large number of sources, were
well coordinated and blended seamlessly together for a beautiful
end product.
Her follow up was way beyond the expectations I’d formed in past
experiences with other remodeling jobs. As project manager
Tammy, coordinated easily and effectively with the various work
men on the job, everything was finished on time or very, very close.
We are very pleased with the finished project.
Patty & Chris – kitchen remodel
"My husband and I decided to remodel because our kitchen was
small and outdated. I wanted a clean, classic looking kitchen
but didn’t have the confidence to do it on my own. I was afraid
we'd spend a bunch of money and not like our new kitchen in
the end. Clearly I needed assistance!
I showed Tammy pictures of kitchens I liked. Once we chose the
design that best suited our needs, the fun began! When it came
time to pick cabinets, flooring, paint, tile, etc, Tammy narrowed
down the options so I wasn’t overwhelmed with endless
possibilities.
She presented us three final kitchen design ideas. All were fantastic!
Tammy also educated us along the way so we felt comfortable with
our choices. Most importantly, I knew she wouldn’t let us choose
something we would regret. I had so much confidence and trust in
her!
When construction began, Tammy was involved on a daily basis to
make sure the process ran as smoothly as possible. We could
always count on her to be available for any questions and/ or
concerns we had. She held my hand though what was quite an
overwhelming process! Our space was maximized with double the
countertop and cabinet area along with a more efficient layout. In
the end, we ended up with the most beautiful kitchen!
We’re so pleased we’ve already asked her to work on our next task:
adding French doors that open to a small addition plus a patio
cover. We can’t wait for Tammy to help us with our next
remodeling project!
She brings you fabulous homemade baked goods! Her homemade
coconut donuts were my most favorite of all!"
Krysa – kitchen redesign, addition, patio covers, sidewalks, stucco
"I needed my kitchen updated plus more room for ‘family time’ so
figured I would just enclose the patio. It was really important to me
to blend and retain the rustic character of my house with any new
updated design. I wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted to do or even
what I could do. During our first walk through, Tammy helped me
focus in on areas I should address and narrow down others.
She discussed with me lifestyle (horses and pets); family (a pre-teen
with lots of friends); future plans (staying put at least till college).
She literally ‘investigated’ how I wanted to use the overall living
space for my family. Based on her recommendations we ended up
changing the kitchen layout and moving the dining room out into
the new addition. I didn’t really know what we are capable of doing
but I knew that Tammy was capable. Once we decided on a rough
plan, she evaluated then worked through what was physically and
structurally possible. And then she brought in the resources and
workers who had the skills to create what we designed.
For example I figured a small kitchen island was fine but Tammy
explained the benefits of a peninsula for my space; she
recommended a larger eat-in peninsula that allows for
conversation while I’m cooking. And I get more comments on my
beautiful range hood. It’s a feature of the kitchen that I didn’t
realize would be so striking – until all the comments from friends.
Now I’m so glad I followed her advice - it’s one of my favorite
things about my new kitchen!
My new addition is big and beautiful! People are amazed at how well
the space blends with the rest of our home and with the outdoors.
With the colors and materials Tammy chose, it doesn’t look like an
afterthought. Plus we did stucco on the entire house, added a covered
breezeway, a large patio cover and we replaced a French door.
I also wanted to replace my floors in most of the house. Tammy
used the new flooring to transition from the addition throughout the
rest of the home. Again her suggestion for the right product was
spot on. I love what we picked – it’s really perfect for my lifestyle
plus easy to maintain.
It was invaluable that Tammy was overseeing all the work and
keeping the job on track – especially with my traveling so much; that
was important to me. She had the house keys and was my point of
contact from beginning to end; all communication went through her.
It was a LOT of work - all done simultaneously - but Tammy stayed
on top of the whole project. I would definitely recommend Tammy to
anyone who is doing a kitchen remodel or addition."
Marie & Gene – Master bath redesign & Guest Bath update
“Thank you, Tammy for your outstanding work in the remodeling of
our bathrooms and patio cover. In former projects we’ve never
experienced the help and attentiveness as you gave us!
As senior citizens, Tammy quickly grasped all our basic ideas and
incorporated them with some of her own. The end result was just
beyond our expectation!. She constantly updated us through phone
calls and in person, on the status of our bath construction. We would
highly recommend Tammy to all our family and friends for a job well
done.”
