We needed you guys to guide us through this process. We couldn’t think of doing this on our own. It turned out better than I thought, it looks beautiful. I’m amazed.
Everybody can tell that it's an incredible quality of work.
The communication was fantastic. We knew exactly what was going on when it was going on... The communication was amazing.
This is just like the dream kitchen that we’ve been wanting for such a long time. It’s just gorgeous. Amazing. It’s better than I ever thought it could be.
I could trust you guys. You are very smart. You have very smart people working for you.
You guys are great to work with. The communication was excellent. Communication was very, very good. We were always at ease. We always felt we knew exactly what was happening next.
From beginning to end, we felt a part of the process and a partner in it. ...It’s really the focal point of our home and has transformed the way that we live here.
They [the production staff] were so lovely and so welcoming in times when they did not need to be welcoming us. I mean they were just awesome, from top to bottom.
I was most satisfied with communication and responsiveness, as well as their ability to take our ideas, understand them and make them concrete.
Your responsiveness to our concerns throughout the process has been absolutely amazing and stellar.
You will get what you pay for.
We paid for a really great experience, and we got a
really great experience.
It was enjoyable to see stuff getting developed, and we were just really impressed by the design.
It was fun! The selection of materials and stuff...the palette, and putting it all together. We have definitely enjoyed the finished product a lot.
Family and friends can't believe what we packed into the small space -- a true transformation. With almost no structural changes, the kitchen jumped into modern living with custom cabinetry, thoughtful finishes, and expert details/craftsmanship that resulted in a new kitchen that is tiny, but mighty. Bluestem was on the same page with me every step of the way. If I had to sum up the process and end result, I can truly say that they turned my vision into reality and it was a fun and trusted collaboration from start to finish.
I just loved the level of communication. I loved co-construct. I really felt like that tool was very useful to me, because if I had a question like, 'why is anybody not showing up at my house today?' I could just look, and it was outlined on there. Also, I could trust you guys. You are very smart.
Bluestem staff were professional and responsive. They met every deadline and completed the project on time. Their suggestions for project changes were very helpful and smart. I would highly recommend them for your project.
