Kind words from our clients

I hired Studio Q to convert a half bath into a full bath. I got a few estimates and Studio Q cam in around the middle. I chose Susan and her team based on her professional no BS way of explaining the scope of the project and any issues we might face. From design to finished product, Studio Q was amazing. Project was completed on time and on budget. The results exceeded my expectations.

Susan at Studio Q designs was amazing to work with!  She helped me bring the vision I had for my dream kitchen to life and I absolutely LOVE it!  Susan has tremendous knowledge of all aspects of kitchen & bath design, so she can help with a small remodel project (like our daughter's bathroom remodel) all the way up to a total gut/expansion job... like our KITCHEN was!  In addition, Susan is knowledgable in all other aspects of a home remodel and has relationships with great contractors & suppliers.  She is very easy to work with and makes every client feel like they are her priority.  She is very thorough and detailed oriented, she has a great design sense for any decorating style, and she is fairly priced for the high quality service she provides.  I highly recommend Susan at Studio Q Designs for all you remodel needs!

Susan has done our friend's kitchen/bath, our kitchen, our rental's kitchen and our cousin's kitchen/bath in Sacramento, CA.She knows her stuff and has a great eye.  I recommend her to anyone who asks for renovation help because I know she will do a wonderful job.  No regrets and only relief that we have used and recommended her.

Susan was very helpful in helping us design and find quality products for our kitchen and bath remodels.  She was very professional and knowledgeable.

She worked well with other contractors.  I would highly recommend her and would use her again.

Words can not express how satisfied we are with Studio Q's design for our kitchen! When designing for us, it was as if Susan  knew exactly what we were thinking. She nailed  our vision in every single detail, 100%!!  Studio Q revived the heart of our house and brought it back to life, the life it should be living!

I've worked with Susan in selections of furnishings and finishes for several projects. Susan really listens to her clients and is able to find the perfect and unique products for their homes. Her depth of knowledge is extensive from "period" styles to current trends.

I hired Susan Quackenbush and Studio Q Designs to design and execute a complete interior remodel of my home.  I am thrilled with the outcome, and am planning to have her and her firm do additional work for me in the future.

Specifically I found Ms. Quackenbush to be honest, professional, dedicated, and extremely hard working.  She treated my home as her own, and would not settle for anything less than excellent work from her sub-contractors.  

From a design perspective Ms. Quackenbush listened to my ideas, and added the professional element that I could not do on my own.  She kept me informed of changes as we moved through the remodeling phase, and added very special finishing touches at the end to achieve the "wow" factor and the spectacular result that surpassed my expectations.
