We remodeled a shower/bathroom with Grats Design. Gene was extremely helpful given that we were neophytes to remodeling projects. He offered a lot of useful insights as we were in the planning stages and helped us to understand what was possible and which of our ideas would be implementable. The estimate that he provided was in line with the final project cost. There were several issues that arose over the course of the project that Gene could have legitimately billed us extra for (the removal and replacement of rotted wood in the shower subfloor) yet he chose not to do so. Gene's team also had to do more work than anticipated due to some high-end European fixtures that we installed which required some finessing with the installation. The quality of the work itself was excellent. We're very happy with the modern upgrade and will look forward to working Gene again on our next project

I was recommended to Grats Decor by my Aunt who recently used them to redo their kitchen and dining room area. We just bought our first house and needed to do number of things before we can move in. We met with Gene at the house to discuss our remodeling options. Because we wanted to leave it up to the experts we let him share his vision with us. He has a eye and great talent when it comes to choosing the proper materials to update the kitchen and bathroom. He has a great work ethic and is always very easy to get a hold of. We weren't planning on redecorating, but after seeing some of Grats Decor previous work we also asked them to help us with interior design, this is when we met Anya & she is absolutely amazing, from picking out wall colors for the entire house, designing our Nursery and living room space. We were able to give her a budget for the whole project and let her pick out things she thinks will go with our space. We are so glad we found them, they are both very talented and have an eye for classy and sophisticated style. . These two are a great combo. They are knowledgeable about current trends as well as traditional styles and can help you with anything from picking out tiles to dining room tables!!! Highly recommend. We were very lucky to find them & very happy with the end result.

I got lucky my first time out in hiring someone to remodel my kitchen. First I found ThumbTack, then I found Gene Grats of Grats Decor. I, along with everyone else, had heard horror stories about late, disappearing for days, unreliable and overcharging remodeling crews. Not with Gene. We met at my house where he took measurements of my kitchen, and followed up a few days later with 3D renderings of what my new kitchen would soon look like and a very reasonable price estimate. He and his crew were here 15 days in a row at 7:30 a.m. like clockwork and even stayed until 8pm a few nights. Everyone was friendly, worked hard and never left behind a mess. Grats Decor designed, purchased material, delivered the material & built the kitchen with very minimal effort on my part other than approving or disapproving designs at my home. All the leg work was performed by them. Gene himself was in touch with me very day, keeping me apprised of what was going to be accomplished and any problems that may have arisen. He also had the patience of a saint with me changing my mind every 5 minutes or adding little extras here and there. To sum up, Grats Decor is quite reasonably priced, does quality work, easy to work with and keeps in touch with his clients! When the job was done, we felt like we were losing a friend. What more could you ask for?

I'm very happy I found Grats on thumbtack! Very pleased with full remodel they've done on my new place - I feel as if my home is something that came from a magazine spread. They guided me like a child in a toy store, helped me pick out all the right finishes, never sugar coated anything and always gave me their honest feedback. Also they were always easy to reach. I will not hesitate hiring them again or recommending them to my family & friends. Thank you Grats Decor, you've done wonderful job for me!

We had Gene and his team renovate our main bathroom, updating the existing footprint with newer items, light electrical and opening up old shower to max space. It's taken me awhile to write a review because like all reno projects, you need to let the battle scars heal before you comment. Overall, I'd rate them 7/10. They provided a fair quote, came in on time but as in all renos, it took longer than quoted but who really believes in those dates anyway. The demo was great, the execution of most of the items was fair but the areas where I wish I micromanaged was execution of certain pieces. For example, implementing the medicine cabinet, we asked for plugs on the inside so you can plug your toothbrush there but the plug is in the middle making it now hard to put anything else there. We ordered a vanity from Restoration Hardware, one can argue quality with Gene all day but it's so poorly implemented and it has been cut into so it was non-refundable. When you are stuck between getting your bathroom finished and bleeding more money, it's one of those regrets I will never ever get over. The paint job was horrible but Gene was always willing to make changes until we were satisfied and even picked the cost of the extra can of paint and some of the tile work was not executed well. I still find it difficult to look at many of the small items that was rushed or just not done w/ care but we didn't have the patience or money to rip up and start again. Nonetheless, Gene was always willing to try, gracious about my complaints and willing to do-over if / where possible. He worked the drain cap many times to make it fit. I had my own designers but since Grats does their own design, it may have easier if they had designed it because it was a battle to cross-ref all of the parties to ensure the vision was executed right. Each party blame the other and I was caught in the middle. Lastly, if I used them again, I would insert check points to ensure what I wanted was executed. It might drag out the project a bit but at least you don't live regretting your choices.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    All of our interior design or remodeling appointments began with a complimentary 1 hour in-home or in-showroom discussion in San Francisco. Outside of San Francisco we charge $150, if hired $100 Grats Decor store credit is deducted form the price/bid/budget/hourly charge. If the client likes our ideas and concepts we move forward to a 3D design & rendering. Depending on the size of the project this price varies. If the 3D rendering is approved this cost is deducted form the overall price/bid/budget/hourly charge. The 3D rendering is presented in our showroom approximately 5-7 days after hiring Grats Decor. Again this time frame varies depending on project size. During this presentation time we can make changes to the design as needed. Client satisfaction is our top priority! Once the design is approved the cost of the 3D rendering is deducted from the overall price/bid/budget/hourly charge. Depending on project size and details a payment system is established.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    The most common jobs is Interior Design. We are San Francisco - based firm but our services extend to Nationwide and Internationally. Our initial consultation is like an interview, we discuss our client's needs and determine whether it is full interior design, interior design with remodeling or taking measurements for custom furniture. If the client likes our concepts and ideas we proceed to discuss budget or hourly charge depending on the size of the project. If the project is interior design or remodeling we present clients with scaled 3D renderings prior to commencement of work.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    -Some advice is to ask the provider how much of the actual work will be outsourced? Dealing with multiple contractors or designers, to complete a project becomes very troublesome & costly to control. Grats Decor keeps everything in house. Budget and the clients best interest is our priority. -If hiring a interior designer, ask what kind of an up-charge will the designer put on items purchased on your behalf? Most interior designers work on a hourly basis but some also place an up-charge percentage on all items purchased. Usually between 5-10%. Since Grats Decor is interior design showroom and being a direct representative of over 10 designer lines, our clients receive the best prices. In fact, our clients include interior designers who purchase from us on your behalf. -Where items that will be purchased for your interiors are made? Most interior designers purchase items that will compliment the overall design. But how the item looks is just as important as the quality of the item. Most designer showrooms will not disclose where the items are made. Our brand name designer lines have been around for many year and have established their name in design industry due to their quality and design. Grats Decor also carries custom slipcover & upholstery line. It is not mass manufactured and is hand made in California. This means that when you place an order for a piece, it only then goes into production and is customized with a style, size, fabric, comfort, specifically for your interiors! -Ask for referrals and pictures of previous work.
