Design Excellence

We hired Jo-Anne to help us re-design and decorate our great room and foyer area. The project also included drywall repairs, painting and, electrical work, and we were extremely pleased with the particular contracting company that Jo-Anne partners with for this type of work. From the very beginning until the completion of the entire project we couldn't have been more pleased working with Jo-Anne and the team at Design Excellence. Their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were second to none. We LOVE the end result and would highly recommend Jo-Anne for any design project.

I've worked with Joanne on two projects so far and hope to continue working with her on every reno and new build I ever do - big and small. Joanne has a brilliant eye and can narrow down the overwhelming choices to the perfect few to pick from, making her clients job so easy. And the results are on time, on budget, hassle free and absolutely stunning! Her team of contractors and suppliers are the best and most reliable I've seen. Joanne and team take ALL the fear out of reno's

We hired Jo-Anne to be both our Designer and Project Manager for our renovation and we couldn't have been happier. She coordinated everything from recommending layout, picking beautiful materials, dealing with our contractor, and adding the finishing touches at project completion (all completed on time). She was professional, highly organized, and responsive to all our questions and concerns. I would not hesitate to use her again and recommend her.

Design Excellence has provided us the opportunity to participate in a wide range of projects. Jo-Anne is always extremely organized and communicates her clients needs that allows us to present our solutions in a unique way. Our experience in working with Jo-Anne is is very much a positive one, and her professionalism is refreshing and we welcome the opportunity to work with her again.

I have worked with Jo-Anne in the capacity of Designer and Decorator since 2003. Jo-Anne is a professional, dedicated hardworking person of the highest caliber. She was instrumental in helping me decorate my living room, dining room, front foyer, family room, master bedroom and ensuite, all designed to my perfection. Jo-Anne meticulously researches all aspects of the job and is thorough in leaving no stone unturned to make certain that all components of each project have been addressed. Her follow through is spectacular and most thorough. In this business, where attention to detail is paramount, Jo-Anne has excelled in this area. I can praise Jo-Anne for her thoroughness and timely responses. Jo-Anne is reliable, focused, committed and typically exceeds my expectations. One of Jo-Anne’s best qualities is that she listens to her clients and understands that it is their space she is designing, not hers. She offers suggestions and truly understands their needs and thus offers solutions to them.

I am currently working with Design Excellence to re-model my kitchen, bathroom, dining room and living room. It continues to be a pleasure, having access to wonderful design options and they have provided me with access to products that you wouldn't necessarily see in the "Big Box Stores". They also provide counselling on colours, styles and trends, which is a great help to a "newby" in renovating. They monitor the progress, schedule deliveries and are making this process as seamless as possible. Thank you ladies for all your help :)

The work provided was exceptional. The right questions were asked, many options were provided, and budget was always top of mind. I felt that there was a personal connection with the work being done - it was more than "just a job". I couldn't have been happier with the work or the service.

Jo-Anne has helped me with quite a few projects and I have always found her to be very professional. She has always respected our budget which is so important to any renovation. Our basement renovation was a complete success….I only wish that I could have brought it with me when we moved. We love her knack for finding just the right colour/fabric/flooring for our needs. Great to work with!

Jo-Anne is a true professional who takes pride in her work. She is very organized and conscious of her clients needs. She always stays on budget and does not compromise on quality. I would highly recommend her for any of your decorating or renovation projects.
