Construction Concepts Corporation

Dear Cathy,

I just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you again for all of your hard work and exemplary design on the Schneidman kitchen project, for the HGTV show Designers' Challenge.

It's been a real pleasure working with you and Construction Concepts Corp. from the initial stages, all the way through to the end of the project. Your years of experience and dedication were instrumental in bringing this project in efficiently and on time. I truly believe that your being an interior designer who owns a design/build firm, provided a one-stop shopping aspect to the project that was beneficial to me by meeting our strict production deadlines, as well as to the client by not displacing a young family for inordinate amounts of time while construction decisions were being made.

Cathy, in the end, the proof, as they say, was in the pudding. To walk in and see how you had taken an outdated, inefficient space and turned it into a stunning, modern-day kitchen, all while maintaining the integrity of the home, yet addressing the needs and wants of the Schneidman family was simply amazing. Your attention to detail and artistic touches resulted in a kitchen that I'm sure will thrill our viewers and bring a sense of pride and joy to the Schneidman family for years to come.

Again Cathy, thank you for all of your hard work and dedication.

Sincerely,
Eric Mathis
Senior Show Producer
Designers' Challenge

Thank you for transforming our space from an eyesore to a showpiece!

Our original kitchen, laundry room and bathroom was circa 1968: mustard countertops, chocolate brown appliances, linoleum flooring, dark pine cabinetry and matching paneling. A peninsula counter split the space in two and the washer and dryer were located between the bathroom and basement door - all made for awful traffic flow. With no mudroom, all shoes, coats and backpacks were left on the kitchen floor.

We are a young family and entertain alot, and the heart of our home was in desperate need of renovation.

We met Construction Concepts thanks to HGTV's Designers' Challenge but chose to work with Cathy and Jeffrey because of their design and building expertise plus their commitment to a detailed and original space.

We had seen many kitchens featured on TV, in magazines and in showrooms. We knew what we liked, but no particular look was us. We wanted color and personality, and so instead of clippings, we referred Cathy to an artist that appealed to us. Cathy took our favorite work, a vibrantly-colored print, and from it created a palette of stone, fabrics, wood and paint, highlighted by silver accents, that works beautifully throughout four rooms. She further personalized the space with one-of-a-kind artwork - framed infant shirts from our children and a rendering of our home on a mirror frame - two of many touches that truly make the space ours.

Any renovation is an enormous, and stressful, undertaking. But the CCC team's daily efforts impressed us. Every work day began with the crew starting ontime and leaving the work space clean at days end. If we had questions, and there were many, CCC answered them promptly. The quality and installation of the cabinetry, flooring, backsplash and countertops was exceptional.

Most importantly, CCC's design has improved the traffic flow exponentially.

Family and friends positive comments are great, but to live in the new space is to love it.

Thank you.
