For Contemporary Railing3.5Final product is great. Carley is great. She texted us progress photos along the way. My only MAJOR complaint is with the freight company. R&L carriers were terrible. First obstacle, I work out of town and stay away 7 days at a time. Getting them to hold the item until my wife wasn't working and could accept it was a challenge. He stated they weren't "obligated" to hold it beyond 72 hours. Not sure if that meant he planned to send it back or what. We compromised. Next, they arrived and pulled the 400 lb, crated product off the truck. The deliverer "Bill" stated that it was too heavy to pull up the driveway on hand truck and he wasn't "obligated to put it in the garage" and LITERALLY left it sitting at the base of our driveway where it sat for 2 full days in the weather until she could find someone to help get it in the house! Truly, it was SO unprofessional. No fault of the artistan, but I strongly suggest she find a different carrier.

For Contemporary New Metal Gate Modern Urban Pedestrian Walk Iron Art Garden Gate5.0Carley is a terrifically skilled crafts woman. She worked with us to customize our gate design to perfectly fit our specifications. She delivered the finished product in a timely manner on schedule and resolved a few minor issues caused by the shipper with professionalism and courtesy. She is a delight to work with. Would certainly recommend her for any unique hand crafted work.

For Sign for brad in houma, la...5.0Carly is a great artist to hire. Thorough communication, options, and updates throughout the process. I sent her a picture, and got EXACTLY what I wanted. The quality of the work is exceptional. I will not hesitate to recommend her to anyone, and I look forward to the next project I have for her. Extremely happy and pleased with my experience with her.

For Derek's Sign3.8Not quite what I wanted, communication on the finished product wasn't great. Overall we found a different use for the product and it fits well. I found another vendor to provide what I need to my specification at the same cost. Overall pleasant to work with just not quite what I wanted.
