Client Testimonials

“Simply stated, Cris Roberto is a gem! Her creative talent, industry knowledge, excellent communication skills (including with the construction team)… and patience… made her a dream to work with!

We had a basic vision for the complete remodel of our kitchen and main bedroom bath, but no clear idea of where to start. Cris made our project a fun collaboration. We trusted her expertise and opinions as she guided us through the process and are very happy with the end results!”

“Cris took my dysfunctional kitchen and transformed it with this long over due remodel. Finally I have a kitchen of my own and I love it!”

“Cris helped us design the kitchen we were dreaming of, and we had so much fun along the way. My husband and I are not the most creative or decisive when picking colors and patterns and how to layout the best kitchen. Cris made the process so much easier for us and was patient with us as we made our decisions and wanted to compare and contrast various products. She never rushed us and always gave her honest opinion and always had great advice and suggestions of what would look best. I appreciate working with her and valued her opinions and we absolutely LOVE our kitchen!”

“We cannot recommend Cris Roberto highly enough! Cris has designed three major projects for us, and each one has exceeded our expectations. From a complete re-do of our bathrooms, kitchens, and living spaces, to designing our charming two-bedroom casita, and most recently, an incredible outdoor living space—Cris’s expertise shines through in every detail.

What sets her apart is her ability to truly listen to her clients. She takes the time to understand not only your vision but also your practical needs, and then she adds a level of creativity and polish that makes everything come together beautifully. Her innovative use of space has helped us maximize every inch of our home, ensuring that it not only looks stunning but is also functional and tailored to our lifestyle.

Cris is incredibly mindful of budgets, providing thoughtful solutions that balance quality and cost. She is honest, approachable, and genuinely cares about the entire family—whether it's making sure the layout works for our family with teenage daughters or designing spaces that our two golden retrievers can enjoy too! By the end of the project, she truly feels like family.

We wouldn't dream of starting any home project without consulting Cris first. Her talent, integrity, and warm personality make her an invaluable partner, and we’re grateful for the positive impact she’s had on our home and our lives. We are honored to call her our friend!

Cris Roberto designed our entire home.  Her designs are everything we wanted and the outcome better than expected.  Cris managed everything; from design to completion, from material selection to sourcing contractors and overseeing the day to day. I could not imagine undertaking such a high stakes project without her expertise.”

“I am pleased to share my experience working with Cris Roberto, who has been the designer, project manager, and expert on three of my major construction projects.

Cris is exceptionally detail-oriented, which has been instrumental in keeping our projects on time and within budget. Her strong communication skills enable her to effectively engage with the construction team, ensuring that everyone is aligned and fully aware of what is needed to complete each job.

I have been particularly impressed with Cris’s ability to visit project sites and make insightful recommendations when challenges arise. Her proactive approach not only addresses immediate issues but also helps us identify ways to prevent potential problems in the future.

Overall, I can't imagine taking on a remodeling project—whether involving minor or major changes—without her input.  I wholeheartedly recommend her for any future endeavors.”

Based on the referral from a very dear friend, we contacted Cris Roberto to discuss the possibility of her assisting us with the renovation of our old kitchen.  Based on that phone call, we “hired” Cris and are so very grateful, and feel fortunate, that we did. From that initial phone call until the completion of our beautiful, renovated kitchen, her professionalism, creativity, ideas and recommendations were first class. She consistently displayed excellent listening skills, responded in a timely manner to our calls, and showed compassion with any concerns we had about our ideas and the kind of kitchen we envisioned.  Her vision for our kitchen was remarkable - we never thought of our kitchen space in the way she did, and we trusted her vision and she delivered.

We now have a kitchen that is not only beautiful but a sheer delight to work in – whether we are cooking or cleaning. From the cabinets, backsplash and countertop colors that were matched to the stove we chose as our kitchen “centerpiece”, to the windows, door and lighting – she made it all work together to create a very roomy, elegant-yet casual, productive and “happy” kitchen.  Everyone that enters our kitchen is amazed at how beautiful and efficient it looks.  Not only was Cris extremely professional and helpful, but so were the vendors that she took us to, along with the contractor and sub-contractors that she chose.

Another very important note is that the appliances and materials were delivered and installed on time and, most importantly, the final project – our new kitchen - was delivered as scheduled. We couldn’t be more pleased with our kitchen and are so very, very grateful that we met and had the opportunity to work with Cris.”
