Crystal Clear Creations

Based on Lamar’s personal recommendation, we contacted Crystal to renovate our bathroom. It was probably the biggest financial mistake we’ve ever made. We paid Crystal $ 4,500 as an initial 50% payment to renovate the small bathroom in our DC home which consisted of a tub, pedestal sink and toilet which she said her team would complete in two weeks.
After three weeks, almost nothing was completed except the demo. The workers didn’t show for days, and never more than 3hrs per visit. They made a mess, left a Budweiser can in the floorboards, and never even finished putting durarock on the floor let alone installing anything. Needless to say, we fired Crystal after she called my husband a «whiner» and failing to answer questions or phone calls.
Crystal never returned the house keys which really bothered us and we had to change the locks. In addition, she promised to provide an itemized invoice of the work performed but failed to do that too.
Crystal Clear Creations was the worst business experience my husband and I have ever had, and we would give them zero stars if possible.

Perfect painting work. I live in a 3 floor historic townhouse; we had a roof leak that led to a partially collapsed bedroom ceiling, so we needed that repaired. Also, we had renovated about 8 years ago, so we decided that the entire house should be re-​painted to fresh-​up and remove all the wall marks. While I had anticipated suffering through days of draped plastic and floor covers, every evening during the 7 day job, I came home to a clean house, with nothing out of place. They completely removed all wall hangings and outlet covers, etc., so it was a completely turn-​key job. When I returned home, I’d have to look to see that the wall had been painted (as they were), as nothing had been disturbed. The price was not cheap, but this was the best quality painting I could imagine; I have yet to find any speckles of paint, that I remember making in my painting days. some of the house is quite high, so it was a tricky job.
Crystal has done other work for us over the last 15 years, and I’d never given her any reviews. she does more than just plaster/​paint, so just ask. She runs a high quality operation, and I would recommend her without reservation. In fact, we have now engaged her team to repaint the exterior trim of another town house.
