This is my first negative review on any website but I feel compelled to warn other potential clients. I am very disappointed in Tutto Interiors. After charging me a fortune to partially design a master bathroom, she refused to proceed with the project when, after a competitive bidding process, I decided to use another contractor instead of her (very expensive) recommendation. She was furious when I told her that I would conduct the competitive bidding process for a job this size. Although she said that her contractor was independent, I find it hard to believe since he was over $30K higher than the next estimate for a job worth $75K. After I chose my contractor (who has done excellent work for us in the past), she refused to return my calls or emails, refused to work with my contractor, and, although I paid for much of the design, refused to provide her sources for the materials recommendations I had paid for in the design process. One wonders how "independent" her contractor really was. Finally after posting this review on Houzz, Tutto sent me some of the tile specs but none of the marble, lighting or fixture information. I had also purchased very expensive furniture through this firm as part of this project. Upon reflection, I should have waited to order the furniture (where designers make significant mark-up) until the bathroom project was complete. If designers want to require use of their own general contractors as a condition for the design, this should be clear upfront….Tutto was not clear about this and only “fired” me as a customer when my competitive quote uncovered the huge difference.. So clients should beware of the huge markups when normal contractors work for a designer’s “general contractor” who works for the designer. Lots of profit markups which is the reason for the significant disparity in the quotes above. And designers, when you wish to fire a customer, have the courtesy of calling them directly to say you don’t want to continue with the project. This experience with Tutto was very disappointing. UPDATE: Tutto Interiors is now threatening to sue me demanding I remove my reviews from social media. Clients BEWARE this company!
