Just completed an overhaul of my en-suite with Joel and the team, it was so easy with Joel taking over the design, programme and snagging, already trying to book the next project with him!

Hi Sarah, Thank you so much for your kind works and business! the space looks great and I can't wait to work with you again on your next project.

We recently used Joel for a bathroom refit and we couldn't be happier with the entire process. Starting off with a Zoom chat, we immediately felt Joel understood exactly what we were after and the initial sketches that followed soon after were ideal in both look and budget. When it came to the job starting, Joel and team worked efficiently and with great attention to detail, with any unexpected extras and delays explained and quickly worked around. We were so pleased with the renovation when it was finished, and are more than happy to recommend Joel to anyone looking for a top quality new kitchen or bathroom.

Hi Owen, thank you so much for your kind words! So glad we were able to work through the whole process with you during this uncertain time and keep the light shining on your project. It truly was a pleasure working for you both and so happy to see that you've put your personality into your own space.Thank you for your support and as always, any questions please do not hesitate to be in touch!

The work and customer service provided by Joel and his team have been second to none, they have coped with all kinds of last minute changes - from last minute lockdown regulations to floor tiles that seemed to have been permanently attached - and each time they have worked so hard to adapt. Joel is worth his weight in gold and works so hard to achieve such high quality results, we have been provided with a blissful bathroom that we keep making excuses to spend more time in there. We recommend Joel 100%!

Hi Ellie! Oh my what a lovely review thank you so so much! It did throw a lot of challenges at us but thats all they were, hurdles which we came across! So glad you love the space and enjoying every minute of it. so excited to see the drinks trolley in there as well, a great idea!

We’ve now completed two projects with Joel and couldn’t recommend him more. From first speaking to Joel we knew we wanted to work with him for both our bathroom and kitchen project. He has consistently made us feel confident in not only his work but in our own decisions throughout the projects. Covid-19 aside we have been very lucky with how our projects progressed and we can safely say that we have the kitchen we were dreaming about, he has transformed our space into exactly what we were hoping for. Joel is professional, dedicated and one of the kindest people we have had the pleasure of meeting on our journey of buying and transforming our first home. BIG thumbs up from us!

Hi Tessa, thank you so much for your kind words! It's been a pleasure exploring all your ideas, thoughts and see your new house become your home with your own stamp on it. Exploring new ideas with you both was exciting and I'm so glad myself and the team delivered everything to your expectations!!

What can I say, Joel was more than helpful throughout the whole of our bathroom project, with great designs to top it all off! We wanted a minimal style, utilising natural materials, the design we received back was exactly what we wanted (minus a few minimal changes). The bathroom project started just before the COVID-19 lockdown and we weren't sure how this would impact our project. Joel was very responsive, answering any questions we had and kept us in the loop with all developments of the project. Nothing seemed to be too much, so it put us at ease knowing the project was being handled with care during such uncertain circumstances. Once the project was able to restart Joel and his team committed to completing the bathroom efficiently. As first time homeowners this was a BIG project for us and Joel was always respectful of that, knowing our budget. The main thing is that he always came in with an enthusiastic approach to everything which made us both even more excited to see the final result of the bathroom. We would highly recommend Joel LaRosa Design as he made our bathroom dreams a reality….. now we can’t wait to start our next project with him. The kitchen!

Joel designed our dream contemporary kitchen, utility room & downstairs toilet in our new extension. Having Joel to design these areas was a dream! His knowledge was invaluable, he was always ready with a solution if we hit a problem or made a change. Unfortunately COVID-19 impacted on the build and there was a delay on receiving everything including Joel’s items. It was very stressful but Joel was amazing, he communicated with us on a regular basis and reassured us even though it was probably a very worrying time for himself. Every meeting was a pleasure, he was never late and was never in a rush to leave. Nothing was too much trouble, he went above and beyond on everything. The quality of his products are exceptional! We would whole heartedly recommend Joel!

We used Joel for our new kitchen and couldn't have been more impressed with the quality of his service! He went above and beyond to help us get the kitchen we wanted within our budget, and was always on hand to help us with any queries we may have or to offer some expert advice. We couldn't be happier with the finished product and the level of service we received

We are beyond happy with the kitchen Joel has designed and installed for us. The level of both detail and craftsmanship is superb. We wanted a unique and design led kitchen, that was both affordable, but also had the "WOW" factor and Joel did not disappoint us on either of these aspects. His customer service is truly outstanding, nothing is too much for him and he goes above and beyond to ensure every single detail is perfect. Our kitchen is now the absolute hub of our home and it wouldn't have been possible without him!

We've recently extended our home to create a large family living space. The building process was full on, with many decisions to make every day, so working with a kitchen designer has taken a lot of stress away. There is so much choice of styles, colours, materials, so starting with a blank canvas can be daunting. Joel worked with us to create a functional space that matched our design style and added a wow factor to our home. Joel suggested solutions we wouldn't have thought about and accommodated our last changes to the design. Joel went above and beyond by also assisting with detailed plans for electrics, plumbing etc. and has been on hand to liaise with our builders, heating engineers, electrician and tiler throughout the entire planning and delivery process - you won't get this level of service from other kitchen suppliers. We're delighted with the end result, quality of materials and the installation process. Overall Joel is a great person to work with and made a daunting project fun and exciting.

Joel created a kitchen design/plan for us as we were struggling to find a good layout for our new home. Not only did he come up with some great ideas for layout, but his 3D plans were detailed and allowed us to visualise the space much more easily. He was happy to tweak things and make changes where we asked and made some great suggestions. I would definitely recommend Joel's design service!

Joel has helped us transform our new house into a home! We’ve always wanted a space that we can enjoy together, but we previously had a separate kitchen, dining room and living room. Joel really listens to his clients, and figured out what we needed the most. With Joel’s design we have been able to open the rooms up into a liveable open plan space that our family can really enjoy! We will no longer be stood in the kitchen cooking alone! We have a social hub where we feel able to entertain others without bumping into walls and doors. From the first meeting about our ideas, to agreeing the final design and implementing it has been a joy to work with Joel. Always on time, exactly on time! Which I don’t think I’ve experienced from ANY other person that’s worked on the house! His bubbly personality brings warmth to your homes! Joel has utilised the space to give us so tremendous amount of storage, even a corner cupboard which is the most assessable one I’ve ever seen! Our corner cupboard doesn’t need to store items we don’t need much because we can’t access them… We can see and reach everything in there because of the way the door opens! It’s these little touches that make a massive difference. We opted for an induction hob, as Joel recommended it, I was apprehensive at first but in actual fact its worked in my favour! My old pans didn’t work on it… so it was a good excuse to get new ones! Joel has been able to recommend products and appliances through the process, and even found the tiles I was desperate to have but were too expensive from the supplies I found. Joel researched them and found them at an affordable cost for us! Our kitchen looks AMAZING! It’s the first time we’ve been able to decide what works for us, so Joel’s design works perfectly in the space. I can’t wait to work with Joel again on our bathroom, as I am certain he will turn it into a fabulous space too!

Hi Ellen, Thank you so so much for your kind words!! I'm so glad to hear that not only have you got the dream kitchen in your home, it's versatile and functional for you and your family. It's great to hear about your experience, especially with the induction hob, I love to know what works for people. So excited to see those tiles up and also, work with you on your bathroom! Enjoy your new space and next time I'm over I'll have to stop by for a oaty tea

Joel has been an absolute pleasure to work With from the start to finish of this project. We began with a few initial meetings of minds to get the initial designs done. After having walls removed and doors blocked in we saw the space in a different light and Joel was more than happy to work with us to amend the initial ideas to fit the new space. Nothing was too much for Joel and he would be on hand with any questions/thoughts and ideas we had. I decided that I would like to install the kitchen myself and this was no issue with Joel at all. In fact Joel was always happy to take my calls when I got stuck and he had the answers to every question I had along the way (which were quite a few having never fitted a kitchen before). In summary Joel is a fantastic designer who is always bending over backwards to make the client (myself, wife, son and dog) happy. We have already spoken with Joel about the future projects and would recommend him to any of our friends and family.

Wow! What can i say?! A real breath of fresh air and a beautiful kitchen to boot! Joel had so many wonderful ideas and together, through discussion, we whittled it down to just two. He generated a 3D computer model and sent them to us for our decision, both designs were beautiful! We made very few tweaks, just the colour on the wall and radiator and the position of the wine rack (very important!). The actual project was so stress free and the project diary was kept to, ensuring that nothing overran. I have a terminal illness and we were concerned about the stress of having no kitchen for 3 weeks would have on my health but we shouldn't have worried at all! The whole project went like a dream. The team were friendly and helpful, even making themselves scarce for half an hour when my nirses came to attend to me, despite this eaning the woud have to work later to make up for this. They were amazing. Joel made sure her was on site often, checking with us that we were happy at every stage. The result is just amazing! We've gone from a horrid dingy 70s kitchen to a sleek modern design that i am so proud of. I highly recommend Joel LaRosa Designs, you get the best service I have ever received.

We have been working with Joel for several months now on a kitchen and shower room project. Every aspect of our contact with him has been excellent - punctuality, thoroughness, expertise, imaginativeness, quality of suggestions and listening carefully to what we (the clients) want. We are very happy with everything and it has all come in within budget, far more reasonable, but much more exciting than "off the shelf" kitchens and bathrooms.

Having commissioned Joel recently to design our Kitchen, it was great to meet someone who took the time to identify with our style and objectives. His interpretation of our brief was spot on and his passion came across in his designs and communications. I have really enjoyed the process of working with Joel and can fully recommend his level of detail and professionalism.

Joel recently designed a kitchen space for us and went above and beyond every other supplier to create a bespoke and well thought out space for our new home. He clearly loves what he does and takes great pleasure in creating designs that not only work functionally but have a wow factor. He was able to offer units in any colour, organise custom-designed items and advise us on where we could make savings without compromising on design. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Joel and would love to work with him again.

Joel came up with some great ideas for our living room/ kitchen and bathroom. He understood what we were looking for & suggested some fantastic and contemporary ideas to put that into practice. He listened to our feedback from the first design draft and adapted design to fit changes. Thank you for all your help and look forward to working with you.

We are about to embark on our third project with Joel, and are more than pleased to be doing so. Joel listens very carefully to what we want and are trying to achieve, and then he magically comes up with all the solutions. Even when something isn’t quite what we had in mind, he always gets us there without fuss or bother, and even manages to stay within our budget . We always know on which date everything is due to be done, thus keeping to the deadline. Joel also works with an incredible team of trades, all of which take the upmost care and professionalism in what they do. I have enjoyed bouncing ideas with Joel, and will be very sorry when we no longer have anything left to do.

I'm currently working along side Joel at a company fitting their new toilets... what an amazing man. He listens to other peoples ideas as well as having a great eye for design. He is very open minded and listens well to ensure he meets all his customers needs,including the fitters. I'd work any given day along side him, he is very clear and professional in what he does great work and a fantastic man. Anybody needing a little help with design, I would highly recommend.

As a director of a small independent company, I was looking for guidance and assistance on the refurbishment of my office. After approaching Joel and outlining my company needs to him, I was astonished by the breadth and knowledge of this young professional. Working from CAD drawings passed on by my architect, Joel guided me through a range of colour palettes that would catch my clients eye's and complementing them with soft furnishings, the worked carried out has certainly brightened up my working day. I couldn't recommend Joel enough, his professional outlook on the industry was second to none, and it seemed all he cared about was pleasing me, going out of his way to provide me with a service that I feel is virtually unrivalled in Leicestershire.
