Home Creations Design

I have used Audi and Home Creations over the past 8 years for several misc projects including custom window coverings and drapes and reupholstering chairs. I even had them recover a futon I was going to throw away (now it makes a great extra bed when kids have sleepovers) I’m happy with the work every time. Audi is very pleasant and happy to either order fabric herself or guide you through the quantity needed so you can order yourself (Calico creations in Laguna Hills is a good fabric store). Their prices are competitive and turn times good. I have never had any problem with their workmanship. Audi has been very helpful in guiding me through fabric types too. Their Aliso Viejo location is very convenient.

While these folks are nice people, their work and in particular their installations are very disappointing. In my case, we had a decorative, fabric sunburst installed in a crescent window a number of years ago. The fabric work was well done and it has held up acceptably. However, the installation was almost shockingly bad.
Upon noticing that the sunburst was falling of the «hooks» recently, I took a closer look. Almost amazingly, «none» of the hooks (hardware) chosen was correctly anchored into the drywall/​window opening. Not one. All were simply screwed into the drywall and none had held. They couldn’t. The length of the engagement was only ½ inch, and not one anchor was used. In addition, when I looked behind the fabric, I noticed multiple area where the drywall had been damaged because, again, the hardware used was incorrect, and the installation was done poorly. (I know virtually nothing about such installations and, after a 5 minute discussion at the local hardware store, was I able to partially repair enough of the poorly anchored areas to temporarily fix the problem.)
Candidly, I am absolutely amazed that a company in business for more than a year or two can survive while performing such shoddy work. It is as if they had no idea how to install the product that they created for us.
I have no axe to grind and everyone has to make a living but, one’s work is a reflection of their business and their integrity. I could never recommend Home Creations based on the quality of work performed in my home.
