"As an integral part of the NFL organization and having a large family with 6 kids, I have to travel and move around a lot. Having Epic Smart Homes & Interior Designs as our designer for our home helped make the design and selection process as seamless as possible. Before we moved to the new state, they provided us with samples, photos, and a complete book for us to take with us after each visit that had every selection from exterior to interior so if we ever needed to get something fixed or repainted, we had all the information at our fingertips. They made sure to be on site and manage all of our decisions with the contractors and builder on a daily basis while we weren’t able to be there. They would meet us on site and keep us updated on everything that was completed or was in the process. In the end, we loved the house that Epic Smart Homes & Interior Designs and the Builder of Vistal Homes provided for us. It is still the favorite home of our family, of the 10 different homes we have lived in. The reason we loved it so much is that they did a great job of making it elegant yet practical. We could host many functions from toddler birthday parties, to Bible studies, to corporate functions and feel completely comfortable doing so. They did a tremendous job of listening to our specific needs, desires and dreams and then designing a magnificent home. I would highly recommend Epic Smart Homes & Interior Designs to work with if you want quality selections, great design ideas, and great communication during the entire process."

"When I first approached Savanna to renovate my family's 1978 vintage Lake Tahoe cabin for it's very first makeover, I had no idea it would evolve into a stylish mountain modern theme that would incorporate some old, treasured and sentimental pieces in a thoughtful, curated home. My family is so pleased that it still has the beloved cabin flavor filled with so many memories. Savanna listened to me (and the family), then streamlined the many types of selections I needed to make with her breadth of knowledge on finishes. It was so easy to work with her because her recommendations were spot on. Every purchase turned out to be better than I imagined. The result was a coherent, artful realization of an overall vision. She also worked seamlessly with the contractor and kept the work flowing throughout the process. I have no regrets on any decision and we are totally in love with our "new" and updated cabin. I thoroughly recommend Savanna Eccles"

"Epic Smart Homes is truly EPIC. I wish I had selected them from the start, it would have saved me 100 frustrating hours of my time and 3 months of no service because I tried to deal directly with the internet/phone/TV provider. It was a nightmare and once Epic stepped in, everything was handled in the most professional, efficient and Customer-First manner. Epic is in a league of their own on my list and simply the best."
