Worst Ever
I would love to say that I had the pleasure of working with this firm that is far from the case. Shelly Handman and Chris Eskra come off as being wonderful and caring people in the intital meeting. They say that they care about your likes and dislikes and take that into consideration when they are designing "your" home. This is far from the case. My preferences for "my" home were not shown in the desing that they showed me. Chris continuely argued with the architect to the point that I did not want to answer the phone. The billing hours are by far outrageous. How does it take and hour to email design ideas? And then they want $250 for the hour that was spent. Shelly was very gruff and pushy with me when I told him that I did not want certain pieces in my home. He just kept pushing me on the few items to the point were I paid my final invoice and have hired a new firm that is easier to work with. I DO NOT RECOMMEND GETTING INVOLVED WITH HANDMAN ASSOCIATES AT ALL!!!!!!
From the trade's point of view, excellent experience.
Here is a point of view from someone in the trade who works with Handman Associates on a regular basis. We have a lot of fun collaborating on projects. Shelly and his staff are easy going, open minded and completely professional. The staff is responsive to any questions I may have pertaining to the project so that I can facilitate quickly that which needs to be presented to their client and then later ordered. Handman Associates is on my top 12 designers list. Great people with whom to work, great projects in which to be involved and invoices paid promptly.
Top Notch
As a trade source for Handman Associates, we have nothing but praise. Not only are their designs top notch, but it is matched with professionalism by Shelly and his staff. In one case, where our supplier had an unexpected delay, they handled the situation with great finesse and aplomb. A firm's real character shows through at times like that and they showed real mettle. All of our other interactions have been equally telling. Highly recommended.

Great Remodeling Job by Designer Eskra – Blending the Old w
brought to you by
Citysearch
My house was originally built in 1926 and a new section was added in 1969 so when we decided to do some major renovations, we knew we had a challenge on our hands. Whoever would design the changes would have to blend the old with the new and work with the architect to give us the ultimate look we were seeking. Chris coordinated the architect, the carpenters, tile setters and the finishing...

I just loved working with Handman Associates and especially Chris. The entire team was wonderful. I could not be more pleased with the final look of my home, it is everything I hoped to achieve in working with a professional design studio. Chris was creative and listened when I expressed what I wanted the final interior to look like. My life has been greatly enriched by my beautiful apartment...
