"Yuval and all his guys were great. I had a contractor before who left me in the middle of the project so I was very stressed. Yuval was kind and available for questions throughout the project. Also I want to thank Kery for the guest bathroom design, Ruffo…., etc. just all the guys who worked here. Yuval said I was the best customer because I just let their guys do their work without interrupting. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do. He asked me to trust him and even though I after my previous experience I didn’t want to everything turned out pretty good. Thank you Brother & Brother for getting me through to the next phase. I will call you again."

"Danilo and his crew have done an excellent job on the two bathrooms and a bedroom. They are now painting the exterior of the house and, again, doing an excellent job. They pay attention to the smallest detail and do a professional and thorough job."

"Mika was our project manager and she helped us navigate the process of designing and brainstorming the kitchen and told us what was in our power to do (the kitchen is a small space). As far as quality is concerned, the contractors that Mika worked in coordination with were friendly (the Farcon crew) and kept things pretty clean throughout. I'd recommend them for a kitchen project for sure. We went from drab 1950s counters and plain wall and linoleum to fabulous quartz countertop and Heath tile and modern hybrid flooring."

"Our kitchen remodel with McCormick Home Builders went beyond our expectations. Leoni and her team took the time to understand exactly what we wanted. The open layout design changed the way we use the space, and it’s been perfect for family gatherings. They were prompt, courteous, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy. Really impressed!"

"Karen was tremendously helpful in guiding us through the process of ordering cabinets for our whole home remodel. We would have been lost without her. Not fully understanding how forward-thinking you must be when designing the spaces for your home, Karen went on and beyond to show us a variety of design options to meet our needs. She was also extremely patient and kind with us while we were making our decisions, all the while, keeping us aware of timing deadlines and discount options. Whenever we had questions, she was there to assist us. She answers her phone and responds to messages in a timely fashion. My husband and I felt very well taken care of and that she was excellent regarding service and support. I would highly recommend Karen and Kitchen Design Services."

Residential Design FAQs, answered by experts

Federal and Colonial architecture are similar in that they both appear mostly utilitarian and symmetrical, but Federal architecture is a bit more ornate. Federal design often includes decorative palladium windows, window lintels, and, sometimes, columns surrounding a more decorative portico. Inside, Federal architecture is set apart by its centrally-located oval room. Additionally, Federal homes tend to have brick facades, whereas Colonial homes more often have wood siding.

Envision the type of bar experience you'd like to create for your guests. For example:

  • Does your basement have enough finished space for bar stools or seating?

  • What type of additional lighting would set the tone for the room?

  • Are there basement windows or an HVAC system?

  • Do you need new plumbing in your basement for a proper wet bar?

  • Could you be happy with a built-in wall cabinet bar rather than a full-scale wet bar?

Yes, staging a home really works and can help your home sell faster, potentially for a higher price than if you did not use a home staging service. According to the National Association of Realtors, 48% of seller’s agents reported home staging decreased a home’s time on the market. 

Plus, 20% of buyer’s and seller’s agents claimed home staging increased home sale prices by 1% to 5%. Although decluttering and cleaning help a home sell, staging can take your home’s curb appeal to the next level, helping to expedite the process and increase your profit.

Adequate storage, workspaces, and energy-efficient systems are key considerations.

The biggest and best home theaters are 24 by 15 feet, but in smaller spaces you can make do with 15 by 20 feet, 10 by 12 feet or even smaller. You should aim for a ceiling height of about 9 feet. Remember, the size of your theater will affect layout, projector placement, screen size and other factors.
