"We had 4 windows and 3 patio doors replaced and the exterior of our home painted. I can highly recommend the service we received from Be Home Remodeling. The project manager was very responsive throughout the process and the installation and painting professionals were top notch. The windows and doors were all replaced in just one day! The rest of the work was completed in about 1 week. We also feel the pricing was fair. We love our new windows and patio doors. And our newly painted house looks like new."

"Working with Sabrina at Fresh Start Living was one of the best decisions we made for our home. She updated the old interior of our recently purchased home and redesigned the landscape of the front and backyard. She knew how to combine different styled flooring and counter pots to flow well, and recommended certain lighting layout and stone materials for the yard to elevate and modernize the old landscaping. She took the time to go to local nurseries with us to help choose flowers, trees, and plants that fit our vision and budget. Another thing that stood out for us was that Sabrina shared a percentage of her corporate designer discounts for the interior materials with us, which saved us money?something no other designer offered. She has several clients but would always answer questions by end of day and address concerns patiently and always with a great attitude. Working with Sabrina was a great decision and recommend her to anyone that wants personalized design work for their home"

"Juliana Carlesen is outstanding in every way. In the short time we've worked together to re-design my living room, she has helped me to re-think so many aspects of my life - how I live and work and entertain in my space and how to integrate my overly active puppy! She combines best features of an interior design company, a creative artistic eye and imagination, practical know how and an extensive network of outstanding professionals. Most importantly, she has a compassionate heart and a kind nature. I recommend her whole heartedly and without reservation. Catherine Pyke"

"It was a pleasure to work with Eric, we hired him for a complete backyard renovation which included tree removal, leveling the surface and place pavers and a deck on top. Also built a retaining wall. The work came out very nice in part because of the great design ideas that Eric gave us. The project ran into some unexpected issues that Eric was able to overcome nicely. We were impressed how Eric handled the project and met all the deliverables, also his team was extremely polite an professional. Our backyard now looks like the ones advertised in magazines. All this led us to start a new project with him to replace the cracked driveway with nice new pavers."

"We hired Sonia Jimenez from Topview Design Solutions after being recommended by our contractor and, from the very first meeting, we felt she was the right designer to execute our ideas professionally. The project involved moving one of the exterior walls of our house to line up with an exterior corridor to create the space for a bigger kitchen. The one caveat was that we wanted the final look to blend seamlessly with the rest of the house and not to look like an addition. Sonia designed the space after taking all this into consideration and drafted the necessary permit drawings. The final product is great: the house looks like it was built originally the way it looks now but more attractive and stylish, and our kitchen is really what they called a chef kitchen with estate of the art appliances and beautiful cabinets and finishes. Sonia is very efficient, well-organized, and a talented designer who really took the time to listen and get to know us. We are thrilled with the way our home turned out and I d recommend Sonia to anyone."

"Shilpa did an amazing job designing an addition to a home we bought. It included remodeling an extra framed garage into a master bedroom suite, laundry room and powder room plus adding to its size . The project also included doubling a great room to blend into the house with the new suite as well as opening up the kitchen to this great room and raising the ceiling . The design blends really well and will provide a nice open plan for living and entertaining I was impressed with how well Shilpa understood what we wanted and executed the plans in the time frame promised if not earlier. She also pushed it thru the planning dept. with minimal need for changes. The project is on going and is moving along well Shilpa is always available to answer questions as things progress. The contractor feels she is easy to work with as well. I really enjoyed working with Shilpa and easy her demeanor ."

Interior Design and Decorating FAQs, answered by experts

Improper hanging can damage the artwork, misalign it, and decrease its visual appeal, potentially compromising its structural integrity.

It’s unlikely. Not many baseboard heaters come with designs that offer the option to switch to a new kind of cover, but you can certainly ask the manufacturer for more information. Keep in mind, a cover with the same dimensions as your old cover isn’t guaranteed to fit because clasps, screws, and brackets may be in different places. The only way to be sure is to find an alternate cover that’s made to work with your specific model.

An architect is usually involved in the process of determining the layout and structural features and requirements of the home itself, taking into account the local codes, climate, and materials needed to make the home structurally sound. Architects may communicate more with contractors and subcontractors throughout the building process. In comparison to architects, interior designers typically focus on the aesthetics of a home interior and possibly exterior, helping the homeowner decide on color schemes, textures, and materials to incorporate into the design. 

To help the designer understand your vision, provide room dimensions, photos, and a list of needs or preferences.

How long it takes a kitchen designer to complete their work ranges greatly, from just a few hours, to a couple of weeks. Their timeline depends on how complex the design is and the scope of your kitchen remodel. Some remodels are aesthetic and can be as simple as adding new countertops or different cabinets. Those designs will take less time than, for instance, a full gut of your kitchen with a whole new layout and all new appliances.
