"We recently had our bathroom remodeled by Be Home Remodeling, and I just wanted to share how happy we are with everything. Pouria, our project manager, was great — super organized, always kept us updated, and really listened to any concerns we had. Any time we needed something or had a question, he handled it right away. The crew (Manuel, Isaí )did an awesome job. They worked cleanly, were respectful of our home, and the quality of the work shows. The bathroom turned out even better than we expected, and we honestly love how everything came out. Overall, it was a really smooth experience, and we’d definitely recommend Be Home Remodeling and Pouria if you’re planning a remodel."

"Working with Francisco and his team was amazing! From start to finish, they made the whole process of remodeling my house so easy and stress-free. Francisco really listened to what I wanted and came up with creative ideas. He was very responsive and always kept me in the loop. The final result is even better than I imagined. My house looks incredible and I’ve gotten so many compliments from friends and family."

"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"

"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!"

Residential Design questions, answered by experts

Deciding to hire an interior designer or an interior decorator is entirely dependent on what you’re looking for out of your project and your budget. Interior decorators typically cost less than interior designers, both in hourly rates and overall project costs. 

If you want to add furnishings to your home but it’s otherwise set with permanent fixtures, an interior decorator would be best for you. However, if you are looking to remodel your home or are building a new home and would like help with permanent structures like cabinets, showers, and overall layouts, an interior designer is best.  

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.

Designers optimize space, improve aesthetics, and recommend durable, high-quality materials.

Building a home office addition can take three to four months to complete, while renovating an existing room into a home office may take two to six weeks, depending on the extent of the renovations. Your project’s timeline will depend on permit approvals, material availability, site prep, construction delays, and other factors. Your general contractor can keep you up-to-date on estimated completion times.

A Jack and Jill bathroom is not considered an en suite bathroom. An en suite bathroom is a private bathroom connected to one room, like a primary bedroom. A Jack and Jill bathroom connects two rooms and has two entrances, so it’s not entirely private.
