"Denise was an absolute pleasure to work with during my kitchen redesign project. Despite the initial setback of a flood, she made the process so easy and stress-free. Denises expertise and guidance in identifying my personal design style were invaluable, and her ability to bring it to life was amazing. She even went above and beyond by coordinating with my contractors while I was out of town, ensuring that everything went according to plan. When we encountered a roadblock with the flooring being backordered, Denise was able to make an executive decision and choose the perfect floor for our kitchen without any input from me. Needless to say, she exceeded all expectations, and we were thrilled with the result. Denise truly has a talent for interior design, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to embark on a renovation project."

"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!"

"I went through HomeAdvisor website to search for a back splash contractor for our new condo. Somehow, I was added to the "Kitchen Remodel" service so got a call from Carolyn. I explained to her that all I needed was a contractor for a back splash not a whole kitchen remodel. Even though we were not going to use her designer service, Carolyn was kind enough to share with me the reference for her tile installer who also does interior painting which is another service that we need. In my opinion, she is a REAL PRO as other designers may not be willing to extend that courtesy."

Residential Design FAQs, 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.  

The main factors to consider when staging your home when selling are your budget, number of rooms to stage, and how long to keep the staged setup. Since home staging costs about $600 per room when using professional services, you may want to only stage the rooms that are most important to potential buyers, including the kitchen, living room, and primary bedroom. You should also consider which repairs or updates are necessary before staging your home, such as painting interior walls, carpet cleaning, and refinishing hardwood floors.

Yes, professionals can install decorative or colored glass block patterns for a unique look.

You can design your own closet, but it’s usually better to hire a professional to do the work for you. Not only will you get years of design experience to guide you toward the right layout and material choices, but you’ll also only pay slightly more hiring a professional than you would creating your own plans and hiring a carpenter. A high-quality closet designer can provide insight into how to lay out your closet, and they may be able to find you a good deal on the carpentry or complete the work using an affordable, in-house team.

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.
