"When I moved into my home, I knew I needed help with everything from organizing and decorating to selecting paint colors and creating a space that felt cohesive and welcoming. What I didn’t expect was how much of an impact Abigail would have on my family’s life. She has an incredible eye for design and organization, but what truly sets her apart is her ability to transform a house into a home. She listened carefully to what was important to me, worked within my style, and helped create spaces that are both beautiful and functional for my family. Throughout the entire process, she was professional, patient, creative, and genuinely invested in helping us create a home we love. Her talent is remarkable, but she’s also simply a wonderful person to work with. I am incredibly grateful for everything she has done and cannot recommend her highly enough. If you’re looking for someone to help organize, decorate, redesign, or bring new life to your home, you will be in excellent hands."

"The carpenter that did the job (Adam) was amazing. He had to expand the space for one window, narrow the space for another, and repair much cedar siding that had rotted away due to water damage. He also reshaped my patio door so it would close and lock more easily. He is a very talented carpenter and I have no qualms about highly recommending him."

"Victoria is amazing. My project was an immediate one with a small window of opportunity, and Victoria responded and was available exactly when I needed her. She worked long days with me to help my sister move into a 3 room senior living apartment. She managed to turn a jumble of beloved furnishings into a real home that was inviting, comfortable, and completely comforting in its familiarity. Her eye for space and utility is excellent, she listens carefully and is wonderfully sensitive to the client. She is gentle with her suggestions, always making sure that the client actually likes where things are placed and how they look. Victoria continues to work with us to place artwork and other items that will go on the walls, and then she will help finish the space with suggestions on curtains and bedding. She is also sensitive to price, and offers a range of solutions. I cannot recommend Victoria highly enough."

"Hired LCA Home Improvement to replace the entire roof. They kept us apprised during the entire process from start to finish including helping us select the best color shingles to go with the exterior of our home.

We received top notch service from Carlos and Luis! Price was reasonable. I will definitely hire them again. Bottom line... Call these fine folks for any roofing needs."

Interior Design and Decorating FAQs, answered by experts

Interior decorating services usually include an initial consultation to discuss your needs and determine a style and budget that works for your space. From there, your professional designer could offer a wide range of services, including the following:

  • Determining a useful layout of furniture and decor in your home

  • Choosing flooring, paint colors, trim, and other accents

  • Coordinating color schemes and design styles throughout your rooms

  • Choosing, purchasing, and coordinating the installation of furniture

  • Choosing and installing pillows, wall hangings, and other decor throughout your home

You can hire a few different experts to redesign a kitchen. The best option depends on your goals, budget, and timeline. For small updates, we recommend hiring a contractor who specializes in kitchen renovation. For extensive updates, a general contractor might be your best bet since they’ll have experience with all aspects of the remodel. If you’re looking for more ideas in the planning stage, you can hire an interior designer or a kitchen remodeling company. Both options will help you thoroughly envision your new kitchen before the remodel begins.

Hiring a high-quality interior decorator should always start with reading through online reviews to see the kind of experience other homeowners have had. You can narrow down your search and then ask the remaining companies for references and examples of their past work. It’s during this stage that you’re likely to find a company that suits your specific tastes and one that has experience with the style you want to bring into your home. You should consider calling references to ask about the process and the homeowners’ experiences with the decorator before, during, and after service.

It is usually worth it to hire an interior decorator, especially if you want your home to have cohesiveness and look like it belongs in a catalog. Interior decorators can be quite expensive, but decorating isn’t an ongoing cost, so you can expect to pay once for the service rather than on an ongoing basis. Interior decorating can be especially worthwhile if you’re selling your home, as house staging can make your property feel more welcoming and help buyers envision themselves living in the space.

Costs depend on project size, customization, and the designer’s experience and hourly rate.
