"Adam and his team (Marco and Danny) are excellent! Removed old kitchen cabinets and granite counter top, put up new drywall and installed new cabinets with precision (my countertop is now level!), and they tiled backsplash. His communication with logistics/timing was spot on. He and his team worked efficiently to get the job done and quality of work is top notch. I would absolutely hire them again."

"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."

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

You should always hang the lights before the ornaments because hanging lights on top of ornaments can cause some to fall off. If a light sits directly on top of an ornament, it can cause it to heat up and possibly change its color or cause it to crack.

British architect John Nash is credited with creating the Italianate style of architecture. The style was further popularized in the U.S. by landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing and architect Calvert Vaux. The style spread across the U.S. due to Downing’s popular book on the style and the availability of plans and materials due to the mass production of the Industrial Revolution.

Professional holiday decorating services cost between $300 and $2,500 or more, with an average cost of about $1,500.
