After meeting with the company?s owner, Maria Larios and discussing various options and our likes / dislikes, Marias design team came up with a great plan for our property. This included a drawing of our yard showing where all the new plants and trees would go, and a list of all the plants, flowers and grasses so that if we wished, we could "shop around" and get quotes from other landscapers, or just do the work ourselves. Maria's price was very reasonable and because of a last minute opening in their schedule, they were able to start a couple of days later. Over the course of five days, the team from Lawncare Plus Design removed every plant, bush and tree from our yard (except for one very large Maple tree), and replaced it all with a wide variety of flowers, plants, grasses, and bushes. They added stone pathways alongside the house, added an curved seating wall alongside our existing patio. They also redirected the sump pump discharge (which used to just dump out the back of our house) into an underground drain pipe that now carries the water to the far corner of our yard. Everyone from Lawncare Plus Design was very professional. Every day, the workers cleaned up their messes and put their tools away. Maria was there every day to supervise the project and made sure everything went according to plan. We are VERY happy with the way everything turned out."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/glenview/lpd%2Barchitectural-stonescapes-reviews-162986.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"NORMANDY REMODELING","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"IL","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jay A."},"reviewBody":"The designer seemed very capable and professional at the first meeting at our home. We asked to hear some options about what could be done within our existing space. Talked about budget, which we stated as 10%-15% of the value of our home: were told that $50K (10%) would not give us what we want. We agreed to go higher hoping we would get quality work. Two weeks later we met at Normandy to see the design ideas. Very disappointing meeting. No original ideas. One option we requested was forgotten - she left it at another office. She was redrawing for us at the meeting. Her proposal, done on a computer design program, was not aesthetically pleasing, seemed incomplete. She said we could get an island in our kitchen only by widening our space, i.e. by knocking a wall down into the dining room. The cost quoted for all this was appr. $85K. She gave us what we thought was a \"detailed\" scope of work, 4 pages long, which would need to be signed in order to begin work. Looking at it later, we saw a number of errors and items not specified...(ex: we talked about hardwood flooring at our initial meeting, she included pre-finished in the scope of work; she included a price for knocking down the wall into the dining room, but nothing about rebuilding it or structurally supporting this load bearing wall). We asked for a revision trying to make sure that everything was perfect before signing anything. We received a revision a little while later with a note saying \"thanks for being so thorough...I did overlook some items\". This raised the price by another $4K! We did not hire them because we did not get the effort, creativity and detail we expected, especially for the price quoted. We are going with another kitchen design company, who is priced only a bit lower, but who came up with a much better plan within the existing kitchen space. Normandy appears to cater to higher end major projects of a $100K and above, and if this is what you require, then they may provide you with the proper effort and service. We were left with the impression that our job was not expensive enough and thus, not worthy of their time."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/il/hinsdale/normandy-remodeling-reviews-75003.htm"},"position":10}]}
Residential Design reviews from real Angi homeowners in Hillside, IL
We have used Hogan Design & Construction (HDC) for 5 projects over the past several years. These included: a kitchen refresh, adding a basement bathroom and a primary bath remodel. The workmanship was of the highest quality. There was excellent communication with the project managers. ...
We used In-and-Out Design to get ideas for materials to use for remodeling two full bathrooms. Mary was wonderful to work with. She listened to what we were looking for and gave us ideas for design. She helped two design challenged people agree on color and design. We love the results.

Rolando, the business owner, really worked with us on the design, and made sure we liked what we were getting. The work got done timely, and looks amazing! We are so excited to enjoy our beautiful patio in time for this summer!

Residential Design questions, answered by experts
You don’t have to commit to a complete home renovation to age in place comfortably—those can get pricey. Instead, focus on a few impactful changes. Consider adding a stair lift or installing ramps to eliminate barriers. Upgrading to non-slip flooring can prevent falls while adding brighter lighting can improve visibility throughout your home. These thoughtful updates can make your home much easier to navigate and enhance your comfort and safety without the stress and cost of a complete overhaul.
Open floor plans can come with drawbacks—mainly the lack of privacy and noise dampening. Walls act as an important barrier for traveling sounds, meaning in an open floor plan you could hear your dishwasher running while sitting in your living room. Storage limitations and separation of activities (for example, keeping the kid’s playroom away from the dining room) are other reasons some homeowners are opting out of an open floor plan.
Federal and Colonial architecture are similar in that they both appear mostly utilitarian and symmetrical, but Federal architecture is a bit more ornate. Federal design often includes decorative palladium windows, window lintels, and, sometimes, columns surrounding a more decorative portico. Inside, Federal architecture is set apart by its centrally-located oval room. Additionally, Federal homes tend to have brick facades, whereas Colonial homes more often have wood siding.
Current trends in custom furniture design are heavily influenced by a desire for sustainability and functionality, often incorporating reclaimed or eco-friendly materials. There is also a focus on multifunctionality, allowing pieces to adapt to various needs and spaces.
The process typically takes 2-6 weeks, depending on the project size and level of customization.
