"Neighborhood Remodelers did a bathroom renovation for us in 2020. Mike Cooper was the project manager. They also replace all of the trim on our second floor fast forward three years later where we replaced our upstairs flooring and came to find out that Neighborhood Remodelers used 3 inch trim and elevated on the wall to act like 5 inch trim. Extremely shady. We also came to find out that they buried an electrical box even though they told us that they wouldn’t do anything like that. extremely disappointed with this company. Please think long and hard before using them."

I am an Interior Designer with more than 20 years of experience in Residential, Commercial, and Model Home interiors. Whether my clients need help choosing a new paint color, or a complete reworking of interior spaces and styles, I strive to listen well, understand their needs and bring together all the elements necessary to give them the look they will love. I firmly believe that for any design decision to be a good one, it needs to 1) look fantastic 2) be completely functional, and 3) be a great price. These are the factors that make any purchase a great value, and I strive to give my clients the best value possible. I love what I do, and have a passion to help my clients obtain the interiors they dream of, for a price they can afford. The scope of my services range from complete home remodeling, to a quick freshen-up for a single room. I've also branched out into staging for those who are intending to sell their homes, and with more than 15 years experience in the model home industry, I have unique skills and perspectives for marketing homes for quick and profitable sales. Specialties: Passed NCIDQ exams in 1989, and became a professional member of ASID. Won National Home Builder awards for sales office design and model home design Rates and Terms Design time shall be billed at $125.00 per hour. This includes time spent at client’s home, as well as drawing, drafting and planning time, Internet research, and shopping.

"Nancy is a gem! She is savvy, practical, and fun to work with. Nancy helped me make selections that I like, that also will enhance resale appeal and value. She also knows good tradespeople and sources, so I didn't have to hunt all over to get things purchased and installed. She also had some great staging ideas for when the time comes to list. I recommend her highly!"

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

An in-law suite is a private living area on or attached to a single-family home that acts as separate living quarters for family members. It should include a sleeping area and full bathroom, though most also include a small kitchen or kitchenette and a living area. Larger suites may also have space for an office or laundry room, which can add utility and increase independence for guests and residents.

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. 

To help the designer understand your vision, provide room dimensions, photos, and a list of needs or preferences.

One of the easiest ways to save money when hiring a holiday decorator is to provide storage for your decorations. If you have the space, you can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars by avoiding storage costs through your professional. It’s also a good idea to provide as much direction as possible for your professional, as this can cut down on design services. Finally, you can pay for your decorator to take down your decorations at the end of the season, but packaging and storing them yourself will save money on labor.

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.
