My journey into interior decorating and home staging began with a genuine love for design that I've carried since childhood. Growing up, I was always rearranging rooms, experimenting with colors, and finding ways to make spaces feel welcoming and beautiful. Friends and family often sought my help to transform their own homes, whether it was creating a cozy room or preparing a house to appeal to buyers. Realizing how much joy I found in helping others bring their visions to life, I knew it was time to turn this passion into something more. I decided to start my own business, where I could not only decorate but also offer home staging services. Now, I get to combine creativity with strategy, creating spaces that feel personal and designing homes that stand out in the real estate market. Each project is an opportunity to bring warmth, style, and functionality to the homes of my clients.

"Everything turned out fine. When it first arrived, it was damaged in the shipping. It took them quite a while to get something back to us, or even to call me back when I wrote to them. But then, once they got the ball rolling, it went very quickly. It took them probably about a month to even get back to me. The price was very good. Once somebody actually did speak with me, they were very responsive. They were pretty professional when I spoke to them. I just think that they were light on manpower."

"Had a burned cable smell in our house. I looked up for an electrician on Angie's List and and randomly picked this company and called them. There were very responsive. They came over in around 20 minutes. This is great! A for responsiveness and punctuality. They started checking each power outlet in the house to locate the root cause. After spending an hour, they found a box with a loose wire and fixed it. The smell diminished and eventually went away after their service. So, they deserve A for Quality. 
One thing I did not like was the ridiculous amount of time they spend on insignificant tasks. I had a light switch that was warmer than usual so they wanted to measured the temperature of the switch using the laser thermometer I gave them. They spent around 10-15 min to get a reading on the thermometer. Eventually they gave up because the thermometer did not return any meaningful value. Their time is very expensive so every minute they spend should be spent efficiently , effectively and professionally. 
Finally they finished their work, packed their tool box and left the house. They both got in the van and sat there for around 15-20 minutes. Then one them got out of the van to bring me the invoice. Checking the invoice carefully, I realized they charged me for the time they sat in the van and write up the invoice which should not have taken more than 5 min to begin with. Preparing an invoice is not an electrical service, it is an administrative service. Therefore, I find it unacceptable to charge the client the top dollar for filling out paperwork. Almost every company I worked with send their invoice by mail after they provide the service. The ones that need to charge for the service on premises do it very quickly and do not charge me for the paperwork time. I find this both unethical and unprofessional. 
Customer support was somehow helpful and agreed to reimburse for a portion of it."

"I was having problems with the installation of a Rind camera door bell. I talked to ring and the recommended Hello Tech to help me finsh the installation. They contacted me and came to the house the very next day . The technician was extremely helpfull and installed a jump wire so my exixting door bell wound be compatable with the Ring system"

"It is a waste of money. The great majority of people are not going to find any value out of the service. If you need design consultation, you need a full service consultation. If you already have knowledge and experience, and you just need to get a few ideas, then you don't need to pay for that. You can just get a magazine or a book since you already have the knowledge of basic designs in your head or a little bit of experience. To have someone call you and give you information over the phone, you are not getting the personal service that you need. You may as well take the money $49 and apply it to something else like getting someone else to come out and give you the service that you need. Because, you are not getting much, you are not getting anything at all. They are going to have you do the work. After talking to them and I was talking to other home designers, I found out that that was a waste of time and waste of money. I gave them a C because they didn't fail at what they do but they don't offer any value for what they do. There's not much value to it. The cost was fair. They didn't do a terrible job and the cost isn't terrible, it was only $49. It just has a very low value. For responsiveness I gave them a B because they will answer your phone and answer your emails."

"Very professional, responsive to texts. Gave me a fair estimate based on a walk through of my property. Showed up on time, did the job well and sent photos. Great to work with!"

"Excellent - I ended up hiring someone to help with shopping and finishing piece - waste of time and money. Jill's service was by far the most useful and best value in my decorating process.
