"They were prompt and courteous, the front wood repair looks great and if the rest of the work had been done that well it would be great, however, the back of the house was slipshod and slapdash. The wood that was replaced should have matched in size, but is 1/2 inch or so smaller!? Left staples in siding and called it complete! The Interior of the house has nails exposed that came through from the outside nailing?"

"Needed fencing installed to keep groundhogs from taking up residence under our deck. Brady came up with a creative and complete solution that made sure the varmints were out and would not return. Would use again."

"I have worked with Artisan Home & Heritage in my business to help me set up a sales area and also personally in designing my bathrooms. Working with Emily is so easy. She is professional and really knows how to mesh my wants with a great design plan that I could never do on my own. I highly recommend them for anything business or personal that you need help with a design or direction to go."

I'm Jeremy Jarrett, owner of Framed In Home Repair in Fayetteville, NC and surrounding counties. I've spent 20+ years in residential construction, and I started Framed In to do the kind of work I'd want done on my own house: honest, careful, and done right the first time.\n\nI handle drywall and painting, carpentry and framing, tile and flooring, bathroom remodels, door installation, siding repair, fixture and plumbing repairs, and general home repairs everything from hanging interior doors to crawlspace support beams and vapor barriers. I'm based in Fayetteville and serve Fayetteville, Spring Lake, and nearby communities.\n\nWhat sets my work apart is simple: I treat your home like it's my own, I show up when I say I will, and I don't leave until the job is finished properly. You get straight answers, fair pricing, and photos of the finished work no surprises.\n\n

Interior Design and Decorating FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, most designers tailor plans to fit your budget. Discuss financial constraints during initial consultations.

Costs range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on project size and designer experience.

While the terms 'interior designer' and 'interior decorator' are often used interchangeably, they represent distinct professions with some overlapping work. The primary difference lies in the scope of their projects.

An interior decorator focuses on the aesthetics of a space, making less permanent decisions about decor. Their work involves selecting colors, fabrics, furniture, wall art, paint, and other finishes to 'dress' a room and enhance its style.

An interior designer has a broader scope that includes a decorator's aesthetic focus but also extends to the structural and functional aspects of a space. Designers are qualified to plan layouts, make structural changes, and manage overall functionality. They handle permanent decisions regarding fixtures like cabinets and bathtubs, establish floor plans, and may hire contractors.

Due to the technical skills required, interior designers typically have formal education, certification, and may hold a license, which can result in higher fees. As a general rule, it is best to hire an interior designer for major remodeling projects and an interior decorator for projects focused on establishing or refreshing a home's interior style.

While finding a local interior designer whose portfolio you like and whose fees match your budget is important, they should always have appropriate qualifications. Some states require interior designers to be licensed, and most will have a degree in interior design and certification through the National Council for Interior Design Qualifications (NCIDQ). You can also consult our directory of interior designers to get started.

Yes, professional designers collaborate with contractors to ensure seamless execution of the design plan.
