"To whom it may concern, I am Marcos Martinez I live in the area of Bergen County to be exactly in 314 Henry st Fairview NJ 07022. Three weeks ago I wanted a renovation in my apartment and one of my friends recomended me Mario Cana from C&J PAINTING AND CONSTRUCTION LLC, and I contacted Mario Cana from C&J PAINTING AND CONSTRUCTION LLC to look at the job that I needed and get an estimate from him, later on we got a deal with his company and I asked him to get me the job before a certain day and I was suprice that they accomplished what I asked for. His crew has done a wonderful job. The crew of Mario are always on time, professional and work hard to get the job done in a timely manner. I highly recommend Mario Cana and his company C&J PAINTING AND CONSTRCUTION LLC for any general construction needs."

"Carlos and his team did a great job on my kitchen remodel. It ended up being a bigger job than anticipated, but they were able to handle all of the extra work that my old house needed without blowing out the budget. I really appreciated that they kept me in the loop when surprises cropped up, and walked me through possible solutions. Would definitely recommend!"

"The kitchen looks great. Nicer than we expected when we talked about replacing our kitchen. Team performed extra minor tasks that came up during the project. Project took extra time to finish up, but was able to use kitchen during that time. The cabinets that were delivered had some issues which were handled by Segreto Builders. Extra costs added to the project were reasonable and understandable. Wished we had better understanding of allowances used or not used on the project."

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.

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