Hi, I’m EDUIN,\n\nI am an experienced handyman with a professional background in architecture and property maintenance. This unique combination allows me to look at your home not just as a set of repairs, but as a complete structural system. I bring a high level of technical precision to every task.\n\nMy Experience:\n\nI have spent years working across both the design and physical upkeep sectors. My transition from architecture to hands-on maintenance means I understand the "why" behind how your home was built, which helps me solve problems more effectively than a standard quick-fix approach. From structural integrity to aesthetic finishes.\n\nWhere I Work\n\nI am based in Cape Cod, MA, and I proudly serve the local community. I am also available to travel to surrounding areas within a 30-mile radius for larger projects or scheduled maintenance.\n\nSpecial Skills & Expertise;\n\nArchitectural Insight: Ability to read blueprints and understand the structural needs of older and modern homes.

Interior Design and Decorating questions, answered by experts

Any homeowner can carry out interior decoration themselves, but many struggle to devise a cohesive and appealing design that balances comfort and aesthetics. Interior designers are not only trained in design principles, but they also design home interiors for a living, so they’re much more likely to produce a final product that meets your needs. Hiring a professional can sometimes lead to savings on the materials, as some experts know how to source more affordable decor and furniture via their professional connections.

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.  

Services include layout planning, furniture selection, color coordination, and lighting design to optimize your space.

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.

It’s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won’t expect it, but it’s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they’re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between 10% and 20% of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.
