"We had a large blank wall and high ceilings. The space needed something more. Jen was great to work with. She asked what our goal was for the space . She gave us a few options then designed a wall unit with a mantle. It’s beautiful. We love the new addition to our home."

"Last week I had Trident Contracting replace my roof and siding, I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial inspection with Nathan and Robert they both clearly explained all my options without any pressure, to the final cleanup, the entire process was seamless and stress-free. Nathan was great about working directly with my insurance company and providing them with all the necessary information. My insurance company didn’t make things easy and Nathan continued working with them to get the roof and siding approved due to storm damage. The crew was professional, arriving on time and working tirelessly throughout the day to finish the job in the same day. I was especially impressed with their attention to detail—they made sure to protect my landscaping and did an absolutely immaculate job cleaning up afterward. A project manager was on-site to ensure everything went smoothly and continued to follow up."

"We are a commercial business located in Georgetown Washington DC. We hired Aaron to help us acquire a floor plan and site plan. Not only did Aaron provide quality work, he responded to our messages/emails right away and he completed our drawings before the deadline we needed them by. It was very refreshing to have an overall positive experience doing business with this company! Thank you again."

"Oscar and his guys were top notch. They quoted a very reasonable bid for the amount of work and performed on budget and on schedule. I ended up using them for the rest of my basement remodel (in addition to the plumbing that I originally hired them for) because I was so happy with the customer service and professionalism. The remodel is nearly complete and I am very happy with the progress and work done so far down there. Will definitely reuse them in the future for other projects."

Interior Design and Decorating FAQs, answered by experts

Some architects include interior design in their portfolio of offerings, while some architectural firms employ interior designers to handle that aspect of home building projects or refer clients to interior designers they’ve worked with in the past. Ask a local architect whether they offer interior design services as well.

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.

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. 

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.

The cost to have your house decorated for Christmas depends on the extent of your holiday vision. Interior decorators charge between $50 and $150 per hour on average, so if your decorations are minimal, you could pay as little as $200 for a couple of hours of decorating. Interior decorators might also bill $5 to $12 per square foot, or a flat rate of $500 to $1,300 per room. You can also pay to have your Christmas tree professionally decorated for an average of $200 to $600. Contact a local interior decorator for a specific quote.
