We had decided to work with Mary Jane on the design of the project, but in talking with her about what all needed to be done, we quickly discovered that she was used to being the General Contractor. She had a full complement of subcontractors. She found the kitchen design and construction crew; she had the electrician, plumber, painters, and demolition folks (Habitat for Humanity). She had multiple useful suggestions on how to better use the space that we had, and she helped us negotiate all of the decisions that have to be made when reconstructed space. We are thrilled that we found Adesso Interior Design to work with us. We highly recommend Adesso and Mary Jane to anyone starting a new project or renovating a current space. She was attentive and a week never passed that we didn't touch base on what was happening and what still needed to be done. When it comes time to redesign the lower level (basement) of our home, Mary Jane will be the first person that we call to discuss it. She is a JOY to work with.

Dead birds in our system in the first week in the house b/c they didn't put a $3 screen in. Their engineer designed our HVAC system, we are having all sorts of issues with the temp not being right with our 2nd floor unit. It is freezing in the front bedrooms, bonus is hot as all get out. When we called, they basically said we recommended something different but "your builder said do it this way". WHY would you let a general contractor tell you what the best solution is if you are the expert?!!! Their resolution to the fix is another $1700, which if they had done it right the first time would have made sense. Additionally, we have now come to find out the HVAC system for the main floor and basement are not to code. If we have a gas leak in our appliances it will draw right into the house. They engineered this system! They said they would rig it to work, but it has to have a return in the unfinished space. Which we are now air conditioning. Forget the asthetics that the units were placed on the side of the house instead of the back. Our kitchen hood vents to the front of home on a feature stone wall and required additional soffit build out. Why not run it up the roof? And they put our dryer vent over the garage bays instead of out the roof or down and out the basement.

We had a designer in to measure and suggest and I thought we had a good understanding of what was needed. When the CAD drawings came back for me to confirm, the measurements were wrong, the color of the insets was wrong, and the fixtures were wrong. It took two additional iterations to get it correct. Then when it was installed, it was still installed wrong and we had to have them back to fix the installation. I don't fault the installers. They were very professional and did exactly what was written on their copy of the CAD drawing. The problem was that their copy and what we had agreed was the final copy did not match. The product is good. We would use them again, despite all of the aggravation. They were quick to repair their mistakes.

Every aspect of this large project was done with efficiency and skill, as well as meticulous attention to detail. On the few occasions when I raised some small detail, Shawn was prompt, agreeable and cooperative in every way. I was also grateful to have the entire project overseen by one contractor, and was always able to contact Shawn easily. I was given frequent updates and visits from him as the project progressed. The new porch decking might serve as a small example of how they work: After removing the old decking and replacing some rotted joist sections, they precut the new decking, then stained each individual piece top bottom and ends, giving particular attention the the tongue and groove sections, before installing. After the decking was down they then applied no less that three further coats to insure that this new porch material will NOT rot and split like the old, which was unpainted except for the surface. During the entire process they maintained a temporary section of porch deck leading to my door, so that I wouldn't be inconvenienced by the work in progress. The only time I couldn't use the door was when the stain was drying!! Most especially, these folks are HONEST BROKERS! They didn't even require a downpayment until the work was 50% complete! You can work with them with complete trust. What the say they will do, they WILL complete and with pride of workmanship. I cannot express how grateful I am to have had this experience and I know I will be calling on them again as the interior of my house needs work. THANK YOU Shawn and Penny!

A crack developed in the basement floor and required some remediation by the responsible subcontractor. The design of the drip cap under the roofing shingles was problematic from am appearance perspective, but we opted to leave it , even though AHP offered to replace it at no cost. The project superintendent (C. Holloway) was the key to success once the construction began; without his dedication and expertise, it might have been a less successful outcome. He worked easily with us for work we wanted to do (in lieu of the AHP subcontractors) and made accommodations as needed to allow us time to complete our tasks. Many of the subcontractors were Hispanic, but generally the quality of their work was good, although on-the-job communication was at times difficult. It was important to be on the job site frequently and do our own inspections. One subcontractor damaged a security gate with his truck and did not report it, but was held accountable by AHP after we did. Because of the experience with subcontractors, I rated professionalism a \"B\". The quality of interior finish was generally good, but the painters made judicious use of putty. The interior moldings were all formed pressed fiber instead of wood; after painting, there was no way to tell, although the lack of durability against dings and dents showed up later. The paint on the front porch railings peeled after only a few months and the subcontractor came back to scrape and repaint.. It has since peeled again, but the house is out of warranty. The HVAC balancing was off for two rooms, but the subcontractor came back on two separate occasions and fixed it to our satisfaction. We are entering our third year in the house and love it. There have been no issues related to construction quality at this time."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/nc/statesville/america%27s-home-place-reviews-6238304.htm"},"position":7},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Envisions Distinctive Interiors","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"VA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Virginia C."},"reviewBody":"I had just had my den painted and was very happy with the color but needed assistance picking out a flooring that would blend with the walls and furnishing. My home was scheduled to be on the Smith Mountain Charity Home Tour in October of 2008 and getting it right was important to me. Carrie came out to my house and then I met her days later at her office with my paint sample in hand, to look at her suggestions. Her first one was a cork flooring that was very light. I don't like and have never had light floors in any rooms except bath or kitchens so I quickly and clearly told her I did not like it. She then showed me a darker version with a more brown hue which I loved and which blended beautifully with the paint sample. We proceeded to select a carpeting that went with both. Instead of writing down the number of any of my choices she left them together on the floor, the correct cork sample, carpet sample, and paint sample. Her partner took the cork sample that I didn't want and removed it to a table indicating that it should be kept away from the one selected so as not to get them mixed up. Carrie rushed off to work with another client. I was not home during the period when the flooring was delivered and installed. I was shocked when I got home to find that the light cork had been installed. It was awful and did not blend at all with the walls. I got in the car and went immediately to her office and she said I had picked out the light one, refused to admit that it did not go with the paint although we stood there together and anyone could clearly see the light cork sample did not blend well with either the paint sample or the carpet sample. She said she thought it looked fine and that the problem must be the lighting in my house. She has refused to take responsiblity for it and I had to repaint my den and buy another area carpet because the one ordered from her looked so awful. this was all because she didn't write it down when we selected the correct sample. If she was correct, it would make her the worse decorator in the world for picking out flooring that did not go with anything else selected in the decorating process. Stay away from this woman."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/va/wirtz/envisions-distinctive-interiors-reviews-2274220.htm"},"position":8}]}

FAQs for interior design and decorating projects in East Lexington, VA
Most interior designers have at least a four-year degree, if not an advanced degree in interior design. Additionally, many states require interior designers to be licensed. If your state does not require licensing, interior designers can take a licensing exam with the National Council of Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ). Overall, licensing requirements vary from state to state, but most licenses require certain education levels and experience to qualify. To check the qualifications of your interior designer, use Angi’s state licensing tool.
The difference between an interior designer and an interior decorator is that the interior decorator focuses on the space’s colors, furniture, art, and finishes. An interior designer goes beyond that to plan and execute layouts, structural changes, and overall functionality in addition to aesthetics that the decorator manages. We recommend hiring an interior designer for major remodeling projects and hiring an interior decorator to establish or enhance your home’s interior style.
On average, hiring an interior designer costs about $8,200, ranging from $200 to $65,000, depending on where you live, the size of your home, and the type of decor. The total price tag of interior design services is based on whether they provide consultation and implementation as well as any specialty design services, such as home staging or digital design mock-ups. Residential interior designers typically charge an hourly rate of $50 to $200 per hour, or up to $500 per hour in areas with high demand.
Hiring an interior designer is often worth the investment, especially for larger projects beyond DIY interior design and project management skills. However, the decision to hire an interior designer depends on your budget and the size of the project. Some benefits of hiring an interior designer include:
Realizing the best layout and decor for optimal functionality of the space for your taste, budget, and lifestyle
Managing your project to keep the job on track and within budget
