Frequently asked questions

Home remodeling and design is the heart of our business. We love partnering with our clients to develop a complete design that works for your lifestyle while remaining fresh and relevant to today's time. Projects can be as small as a single room or as large as an entire home. We can specify everything from finishes and fixtures to furniture, lighting, art and accessories. We also design kitchens and bathrooms as well as manage a full team of licensed contractors to execute all of your project needs.
 
Each full-service design project begins with an initial phase to develop a complete design program (the project scope), a budget estimate, and initial space plans. The second phase involves detailed drawings, specifications, pricing, and coordinating with contractors to establish a schedule. The final phase consists of ordering furniture and other items followed by delivery and installation. In a remodel project, we also provide ongoing support throughout construction to ensure the project is executed as designed.
 
The introductory consultation for a full-service design package costs $100 for up to 90 minutes. If you proceed with a design project, the consultation fee will be credited back to the project fee.
 
We would love to meet with you at your home to walk through the space and discuss the possibility of working together. Please let me know what days and times work best for you and your family.
