"Excel, did an excellent job answering our million questions and was courteous. We had an issue that wasn't Excel's fault. My wife wanted the patio doors that has the blinds inside the window. But the last update that Excel received from our village was it doesn't meet code. So we had to go with the regular patio doors. So once the windows and patio door was replaced, the village had to approve it. So as the village inspector was doing his job, I took it upon myself to ask why the village doesn't allow patio doors with blinds inside the windows. The inspector informed me that we can, the particular code was changed some time back. Excel wasn't aware of the change, so we immediately called Excel informing them of what we just heard. Excel without hesitation got us the windows that my wife originally wanted. Excel made my wife happy, which made me happy later on that night & that night our patio doors were changed to the ones she wanted!!! Thanks Excel!!"

"Master Bathroom Upgrade Review I highly recommend this construction company for any home renovation project. They recently completed an upgrade of our master bathroom, and the experience and final result were exceptional. The project was completed on time and on budget, which was a huge relief. I've heard countless stories of cost overruns and timeline delays, and I was genuinely expecting both. This company’s commitment to their initial proposal was a testament to their professionalism and meticulous planning. The team's craftsmanship was outstanding. The crew consistently arrived on time, starting their day at 7:30 am and working diligently until 6:30 pm. Their work ethic and dedication were truly impressive. My wife and I also felt completely comfortable and safe with them in our home. They were respectful of our space, only interacting with us when necessary The design process was a key part of our positive experience. Kim, our designer, did an outstanding job."

"We have hired Aerate 1 several times and have always been thrilled with their work. They planted a tree and provided pruning after the tree matured. They surrounded our above ground pool with drainage covered by pea gravel inside brick, and installed a paver walkway to the pool's heater. They landscaped the front and side with mulch inside brick. Every time they do work they make the site look better than when they arrived, even in areas only slightly impacted by their work. I highly recommend their company due to their excellent work and commitment to keeping their promises about when and what will be done!"

"i highly recommend J & P Brothers Landscaping. Juan helped me to design the landscaping, and he was prompt in getting the estimate to me. Juan and his crew were very professional and did an amazing job transforming my front yard! I will definitely be hiring them again for my backyard."

Customers say: Terrific value

"We really enjoyed working with Kristina for our bathroom remodel. She has a keen eye for design and recommended colors, fixtures and designs that were attractive and flowed with the rest of the house. She coordinated the demolition of the old bathroom, the ordering and build of all the necessary supplies, and all of the construction. Very happy with the result!"

"After a year of working with us, Marc designed the perfect home for our family. He spent significant time on site to get to know the space and spoke to us frequently to ensure his design met our hopes and dreams. His final design is visually stunning and maximizes space use in a way that reflects both the history of the home and modern preferences. His expertise in Chicago building code and city offices was instrumental in our project being approved quickly. He reviewed bids with us to ensure we selected a GC who could do the job and had competitive pricing. He regularly met and emailed with the GC and suppliers to address issues as they arose during the job so that all were resolved to our satisfaction. Throughout it all, he was just a nice guy to work with during a process that can be very stressful."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Downers Grove, IL

Start by defining your goals and budget. Collect photos of rooms you love, jot down must-have features, and list what isn’t working in your current space. Share these details—and your target budget—during the first meeting. The clearer you are, the quicker a designer can translate your vision into a workable plan and keep costs in check.

Yes, working with an interior designer can help you save money. Designers prevent costly missteps, secure trade discounts on furniture and finishes, and coordinate the project so you don’t pay twice for the same work. Their upfront fee often pays for itself in avoided change orders, tighter timelines, and materials purchased at below-retail pricing.

A full interior design project wraps up in two to three months, on average, while a decorating job takes four to eight weeks. Timelines stretch if you add structural changes, custom millwork, or specialty materials, and unexpected shipping or permit delays can tack on extra days. Talk with your designer about project milestones and build in a little wiggle room.

Interview at least three pros whose portfolios match your style. Review their credentials and ask for references. During a face-to-face or virtual meeting, discuss your goals, budget, and timeline, and make sure their communication style and fee structure feel comfortable. The right designer combines technical know-how with a creative approach that clicks with you.
