"Monique staged my home and everyone complimented me on how the furniture was setup up, everything looked really nice and it helped me sell my home. I got 5X the money back from what her fee was. I would definitely suggest this business for anyone looking to stage their home. She was pleasure to work with and very professional."

"We purchased our home in 2008. It was a new construction and over the past 6 years we have been noticing more and more issues with the home with regards to what some may consider "normal settlement of a new home" After doing some research online, the issues we had could be considered that, but there were other issues which may or may not be related to a structural issue. Being that we have a warranty on the home, we needed an independent engineer to inspect the home and perform a thorough analysis of the dwelling. We contacted Anthony being that he was in the area. Our first communications with him was over the phone and immediately you know that this man is extremely knowledgeable. He asked us all the right questions and was able to answer as much as he could over the phone. He was able to schedule an appointment immediately due to our need to act fast with regards to the warranty. 
 Anthony showed up at our home on the agreed time and immediately went to work. He did a thorough inspection of the exterior of the house. Then upon entering the house and us showing him the problem spots. He immediately knew where to focus on with regards to the measurements. He did not rush, and made sure every possible angle was covered. He also gave us a detailed description of everything he did, why he was doing it, and made sure the results were explained in a fashion where non engineers could easily understand.
We needed to open up some of the walls in order for Anthony to investigate further. We set a date about a week later to have a contractor come over to open up the walls that Anthony marked off. once Anthony was able to access the bones of our house, his suspicion was confirmed. He easily identified a load bearing wall in our home that was not installed to code. Thus the weight of the second floor of our house was not being distributed evenly across the load bearing walls causing it to sag.
All that aside, we have high praise for Anthony. He is very fairly priced, especially for the amount of work he performs. He was able to provide us with a detailed engineering report on our house in less than 2 days after. His diligence with regards to addressing his clients needs is stellar. I honestly hope i will never have a need to hire another structural engineer (in the hopes that my house is fine) but i have already recommended him to my neighbor who has similar problems (same construction company built their house) I would not hesitate to hire Anthony again if ever i needed an engineer. 
5+ stars from this happy couple.
Thanks for everything, Tony."

"Went well. My family lived in the house during the 4+ month reno and the crew were always clean, respectful and kind. They would wipe down the floor protectors 1x per week and upon request. Project manager Luis took feedback on progress of job and always reacted/corrected promptly. Was visible on site every 2-3 days, but would always show up at the appointed time upon request and with helpful constructive solutions, many at no additional cost to me. Would never slam me with requests for last minute material needs where I would need to make a decision without reasonable notice. I was my own project manager for everything but the bathrooms, where I had a designer, and Luis could speak in both designer language and in 'normal person without construction experience' language at all times without dumbing things down. Would always explain the 'why' when he would explain the construction possibilities. They did parquet throughout the top floor in keeping with the rest of the 1920s townhouse that looks great. Across the board everyone exhibits great care in the final work product. Owner Anthony also straightforward and clear in all communication and office manager Allison helpful and attentive."

"I recently hired Ms. & Mr. Construction to build a new deck, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. They helped guide me through material choices and design options, while my budget in mind. The crew showed up on time, worked efficiently, and left the site clean every day. Highly recommend them!"

"Block made this process very simple (or as simple as it can be), and we are really happy with the design assistance we got, as well as them walking us through the design phase, procurement, board package, etc. Would definitely use again!"

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Forest Hills, NY

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.
