"Easy to follow directions. They arrived sooner than I expected and they fit perfectly. My table has an intricate design at both ends and 2 leaves. Everything was perfect and the quality was great."

"Our experience with Hal was excellent. Before any of the work began we met with Hal a couple of times to describe our needs and discuss design options. Hal is a good listener and after our meetings he proposed ideas that immediately reflected that. During the job he kept in regular contact with us and solicited our preferences when situational design or construction decisions needed to be made. Hal and his crew were always courteous, friendly and very pleasant to have working around the home. They were also very trustworthy. The main thing that drew us to Hal was that each job he does is a custom design and is piece-built, no pre-fab. Hal is truly a craftsman which is very rare to find. Hal used high quality, sturdy materials. The fence is straight, solid, and very pleasing to the eye. We're immensely pleased with the outcome. We heartily endorse Hal. We felt so pleased and comfortable working with Hal that we have hired him to do some other projects on our home.

"We had two objectives. One was to replace some rotted posts in the back yard fence and the other was to enclose the yard by adding gates and fencing at the south and north sides of the house so that our two kitties can't get out and other critters can't get in. I had an idea in my mind of what I wanted, but, Amy Nosbush Reinke, their sales rep brought an idea book out that caused me to do more thinking about the project. She also communicates by email, which I appreciate because it reduces the phone tag method of communicating. The project was done during some of the worst weather of the summer - heavy rains that flooded the back yard and then excruciating heat. Communication is important to me, and Amy is quick to answer questions and concerns. The project went smoothly. I was really concerned about my gardens and the damage that would be done. But the men who did the repair were careful and I don't think it could have been completed with less damage. We are completely satisfied with the design, the installation and finished product and would definitely call Artistic Fence for other fencing projects.
The project did not involve posts and pre-manufactured sections of fencing. It was made to duplicate the shapes of the rails in our deck.
I was also impressed by a certificate of warranty given to us with the final bill that spells out the terms and coverage in plain language. I got the feeling that Artistic Fence doesn't just take the money and run, but wants satisfied customers and is confident enough in their workmanship to issue a five year warranty. I will refer them to friends and family that want fencing done without hesitation."

"They were trimming in our neighborhood, came door to door, pleasant to talk to. We had wanted to get the branches away from our roof and clean up the appearance of our tree's. They gave us a quote, we haggled a bit and we settled on a price. They came, trimmed the tree's being careful around our flower beds and yard decorations. I asked to have a few more branches cut off and they did so with no hesitation. They cleaned up the front and backyard spotless. I will keep the card and call them again if I need any tree work done.

"We purchased an older home, built in 1921, in the Summit Hill neighborhood of Saint Paul. It was in terrible condition -- a "fixer upper." It was the ugly duckling on the block. It was in bad need of new siding and windows throughout. We knew about Hoffman Weber (HW) and Jason Iwig from previous dealings at our old house in Bloomington. Those dealings resulted in a separate five-star review on Angie's List. So, when HW's estimate for windows and siding came back in the same ballpark as a couple of other very reputable companies, we immediately retained HW as our contractor. Jason met with us immediately after we committed to the project. He's extremely knowledgeable when it comes not only to the various siding products available but especially with respect to customizing design and aesthetic, with great attention to details like jut-outs, standard siding for lower and shake siding for upper, and decorative corbels etc. He was also able to provide several financing options from cash to a ten-year loan with relatively good rates. He was able to approve us on the spot. Jason then handed the project management over to Tim, who served as the foreman of the project by making regular visits and ensuring the crew had more than enough material on site to get the job done. Like Jason, Tim is extremely knowledgeable, thoughtful, and professional. He was always available to answer questions or address concerns, and always in a satisfactory (reasonable) manner. I'm sure all HW installers are great, but we feel we got particularly lucky with our installer crew, led by Boris. He was meticulous with his attention to detail, right down to the replacement of cable tv cords along the house. Everything had to be perfect with this guy. Yes, this meant a somewhat slower completion time, but I'll take slightly slow and meticulous over fast and sloppy any day. HW is the party that ultimately pays for this process, but it doesn't seem to bother them because our satisfaction always seemed of primary concern for them. Our 1921 house at 1116 Saint Clair Ave was an outlier in the neighborhood when we moved in, for all the wrong reasons. Now it's an outlier for all the right reasons. With Jason's help and artistic flair, we decided to use Hardie siding in the color Countrylane Red, with Arctic White trim. But we chose Birch Bark for the shake siding up on top, with a jut-out supported by corbels. We're happy. Our new neighbors are ecstatic. And passersby on Saint Clair stop to tell us how impressed they are. We really couldn't be happier with the job Hoffman Weber did for us, and we very sincerely hope those who read this review consider them for their project. Thanks."

"From the selection process to installation, everyone we dealt with at Paramount Granite did an exceptional job. They were very helpful in our selection process. The installation was done on time and beautifully. As an architect, I would recommend Paramount to my clients. As a homeowner and consumer, I would recommend Paramount to my family and friends.

"We're just getting near the end of the design and plans phase. So far I'm very pleased. Gary is easy to get along with. He listens, loves to hear new ideas, makes pertinent suggestions & recommendations, and has put together a very nice design for the project. I was particularly impressed by what we accomplished during our first meeting. Gary sat down with my wife and I, listened carefully to what we wanted to do and then using 3D computer modeling put together a very impressive preliminary design. He has followed that up with a great deal of attention to detail as the design has evolved. Things are moving along nicely. And, what's more, it's been fun."
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.
