"Sarah is wonderful! Do not hesitate to use her. She has done multiple projects for us. She resigned out kitchen on a budget and it looks beautiful. She worked with us to pick out living and dinning room furniture. She designed/reimagined our primary and primary bathroom. Year later she designed my son's nursery. She is detailed and works closely with her clients. I still get compliments on my home bc of her. I refer her to anyone who needs help with designing a beautiful home."

"DM building provided excellent customer service from the very beginning...I was blown away because before we found DM Building we had several contractors in our home for various projects and when we found DM Building I was so relieved because they DO EVERYTHING, I never had to make another phone call for our entire remodel process; as a mother of four I can't tell you how much this meant to me!! It was all completed in a timely manner, they kept me informed of what is going on each day, they showed up on time and do amazing work, plus...their staff in always professional and polite! In fact we recommend them all the time! We had mold in one of our bathrooms when we moved into our home and they were here to remove it within 48 hours, re-did the entire bathroom and we had them back to do our downstairs bathroom and we hope to have then back soon for our master bath."

"After they redid our counter tops and island, we had them paint out cabinets and build shelves up to the ceiling. The communication was on point this time and the results speak for themselves. Would definitely recommend them to anyone for any home project."

"Our front landscape was in desperate need of makeover landscaping. C&H Gardens has trimmed and removed many very large trees for me, over the last 6 years. It was an easy decision to choose Kent and C&H to do our landscaping project. Design was agreed upon and work began in mid-May 2020 and completed as designed in 3 weeks, on time and at cost projection. The professional work crew and design elements that added great visual quality to the street view was more than we expected. Our family and friends agree the work and view was fantastic. We will have an easy choice on our next project for the back yard...C&H is our contractor. Thanks Kent Horner, job well done."

"I can genuinely say that my experience with this company from start to finish was great. Luis was very responsive to my initial inquiry and scheduled a time to meet with me immediately. He worked with me on a design and came back to the house multiple times to make sure everything was right before we decided to proceed. It did take about two weeks for us to schedule the job but now that I've had this experience, I can understand why he's so busy! The job took two full days, day one with 3 guys and day two with 4 guys. Our yard was literally a dirt patch before so the work entailed: moving irrigation valves, removing/replacing sprinklers, installing a drip system, laying down black fabric over the entire space followed by decomposed granite (DG), planting numerous plants (which I purchased upon my request), placing bender board around two large existing trees and laying down mulch around the trees, creating a path running throughout the yard with large flagstone pieces, designing a river bed with rock, placing rock all along the outside of our fence line. All of the guys that came (Luis, Sergio, Sammy, Alex) worked very hard, were very polite and professional. Luis had to leave a few times to pick up additional materials but Sammy was able to answer any questions or talk me through any decisions while Luis was gone. I felt very comfortable every step of the way and we made several adjustments throughout the process. I never felt like I was asking dumb questions or was a bother with my million ideas. Our yard looks absolutely beautiful. It's more than I could have envisioned and truly have to thank Luis and his crew for a stellar experience. I learned that they also can help with fences, decks, cement work and yard service so I will most definitely be a repeat customer!"

"Leslie was an incredible find. I had had a dreadful experience with a large Hvac company and Leslie was able to rectify their shoddy work, comprehend numerous highly technical reports, deal with state licensing board, city permitting and multiple testing companies. She assessed the qualifications of numerous contractors and oversaw contract arrangements. She was experienced knowledgeable and brought an end to a nightmare situation with calm professionalism. I recommend her highly and would hire her again without hesitation."

"We hired Paul to completely transform our landscape, and the results are incredible. Our yard started as a dry, neglected space (see before photos), and Paul turned it into a stunning, modern outdoor oasis. He designed everything—from plant selection and layout to gravel, mulch, lighting, pathways, and functional spaces like the fire-pit area and outdoor dining zone. Paul has a great eye for design, communicates clearly, stays on schedule, and truly cares about the final product. The curb appeal and backyard are now unrecognizable in the best way. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Paul for any landscape project."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Imperial Beach, CA

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.
