"I thought my job was too small to hire a professional but Greg treated our job with the same courtesy you would expect of a much larger project. The project design was also amazing. Will definitely be referring him to friends and family and keeping his number in my contacts for future work,"

"Very honest engineer. He performed a mandatory seismic inspection that was required for the city of Hayward. There was no foundation issue whatsoever. Before Mr Padir did the inspection I had a retrofit company look at my building and they told me it would cost $58k to fix the problem and I almost fell for it. It turns out that one joist was rotten from a sewer leak that was repaired. It is hard to find honest people these days. I am so glad it is only a cosmetic fix and a sister joist installed next to it to relieve the pressure on the building. Thank you once again Mr. Padir. Excellent job and quick turnaround."

"Steven has been wonderful to work with. He's done a few small jobs at my house, including putting in a rock walk way through my backyard. I had started it and realized I wasn't going to be able to finish it after my surgery. He came in and saved the day. Everyday I walk out in my backyard I'm thrilled with the work. He's come back a couple more times to do some smaller jobs and each time he's done a great job!"

"I recently hired Ernie and George with Bluestar to bid and ultimately complete what I am calling "phase 2" of my backyard. I put a pool in when I first moved in 2 years ago and the second half and both sides of the house were unfinished. I had unfortunately worked with shrubhub to design something and that experience is one I wouldn't recommend. That said, I worked with blue star to come up with a design that was within my budget (after some back and forth and cutting a few things out) which was not huge. They were both super flexible, understanding, great listeners, detail-focused, and I ended up with a phenomenal phase two! I was happy with the experience overall and would definitely recommend Blue Star."

"It is always a pleasure to work with Arthur. He is a skilled individual that takes close attention to detail. Due to his experience, he is able to revert quickly on cycle revisions to help get plans approved in a timely manner. I would highly recommend working with Arthur."

"Jamie and his crew were outstanding. Always professional, on time, on schedule, clean and my design was followed perfectly. I am a Facility Manager and have dealt with contractors in several of the trades including concrete for many years. This was top quality work done at a fair price. Jamie listened to what we wanted and made it happen just like we envisioned. We are revamping the front yard in a couple of years and Maranata will be our contractor."

"Bob Jacques was amazing, a super personable and honest guy. I would recommend him to anyone! He came with a co-worker and they did a fantastic job. I had a multitude of things wrong with my front and backyard lawns. His co-worker Jose was in the front laying out a filler section grass. Bob was in the backyard adjusting the water flow of the sprinkler heads, and changing each one as needed, he did the same for the front yard. He also told me that fescue grass likes to grow tall and I’ll scalp it if I go too short. So he went out of his way to adjust my lawnmower higher so when I cut the grass it’s higher. He also told me to mix ammonium sulfate with a regular fertilizer half and half mixture with nitrate. He was a very knowledgeable guy, and super affordable. He’s an honest guy!"

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Lincoln, 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.
