"Linda performed superbly as my decorator. There were four pieces of furniture that I wanted reupholstered. Each piece was covered expertly and delivered quickly. She advised me on fabric and her suggestions were very good. Timely notices were furnished when there were delays on securing fabric. Linda was a pleasure to work with and her crafts people were excellent."

"Awesome!!! The folks were great, from beginning to end. They provided 3 excellent visual designs and quotes for us to choose from, and completed the work on-time and on-budget. Their price was significantly lower than 2 other estimates we received whose quotes did not provide any visual depictions of the finished product. I would hire MA Cleaning & Landscape Design, Inc. in a heartbeat!"

"I needed new drywall in the ceiling of my dining room after some plumbing work was finished there. Alvaro at Brothers Painting & Remodeling came to my house the same day I looked on Home Advisor for drywall repairs. His estimate was reasonable, so I hired him. He came at 8am the next morning, installed new ceiling drywall, painted the ceiling, and was finished by 1pm. The work was perfect, and he left the work area spotless. I would grade him A+++. In addition to drywall work, Brothers Painting & Remodeling does every kind of home remodeling work, painting, carpentry, and deck work. I asked Alvaro to come back in the spring to paint my front porch. I plan to use his company for all my home repairs in the future. Absolutely first rate."

"Jose and his crew at JP Landscaping Inc. are highly professional. I would recommend them to anyone. I needed a 500 sq foot wooden deck to be removed and a 600 sq foot flagstone patio, with a sitting wall, to be put in its place. Jose came out and gave me a free estimate. His estimate was highly competitive. JP Landscaping Inc. finished ahead of schedule and did beautiful work. During the process, Jose was responsive to all of my questions. I also appreciated that the crew would clean up my yard, after each day of work. I love my patio. I would hire JP Landscaping Inc. again if I needed to. The company also repaired a section of my fence that surrounds my backyard. The fence looks like new. They did a great job matching the replacement section to my existing fence. Upon completion of their work, I even asked them for quotes on additional projects, I liked them so much."

"Fairfax Contractors did an AMAZING job on my patio!!! My neighbors are now wanting them to build their patios. Ram was such a gentleman and so awesome to work with. He made so many accommodations for me, from timing, design change, and exchanging my stone to get the job done. His manager Glen was also wonderful and helped me personally pick out my pavers, which the choice resulted in a much better paver selection. I couldn't be more pleased with the outcome. Their pricing was the best out of all the contractors that I looked at. You can't go wrong. Also, the patio came out much better than I would have ever imagined. I highly recommend them for your home needs. Choose Fairfax Contractors, you will be happy that you did!"

"He was really helpful in getting my permit and drawings done. Very good and communication and very affordable."
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.
