"Once I sent her all the measurements, it took her a little while to get the options back to me. Overall, they're good designs. However, they're very simplistic and give general ideas for space planning. I was hoping to have a better idea for sizes of furniture for the space and some variations on staging.
Jill was very responsive when I did have a question. I'm not sure how helpful it is to have a virtual design done. If we lived in similar cities, I'd probably use her again for help with additional designs.

"The details and craftsmanship of the entertainment center are "A Piece of Art!". You can tell that the craftsmen who built the unit were meticulous in cutting, assembly, and staining of all pieces. We were presented samples of stained wood to ensure the stain we choose would blend well with our wood floors, draperies, paint, and existing furniture/cabinets. The team did an outstanding job ensuring all grain ran in the correct direction during staining and assembly.
Custom metal door inserts were designed and beautifully powder coated. The metal inserts enhanced the doors and brought out the color of the wood.
The installation team was extremely professional and thorough. As most of the houses in Florida are build with many imperfections, this team took all of the necessary steps to work around the imperfections to ensure the entertainment center appears to be a complete integration of the wall. They prepped all of the cabinets to allow for cable runs for the AV equipment. Upon completion of the install, the team thoroughly cleaned all areas inside and out.
My wife and friends are amazed at the beauty of the completed project. It truly is "ART WORK" and we will enjoy looking at this lovely piece of furniture for the rest of our lives.

"First and foremost, this was by far the best experience I've ever had with a contractor. Frank McKinney and his crew (Frank Jr., Scott, Yacob, Ron, Tony, and Demas) were extremely professional, clean, dedicated, detail oriented, beyond friendly and personable, and just great guys in general.
Initially, I requested a consultation with Frank based on the 80+ other excellent reviews he received on this website. I am in Palm Beach County, quite a distance from Ocala, yet Frank and his son, Frank Jr. still arrived several minutes early. From the moment I met him, I liked him and could tell he runs his company on a different level than your typical contractor. Super friendly and thorough, you could tell this was not just a business to make money, this was Frank's passion in life. He gave me 2.5 hours of his time. Unlike other contractors that simply measured the square footage and then spit out a "cookie-cutter" estimate, Frank took the time to look at the finer details of the job. I mentioned to him that my house was old and had 2 additions put on several years ago and really wanted to make sure the new roof tied these areas into the rest of the house. Frank is a problem solver, a master craftsmen and made sure my concerns were heard, analyzed and carried out.
His estimate was higher than the other bids but with good reason, all details were considered and any potential set backs were taken into account. He quoted for better quality materials and a more thorough installation process. What you got was an actual bid that was realistic and I knew the job was going to be done to the highest level. You get what you pay for and they sure did deliver.
A couple of points to mention why Frank and Solarshield are so unique. One, he only has 2 crews and all are very experienced and have been working together for a very long time (the chemistry is unmatched, its like one big family) . Most companies have 10 or more crews going at once and quality control can't possibly be met. Frank has his hands in every aspect of the job so the accountability factor is huge.
Another point is that he has only one office person, Renee, is who is related to Frank. You call up between 7am and 3pm and you know she will pick up or get back to you very quickly. And they know who you are, you are not a number on the list. I can 't tell you how discouraging it is to have a company come over and give a bid and then you call back a day or two later and you have to reintroduce yourself. With Frank and Solarshield, you develop a personal relationship with him, Renee, and his crew. Its very comforting to give a deposit and know you are going to be taken care of, with red carpet type service.
Frank and his crew completed my roof in just 4 days and Frank was there the entire time. I regret not taking more time off from work just to hang out with crew and be around the installation process. His crew are a great bunch of guys who know roofs, period. They are courteous, friendly, and always willing to explain each and every process they are performing. Frank even brought me up on the roof just to personally point out what they were doing and how the process was going. They are not simply trying to cover your house with a roofing material, they are crafting a custom roofing system designed especially with your needs in mind. Since metal lasts so long, you will probably only do the job once so why not do it with the best people and materials available.
I wish I had a second house just to give Frank some more business. If you are considering metal roofing, without a doubt, call Solarshield , its the best investment I've ever made.
Thanks to Frank, Renee, and total crew for a memorable experience. Well done!!!!!"

"It is a waste of money. The great majority of people are not going to find any value out of the service. If you need design consultation, you need a full service consultation. If you already have knowledge and experience, and you just need to get a few ideas, then you don't need to pay for that. You can just get a magazine or a book since you already have the knowledge of basic designs in your head or a little bit of experience. To have someone call you and give you information over the phone, you are not getting the personal service that you need. You may as well take the money $49 and apply it to something else like getting someone else to come out and give you the service that you need. Because, you are not getting much, you are not getting anything at all. They are going to have you do the work. After talking to them and I was talking to other home designers, I found out that that was a waste of time and waste of money. I gave them a C because they didn't fail at what they do but they don't offer any value for what they do. There's not much value to it. The cost was fair. They didn't do a terrible job and the cost isn't terrible, it was only $49. It just has a very low value. For responsiveness I gave them a B because they will answer your phone and answer your emails."



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.
