Customers say: True professional

"NVI designed and rebuilt our kitchen in 2017; we are as pleased today as we were then. They accepted and then improved our design suggestions, while tactfully pointing out our mistakes; no mean feat, and in line with the promised completion date. Over a period of several decades we have reworked or remodeled eleven homes across the country and abroad; Kris, Aaron, and Tony surpassed all the crews for knowledge, skill, ingenuity, organization ,work ethic, and conviviality. We were sorry to see them go when they finished, but we have solved that problem by asking them in February 2024 to build us a junior ADU."

"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."

"Yuval and all his guys were great. I had a contractor before who left me in the middle of the project so I was very stressed. Yuval was kind and available for questions throughout the project. Also I want to thank Kery for the guest bathroom design, Ruffo…., etc. just all the guys who worked here. Yuval said I was the best customer because I just let their guys do their work without interrupting. Isn’t that what you’re supposed to do. He asked me to trust him and even though I after my previous experience I didn’t want to everything turned out pretty good. Thank you Brother & Brother for getting me through to the next phase. I will call you again."

"AGS Landscape had a clear understanding of my needs and considerations to Build a robust and Long lasting wooden retaining wall. They designed and built a drainage system behind the wall to prevent early failure. Alejandro and his Brother arrived every work day on time, or earlier. They were very easy to work with as they apprised me of every small detail where an option or change was available. They even went through the trouble of saving my plants. The finished product has greatly enhanced my Back Yard. They truly exceeded my expectations."

"I enjoyed using Blues Brothers for my kitchen remodel. They gave me great ideas and designs for the layout to really maximize the open space concept that I was looking for. Love the new island, countertop is beautiful, tile work was done right. Every guest I have over always compliment our new layout and kitchen. I'm looking to remodel my master and bathrooms soon and will deifnitely be calling the same team again. Thank you!"

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Palo Alto, 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.
