"we met Marilyn through another real estate agent who referred us. Important advise I got years ago was, you want your real estate agent to want you to buy a house as much as you want to buy a house. From the minute we met her she was guns blazing with strategies and ideas to get us the best bid in a competitive market. When we were starting to loose hope, she'd call and all the reasons not to. When we finally had an accepted offer and we were going through the unknowns of the closing end of the house, Marilyn always picked up and answered any questions I had. (very close to 24 hours a day) I would recommend Marilyn to anyone buying a house, to those who are experience to naive or rich to just making it. She will get you that house, regardless of the market."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Eric will be our contact from here on for any landscaping job we may need. He is responsive and gives fair pricing. He has done an AMAZING job and he and his crew exceeded my expectations in every way. He was nice and flexible enough to accommodate some additional work we asked him to do during the project. He checked with us every step of the way to make sure we are getting exactly what we wanted. He works fast and does a wonderful professional job. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to get professional landscaping job without paying arm and a leg some other contractors would charge. Thank you, Eric! We love the job you have done!!!"

High end architect specializing in making a house feel like home!\nI make people’s dream homes a reality. There is nothing more satisfying to me then improving the quality of life for my clients and giving them a house that they are able to make into their homes.\nI have been a licensed architect since 2015 and am currently registered in Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Maine and Massachusetts. With my NCARB certificate I am able, if necessary, to obtain reciprocal licensure throughout the country in a short time period. \n\nI am inspired by our local built environment, humble materials, classical building forms and traditional building details. I have a strong interest in the reinterpretation of classical building forms, blended with contemporary open floor plans. \nI have a stronger interest in helping to guide my clients to ways of improving the quality of their lives through adapting the built environment to meet their needs.

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Portsmouth, RI

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.
