"The carpenter that did the job (Adam) was amazing. He had to expand the space for one window, narrow the space for another, and repair much cedar siding that had rotted away due to water damage. He also reshaped my patio door so it would close and lock more easily. He is a very talented carpenter and I have no qualms about highly recommending him."

She also introduced me to an excellent contractor who I hired to do the improvements. Overall very pleased with outcome. Deb helped us transform our drabby front entrance to a coastal retreat. Our home office is now open, light and organized!"

"I would highly recommend Geoffrey Schor of Exteriors, Inc. as his team did an incredible job transforming my wooded lot into a lush manicured lawn. The excavator operator could actually be considered as an artist. He recommended a curved lawn design that when finished blew all my neighbors away. The compliments that I have received from people passing by have been outstanding. One person even went to the trouble of leaving a note on my front door requesting the name of my contractor and he noted that my lawn was the nicest looking one on the block. I believe my home value just shot up thanks to Geoffrey and his team!"

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Cardinal Design for my hair studio, and I couldnâ t be more thrilled with the results. From start to finish, their professionalism and creativity were evident. They not only drew up precise plans but also expertly guided the design process to ensure a seamless flow throughout my salon. Cardinal Designâ s ability to deliver high-quality work on time and keep me informed every step of the way was impressive. Their innovative suggestions and thoughtful improvements truly enhanced the final layout. With their fair pricing and exceptional service, I highly recommend Cardinal Design for anyone in need of top-notch design drawings and planning. Megan Burke"

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.
