"Our team hired Ms. Biola from Inspire Decor to handle the decorations for our corporate event. She was very attentive to our needs and delivered a stunning result that surpassed our expectations. She demonstrated a high level of professionalism throughout the process, from the initial consultation to the final cleanup. She also ensured that our teamâ s theme was well-represented and eye-catching. We were very impressed by her work, and we would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a creative and reliable decorator."

"Craig and Kurt were able to design an addition to our home that we can't wait to see completed! They worked diligently and professionally to stay within our budget, communicating every step of the way, and facilitated the selection and hiring of our contractor who they work with extremely well. They listened to all of our needs and wants, came up with suggestions of their own, and together we quickly had a completed design. I highly recommend this firm and you won't find nicer people to work with."

Customers say: Quality work

"The Elevate Design Build team, led by Wes Wescott, beautifully finished the basement in our home. They began with a rather crude layout left to us by the original builder. There was bulging insulation, an impossible array of exposed pipes, ducts, and wires, and a big open concrete floor with nothing. We asked Wes to create attractive and comfortable rooms with a compelling atmosphere and a practical layout. The design they came up with, following all the feature aspects we requested, was absolutely beautiful. We now have a basement level bedroom, multiple closets, a bathroom, and a family room fit for the pages of a designer magazine. The workmanship was superb and every little detail was handled with loving care. The Elevate Design Build team was professional in every respect, caring of our needs and concerns, and friendly in all of our interactions on the project from begging to end. We are very pleased with the result and no doubt the market value of our home has increased substantially. When folks out there have a need for home improvements, we heartedly recommend asking Elevate Design Build to get it done. Do give Wes Wescott a call."

"Excellent experience. We had 2 Bathrooms remodeled. It took them only 2 days to demo old and install new. We had 2 crews, Randy (Lead) and Charles for one bathroom and Marvin Ladipoh (Lead), Sam & Antonio on the other. These men know their trade and know customer service as well. No question was too small and they encouraged questions throughout the process. Every concern I had was addressed and resolved immediately. Highly professional and courteous and absolutely all about the quality of work. Even though they had a 4 hour commute (2 each way) each day, I never did I get the impression they were hurrying just to get it done and go. I've dealt with many contractors my sixty plus years and I have never had such a positive experience with any contractor or company in all of my life. I don't say that lightly."

"After doing much research I hired John Krause Construction for a very large project: Sunroom addition, deck, patio, front hardscape and landscape with design of my entire house and yard! John came out personally and was very honest and his pricing was fair. They did an amazing job taking my vision and making it a reality. The crews were efficient and responsive. I will use them in the future."

"We had our entire bathroom entirely demolished all the way down to the support beams and fully rebuilt (the house is old and needed a lot of repairs). The entire team was absolutely amazing from designing and planning (Junior), to the project getting done (Kadir was our PM, Tony and Paul were our electricians, and all the other guys who came in to do the tilework and plumbing - I am sorry I do not know their names but they were also awesome). This bathroom required an enormous amount of work and it came out absolutely beautiful. The whole team takes a lot of pride in their work and they truly desire that their customers are happy and expectations are exceeded with their work. I am already planning more projects with them, their work is not limited to bathroom and kitchen remodels, and I look forward to working with them again. The quality of their work is guaranteed and their prices are super reasonable (big plus)."

"Rick returned our calls promptly and gave us a fair quote for services. Baumann's does not overcharge or upsell. Once we settled on Baumann's Landscaping as our contractor, we called Rick and the crew were out the next morning promptly at 9am. We were expecting two days of work to clear the brush, but they completed the job in 4 hours. The crew went above and beyond, killing vines choking our trees, mulching all the deadfall, and pushing the brush line all the way back beyond the trees (we live on Maryland wetlands). Fast, prompt, great job. Would absolutely hire again. A++."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Riva, MD

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.
