"I hired David to remodel my master bedroom bathroom and my main bathroom, both on my second floor. He was extremely professional at all times, and always consulted me of any changes. When you demo a bathroom, you find many surprises behind walls, and I was faced with a few dilemmas. David 's expertise in this field of remodeling bathrooms for over 30 years, gave me the options to resolute the issues. He helped me from the first day, bringing me to the tile store and helped me to design and buy everything within my budget. He made excellent suggestions and yet gave me the overall decision. He was extremely helpful, fair priced, and finished both bathrooms in the time frame that he had given me. He did all the plumbing, electrical, tile, and carpentry involved in the job. He is very knowledgeable and very detailed oriented as well, Everything needed to be perfectly done, with his excellent work mindset. He is a valuable contractor and I don't have any complaints!! My whole family is so happy with the remodeling of both our new Beautiful bathrooms! I would recommend him to anyone!"

"Carlos was an important part of helping us with our overall design. He is very knowledgeable and he and his team take pride in their work . During the planning phase Carlos gave us a 3D visual of our project prior to starting which was so helpful to help tweak as we wanted to make our design even better. Without this visual we would not have been able to decide upon changes as easily as we did . Charles and Sons was by far the most affordable and he and his crew were able to give us the most for our money His ideas and ability to deliver surpassed the 5 other quotes we received in all areas . Quality job and we are very happy . I highly recommend."

Customers say: Quality work

"They are not local to my area. Please, hire local. And this is for Angi: Try not to recommend contractors who are a significant distance away, in this case around 80 miles (and 2 states) away. Great website, appears to be professionally designed and maintained, I like what they do (judging from the content in the website) but I am outside their service area. I don't live in that area. If I owned a home or apartment in that area, I would hire them."

"Angel and his team are very professional, knowledgeable, reliable and dedicated to their work. They complete the work on time and communication with Angel was consistent throughout the project. He provided updates and sent photos to see the progress. That was a wonderful touch. His team were helpful as well, paid close attention to detail, workspace remained clean, they do not cut corners and the finish product exceeded my expectations. This was my first time using Angel landscaping, and it will not be our last. I highly recommend others to use this company. Thanks to the entire team at Angel Lanscaping."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in South Orange, NJ

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.
