"Lloyd is very friendly, upfront and honest. Designs are professional and he goes all out and then trims back. He goes above and beyond with a lot of little things. Lloyd is meticulous with his stone work on walls, firepits,stairs and patio. He does it all, plantings, low voltage lighting and large tree and shrub plantings. So appreciated his advise and regular status reports."

"My wife and I hired Lasting Strength for a gut renovation of the main bathroom in our house. Our experience was nothing short of excellent. Adam and his team are talented and respectful. They were constantly communicating with us during the entire process to discuss ideas and confirm the plan / our vision for the space. They treated our home as though it was their own, taking care not to damage other areas during the work and also cleaning up after every day was completed. We also decided to install a new slider to our deck where one didn't exist before. Adam helped in confirming the size to be ordered and they did another great job. We unexpectedly found some rot on the house during the slider project. They were able to come up with a solution to repair it that didn't inconvenience us and it prevented a huge problem developing later. Lasting Strength is talented, knowledgeable and trustworthy and my wife and I would recommend them to anyone. Can't wait for our next project!"

"Luis was great. He was professional from the start. We were planning a major addition to our home with a remodel and restructure of existing surrounding areas. He listened to our needs and captured what we were looking for while still providing his own artistic flair on the project. He provided in my case two different design layouts which really helped us visualize the project to help us finalize down to final drawing. Entire time, he kept under consideration our budget. I would definetly use him again plan to do so for kitchen remodel we plan for next year."

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.
