"Jennifer was great in helping me envision the plan I had for remodeling my great room. She made suggestions that I would not have thought of and balanced the total design. She listened to what I had in mind and took it to the next level. If I had any negative, it would be that she became a bit less involved when I didn't choose her contractor. All in all, though, very happy with how it turned out!"

"We worked with JD from Green City Gardens to design and plant new landscaping in the front of our house. This included removing the existing shrubs, adding organic materials and planting the new flowers and bushes. In addition, JD, Doug, Carl and John removed two existing trees which had died and replaced them with new trees. The project was projected to be completed in about 2.5 days and the team achieved the target. The entire crew was excellent to work with--each provided their input and recommendations regarding plant placement. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process--from initial design through planting. JD's design was excellent and the new landscaping greatly enhanced the front of our house. Doug, John, JD and Carl worked diligently to remove the existing landscaping and planting and mulching the new plants. Based on our experience, we highly recommend Green City Gardens---they were reasonably priced and easy to work with when making significant enhancements to our landscaping."

"Excel windows did a great job. They were right on time with the dates that they had previously chosen. They were very professional and the only thing that held us up was the weather but we were able to work around it and they were able to get the job done before christmas. They cleaned up well and it was a great experience."

"We had found Aerate One on Angie's, and since it was a local company we contacted them.  Hector the owner came out, walked with us through our yard to determine the work and then gave us an estimate on time and price of the work.  We ran into a rainy time and the work could not be started the week they had predicted,  due to weather.  When they finally did come out they worked extremely hard, and put in long days.  They did the work, and the head of the men, talked to us each day to go over what was done, what did we need to have done and to make sure everything done was as we had wanted it.  When they were done, Hector came out again, and walked with us to make sure we completely satisfied. They did an excellent job, were very professional, very tidy and made sure everything was cleared and cleaned up each day when they left.  We will  definitely use use their service again"

"Almanza is the best in the area, I've learned the hard way. Had them as regulars for landscaping a few years back. They were great for the most part - Raul was excellent at doing extra jobs (paving, tree-cutting) fast and prompt at very reasonable prices. The yard looked great. However, when fall cleanup came, the crew left a lot of debris behind. During the summer, they also trimmed stuff I asked them not to trim and didn't trim what I wanted them to. I chalked it up to the crew though. Raul has always been great and I complained to him about it, noting I couldn't renew the contract with the same weekly crew. Not hearing from him about a different crew, I too hastily terminated the contract. BIG mistake. Subsequent lawn care and landscape specialists have been totally abysmal compared. I've learned that the weekly crews of any company are not as honest, hardworking, scrupulous, etc. as the owners but you have to put up with that stuff. It's just part of the game apparently. Looking back, aul's crew wasn't perfect, but they were a lot better than any others I've had. If you have him as a landscaper, keep him. A good dude. I've regretted my action more every year."

"After a year of working with us, Marc designed the perfect home for our family. He spent significant time on site to get to know the space and spoke to us frequently to ensure his design met our hopes and dreams. His final design is visually stunning and maximizes space use in a way that reflects both the history of the home and modern preferences. His expertise in Chicago building code and city offices was instrumental in our project being approved quickly. He reviewed bids with us to ensure we selected a GC who could do the job and had competitive pricing. He regularly met and emailed with the GC and suppliers to address issues as they arose during the job so that all were resolved to our satisfaction. Throughout it all, he was just a nice guy to work with during a process that can be very stressful."

"Dealing with everyone from BSC was a pleasure. Brandon responded quickly to our request and worked with us on a design for the paver area. They did a beautiful job with the paver area. They are truly artists when it comes to designing and installing pavers. We would gladly recommend them and hire them again if needed. Our yard went from dead grass and overgrown bushes to being the yard that neighbors now stop to look at."

FAQs for design and decorating projects in West Chicago, IL

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.
