"5 months after they completed the job I'm still compelled to look at my new patio every day. It is simply the best home improvement investment I've ever made. And I'm confident I'll feel this way years from now. Because as good as it looks aesthetically I'm confident that the foundation is solid. I knew a brick paver would look good on the surface, but what earned my confidence in Greenscapes and Bob Wambach was the time we took talking about what was going to go underneath the patio. Talking about the structural integrity of foundations always interests me because I know that's the best way to ensure long lasting enjoyment and best value for the investment. Bob and Lee and the rest of the Greenscapes hardscape team did a fantastic job of building a fantastic patio AND taking care of the customer. They respected our house and our neighbors homes and the neighborhood. Every day they could simply have left all their equipment and made starting the next day even easier for them, but instead they ensured everything was always cleaned up and really limited any disruption for any of us. Some TDS cable laying contractors were working behind my house the week after Greenscapes finished and they left their equipment all over the neighborhood overnight and I had it out with their supervisor when they returned the following day because my expectation now is that anybody can clean up after themselves on a daily basis. Greenscapes has raised the bar and created a new level of expectation for me. I would do business with them again in a heartbeat. My project wasn't even close to being the biggest they've ever done, but it was a HUGE deal for my wife and me and they made me feel like it was a HUGE deal to them. Lastly, Bob and team delivered just what he had designed and showed us electronically. I knew what he designed would transform our backyard, but between the time we agreed to do it and the time the project started I wondered if they'd be able to make that design a reality. They did it!"

"John installed crown and base molding throughout entire kitchen. He drywalled areas where walls had been removed and arches expanded. He was very efficient, professional, and completed the job as agreed on time and within budget. We will use him in the future for other remodeling projects!"

Customers say: Quick response

"When I began my project I had one thing in mind but after meeting with Randy at Crocus Hill Design, I came to realize more possibilities. He considered my space and my end-goal, did some preliminary drawings, made products recommendations and presented it all in a very professional manner. We moved forward and awaiting product delivery. Randy also provided a contact for installation whose business is now under contract for our project. My project is small but I was treated as well as someone doing a total remodel."

"We used Kegonsa Remodeling for a major kitchen renovation in a nearly 100-year-old house. Before the remodel everything in the kitchen looked cheap and worn down (think 1970s brown, everywhere!), and the overall arrangement of the space was really inefficient. They came in and proposed a design that was the best balance of affordability and ideal features out of half a dozen contractors we interviewed. Once we began working with them, they provided consistent updates and met with us on a regular basis, enough so that even with unavoidable pandemic slowdowns, it still felt like the project was always moving forward. Once the remodel began, they had nearly daily updates for us on what was coming next, and the project actually finished ahead of schedule! Now we have a kitchen that has at least 3x the workspace, a significantly improved flow, and easily twice as much storage as our previous one did. We get compliments all the time, and recommend Kegonsa's work any chance we get!"

FAQs for design and decorating projects in Madison, WI

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.
