Get matched with top residential (interior space planner) designer in Albany, NY

"I was overwhelmed with the thought of a complete gut/bathroom renovation, until Dawn from GYST helped ease my stress and guide me through the process. She worked with me on my style options/choices, worked with local plumbing stores for best prices, and even drove with me to New Jersey to look at tile options. Dawn was key to my bathroom reno success!! She has such a keen eye for stylish detail, without breaking the budget!! I have several other projects coming up and cannot wait to work with her again."

"Virginia was wonderful. She came to inspect the room to be painted, had good questions about what colors i was considering and did a through assessment of the walls and work needed to be done. Her estimate included labor, supplies and time. She was fabulous, removed old 1970's wallpaper, patched and sanded the walls then turned a blah room into an oasis of calm. My office now looks wonderful and is a great place to focus and work. I absolutely will hire her again as i reorganize and get other spaces cleared for updating."

"Good submitted project ideas and nice designs were provided"

"Starlily did a wonderful job with my cabinet painting in my current home as well as the interior decorating at my new home. Stephanie understood my goals and found pieces to match my style. She also assisted me with finding options that matched my budget. I would highly recommend Starlily for your next home design project!"

"Muriel is an artist! Highly recommend for anyone looking for unique finishes and features in their property."

"Touchstone Interiors and their entire staff are highly recommended. Sarah took the time to listen to our wish list and develop designs that met the list as much as possible within budget. (Budget is used advisedly because no one really sticks to the anticipated amount and gets what they want <em>ed.</em>) She scheduled and oversaw the work of her subcontractors (more on that later), which is the one thing we wanted no part of. Her husband and chief custom woodcrafter and often demolition and clean-up guy was superb; everything he did was first class, his experience and skill were very helpful in handling dilemmas presented by the house itself. He became unable to continue work on the project about 1/4 of the way through due to a shoulder injury, but they found a comparably-skilled substitute to make the cabinets and do the framing in each room. We're happy with that work. <br /> After we discussed ideas about redecorating the bedroom, she presented options but never foisted her taste or preferences on us. Spent many hours with me selecting fabrics, wallpaper, etc. We ended up with exactly what I wanted and it was also fun. <br /> Nothing goes perfectly, however. The delay in cabinetry work necessitated by the change in craftsman was long and stressful for us because we were without a master bedroom and bath for several months. Blame lies not with Touchstone but with fate. Some sub-contractors and their workers did not show up when promised, requiring new scheduling. The electrician was earnest and came when scheduled, but his bill was high given there were places where he cut corners that, while within code, did not constitute a first class job. The paper hanger seriously over-estimated the amount of wallpaper that was needed, and the manufacturer charged an exorbitant return fee. But Touchstone made sure we were ultimately satisfied. <br /> Where Touchstone and we encountered the biggest difficulties was in finding substitute vendors or getting good service from vendors used in the past. Some new vendors contacted were not interested or never responded. The stone and tile vendor is an example of bad business practice. (Albany Marble) They were often no shows or not on time, tile work had to be redone, and they ruined a large stone piece for the counter top requiring us to start again after other bathroom features had been matched to the first slab. The customer service/satisfaction response to these errors was almost non-existent. I think Touchstone learned from this that a re-evaluation of some of its vendors might be needed. And WE learned that, despite what we hear on the news, businesses in the capital region are not in need of work nor suffering enough economically to attract new or retain old customers. <br /> <br />"

"Highine did an incredible job. Our 120+ year old Victorian need scraping, sanding and some siding and trim replacement. The quality was excellent. The staff was very professional. The team was on-time, worked hard, and cleaned up every day. I highly recommend them."
