Get matched with top residential (interior space planner) designer in Hollywood, MD

"Wonderful! I would hire unparalleled eye design any time for interior design work! They did a BEAUTIFUL job on my home and Noel is a dream to work with! Punctual, listened to ALL my concerns (and there were many!). The work was done very quickly (I was shocked at how fast her contractor was). I now have the condo of my dreams thanks to Noel and unparalleled eye design!"

"Good submitted project ideas and nice designs were provided"

"The work is amazing; her design aesthetic is unparalleled."

"Chris Zoltan is the real deal. He is immensely talented and knows what he is doing. I was very nervous throughout the process. The final product by Zoltan Design was striking and distinctive. There were some glitches. For example, the dining chair heights are a bit too low for the dining table. But, overall, I love my living room and dining room space. If you are looking for inexpensive design, this is not the firm for you. Be ready to spend top dollar. If you are looking for quality, vision, and distinctiveness, than you will be satisfied with Zoltan Design."

"Incredible. Solid was a great pleasure to work with. We found the company from a local magazine ads and decided to call them to see if they can come and give us design ideas and a free estimate. Ike from the sales department came the next day to visit our house. He was truly a sweetheart. He definitely knows a about houses. He did not only tell us which walls are load bearing and which are not he thought us the secret of figuring it out just by looking at it. He was very knowledgable and personable. We decided to give them a shot and we drove to Solid's showroom in old town the next weekend. Sirin was the manager of showroom and she came up with a lot of designs sets and materials for our projects. By time we walked out of the showroom we had samples and a written quote and a ten notating start date. We loved everything about the proposal but we did not feel like singing it there so we decided to sleep on it. Next day my wife told me that she wants to work with Ike for the project. We decided to skip the other two companies and signed a contract with Solid. The project started approximately two weeks later and we were gone all the time. Marlo from the operations team was calling everyday to give us updates and he was sending pictures and videos of the projects. We came back 3 weeks and it was incredible. Everything was ready and the house was spotless clean. We decided to refer them to my wife's brother for more work and he just signed his remodel contract today with Solid. I got no doubt that they will be very happy with the outcome as well."

"I've been using Harmon's for reupholstering contracts since 2005. I had my own interior design business back then, and I knew I could depend on them to do great work for my customers and deliver on time. I use them still today for my own personal reupholstering projects (chairs, sofa, love seat, slipcover, pillows, ottoman) and would not trust anyone else to do the work for me. I'm a perfectionest and expect every detail to be perfect, and Harmon's has never disappointed me."

"Dave Gordon is a highly effective project manager. He kept us informed throughout the process and was responsive to questions. The process of designing and picking materials was collaborative. Dave offered advice and was patient as we made our decisions. He respected the fact that we were spending a lot of money and did not push us into more expensive options. We were very impressed with their attention to doing the work to code. The crew was respectful and professional throughout the process.  The shower tile that was leaking had not been installed correctly by a previous company. NRG did a great job redoing the shower. We now have a better looking shower that we know will not leak. The kitchen looks great - we have an open flow from the dining room and a unique pantry cabinet that provides functionality and a great look.  When we identified a few punch list items a few months after completion, such as calking that had separated and an electrical outlet that was loose, they responded immediately and took care of the issues. <br />"

"Inspiring showroom, and everyone on staff was helpful and creative, patient and very attentive to needs and preferences. Provided designs for tile installation, made suggestions about colors and finishes, and explored alternatives when necessary to bring it all together. Effectively coordinated between us and our remodeler. Highly recommended! <br />"

"We just finished a spectacular custom home project in McLean, VA and we are so very grateful to Seth Ballard and his team! If you are considering hiring his firm, look no further. There can be no better architect in the DC/VA/MD area – and his pricing is more than fair. We first picked Seth because we loved his architectural style and heard that he had a reputation for ensuring that his plans are executed with impeccable precision and attention to quality. Also, his references were stellar….without exception, his former clients offered glowing praise for his talent, diligence, and follow-through. And now that we are former clients, we understand why. We always knew we were going to have a gem of a home with Seth at the helm. What we did not fully appreciate at the beginning was his proven ability to help us STAY ON BUDGET and his deep bench of connections with first-rate contractors and subcontractors who were prepared to bend over backward to meet Seth’s exacting standards. Here are just a few highlights from our experience: CONCEPT PHASE: During the initial meetings at our home, Seth went the extra mile to learn all about our lifestyle, future needs, architectural likes/dislikes, and budget. During this stage of the process, he would effortlessly make freehand drawings to help us visualize potential styles and layouts. We ultimately elected to go with a craftsman design, with lots of wood features inside and out. PICKING THE RIGHT PROPERTY: Seth joined us for car rides through the local neighborhoods, helping us to scout out the property that was best suited for our construction plans – free of any potential HOA or permitting snafus. DESIGN: With Seth’s guidance, we iterated on different design options. The design phase was high-tech and highly visual. Lots of 2D and 3D elevations, plus 360-degree videos. At each step, Seth clearly identified the estimated construction cost, and we would make decisions about what to dial-up and what to dial-down. For example, we elected to go with a cheaper asphalt roof (rather than slate), but with a more premium window. There were literally dozens of choices like that, and Seth did a superb job of helping us to make the right trade-offs and to “value engineer” the house. PICKING THE RIGHT CONTRACTOR AND SUBS: One of the things that distinguishes Seth from the competition is that he works closely with a handful of contractors and subcontractors who have already been “pre-screened” for excellence. Seth connected us with a general contractor who was not only honest and diligent, but whose carpentry was truly “artisan grade.” Seth also drew upon a stable of outstanding subcontractors – in areas such as HVAC/plumbing, electrical/lighting, structural engineering, cabinetry, tile, drywall/paint, countertops, hardwood flooring, landscaping, etc. It was perfectly clear that these subs were striving to deliver the highest quality and exemplary service. Why? Because Seth was an important source of repeat business for them. This made them extremely responsive. BUDGETING: Seth developed detailed spreadsheets estimating costs for every aspect of the project, as well as options for “enhancements.” Once we made our choices, he was instrumental in securing a FLAT FEE CONTRACT with the builder (inclusive of subs) for everything we wanted. To provide even more control over the cost, the agreement specified that certain items would be “owner provided, contractor installed.” This meant that, regardless of whether we bought pricey appliances or tile or flooring, it would have no impact of the builder’s fees. To his credit, Seth’s estimates were quite accurate, and the project stayed on budget. ARCHITECT FEES: We negotiated a flat fee for Seth’s architectural services, and got way more than we bargained for. We had no idea Seth would stay so engaged throughout the project -- micromanaging every detail, and even offering interior design suggestions (e.g., stains and paints, cabinet and window designs, furniture layouts, etc.). It became clear that, regardless of how much we had agreed to pay in fees, Seth was “all in,” and was committed to ensuring that the end result was perfection. To be sure, in any large construction project, there will be some hiccups. But this was yet another area where Seth shined. Rather than being indifferent, or pointing the finger at those who were actually at fault, he would step up to “own the problem” and take charge until the issue was resolved. In one such case, he developed a design tweak that saved us money and produced a more beautiful result in the process. We never had to stress too much, because we knew Seth was 100% engaged and we could trust that the final work product would be a treasure of a home. One final thought. While Seth’s tremendous talent is obviously perfect for large custom projects, we have no doubt that he can deliver outstanding value for smaller home renovations too. When we did kitchen/bath renovations in our prior home, we naively thought that a “design-and-build” firm would deliver the best solution. With the benefit of hindsight, we could have done so much better hiring Seth as the independent architect and separately hiring a builder who would be accountable to the architect. The result would have been better quality construction, a better value, and far less stress. So whether you are about to embark on a modest remodel or getting ready to “dream big” with a new custom home, look no further than Ballard Mensua Architecture."

"Easy to follow directions. They arrived sooner than I expected and they fit perfectly. My table has an intricate design at both ends and 2 leaves. Everything was perfect and the quality was great."
