Get matched with top residential (interior space planner) designer in Petersburg, VA

"These people did an amazing job! Being the guy that I am my house definitely needed some new ideas. I have no clue about interior design, but working with them quickly put me at ease. So if you're looking for a company to guide you in the right direction and create something just for you, go with this interior design company!"

"Very easy to work with Sue Pike the designer. She made the electronic drawings on the spot and was immediately able to give me prices of the various options I wanted to see. Daniel, the installer, was very professional and timely. Highly recommend them for any needs you might have."

"It went better than I could have imagined. They did a sterling professional job. Justin, our salesman, our representative, our contact with Classic, was a perfectionist and truly wanted the project done to our satisfaction. He offered suggestions when asked but otherwise was on the job checking the team regularly until the job was done. Chris and Mike, the team that actually did the work were unerringly faithful to the job, arriving early and staying until the afternoon when the heat and the sun was just too bakingly hot for work. They worked through the horribly hot summer without a fan and did a beautiful job. It is obvious that they are extremely professional and skilled at their work and built us a beautiful porch and screened room. We were consulted with every question and when a design problem came up, they found the perfect solution by crafting a compromise that kept our stairs within safety code but did not sacrifice too much space for ease of movement. Our siding was replaced and painted expertly. When we were unhappy with the door they put on our porch, Justin went out of his way to find alternatives for us. Ultimately we kept their choice for the door, realizing it was the best compromise for use and stability, and appropriateness in place. I can't praise them highly enough and can only say I wish all work on my house could be done with these high standards."

"Good submitted project ideas and nice designs were provided"

"We had a wonderful experience with Closets of Virginia. We were looking to transform a small nook in the playroom into storage but didn't know exactly what we wanted. Steven came for the consultation, I told him what our needs were, and he had great ideas on what could and could not be done with the space. I trusted his expertise on dimensions and they ended up being perfect. I love that the shelves are adjustable so you don't feel like you are locked into a permanent decision. He gave us our quote very quickly and he was very responsive whenever we reached out. Zack, the installer was extremely professional and had great attention to detail. He noticed that one of the pieces would end up leaving a bit of a gap due to our walls being uneven. He had a new piece cut to be picked up and still completed the job promptly. Would highly recommend working with Closets of Virginia!"

"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."

"Great customer service, we have worked with Bobby Mohlman, I may be spelling his name incorrectly. He has always been very helpful with out any pressure to buy and very easy to work with. A few years ago I brought in a magazine with photos to show the type of window treatment I was looking for and he helped me find the hardware,accessories and fabrics and it was really a fun easy process. The end product was beautiful and great quality. <br /> This august we bought a sofa and coffee table from the showroom. The table was damaged during delivery. When I called they were very apologetic and had a new table to us within a week. <br /> I have only had good experiences when working with Williams and Sherrill and would recommend them. <br />"

"We were able to pick out our specific slab of granite from their selection. They measured our countertops and gave us an estimate. They gave us some suggestions regarding backsplash, and designed a small granite "sill" for a pass-through on one of the walls. We removed the old countertops and sink ourselves to save some money. They came and installed the countertops and under-mount sink promptly when scheduled. We had them drill holes for the faucet and soap dispenser which we installed ourselves. It looks great, even with our old tired cabinets and floor. <br />"

"Project went very smoothly. We were so pleased with their work and professionalism that we are conracted with them again now to replace another door/storm door and remodeling a spare bedroom into a dedicated dressing room with two more large custom closets."
