How A Designer can help you....what to expect...

Many people think the idea of hiring a designer is an extravagance..But in reality, a design professional can actually save you a great deal. And not just money...We often are the "go between" with couple with totally different ideas of what they envision...and a good designer will incorporate both visions into one FABULOUS look... on projects such as kitchens or other major renovations...certain choices can actually cost you money at resale time...

When your ready for design help, do your homework and check out their portfolio, ask if they can work with your budget...and of course you want to check with other clients that they have worked for.. The final consideration should be how you feel when interviewing the person..you are going to be working very closely and if something is annoying on the first visit... it will only get worse as you get into the project...Are they listening to what you say, do they have good communication skills both verbal and digital...In this day and age most good designers will have a web site and email...and they use it...the last thing you want is to be waiting for your designer to return your call...I use email for all important communications..it enables me (and the client)to keep accurate records of conversation and also include my all my Tradesmen on the same page with the same information....

And finally, you may want a designer to simply preview your plans.. and give you some assurance that what you plan will work....and we do that too..

Coming soon to my web site....new projects completed...before and after shots...
