Frequently Asked Questions

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO REDESIGN A ROOM?

The average room takes 3-5 hours to complete. The process involves emptying the room and bringing in furnishings and accessories in a prescribed order — much like fitting pieces in a puzzle. The process will take longer, and surcharges may apply, for the following:

• Large rooms (greater than 500 square feet);
• Moving oversize furniture such as an armoire, piano, or entertainment center;
• Installing window treatments;
• Accessorizing built in bookshelves.

HOW DO I KNOW THAT YOU WILL HONOR MY TASTES AND BUDGET CONSTRAINTS?

Unless you give us a budget to shop for you, we will simply be using what you already have in your home for the redesign. With your permission, we do "shop" within your home to find new things to bring into your room, so you need to tell us if any pieces are not to be moved or if any room is off limits.

WHAT SHOULD I DO TO PREPARE FOR A REDESIGN?

There is nothing you need to do in advance. We suggest the homeowner leave during the redesign process so you have the enjoyment of returning to a wonderful surprise (just like HGTV but without the cameras!). It's perfectly fine if you prefer to stay home during your redesign — just go about your day as if we were not there.

YOU MENTIONED A GUARANTEE ON YOUR REDESIGNS-HOW DOES THAT WORK?

It's simple. We guarantee that you will love your new room. In some cases, homeowners need time to adjust to a new furniture arrangement or other aspect of the room. We ask that you live with a redesign for 7 days and if you are not comfortable with the room after that time, we will return and address your concerns at no additional charge. We also provide client references if you wish to speak to someone about their experience and satisfaction with any of our services.

ARE YOU INSURED?

Yes, we are fully insured for any kind of damage or breakage that may occur during a redesign or staging. Please know we will handle your things with the same care as we would our own. Be sure to call our attention to anything that is extremely valuable, both monetary and sentimental, so we can decide how best to incorporate them in the process.

WHAT GEOGRAPHIC AREA DO YOU SERVE?
