I recently worked with a Chad to redecorate my entire first floor in a very tight time frame before a big party, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results! From start to finish, Chad was incredibly easy to work with, truly understanding my vision and bringing it to life. He was highly responsive, answering all my questions and addressing any concerns I had along the way. Despite the time crunch, everything turned out beautifully—exactly what I had hoped for. The space looked stunning for the party, and I received so many compliments. Highly recommend Chad to anyone looking to refresh their home with style and ease!

We first worked with Chad when we finished our basement. We loved his work so much that we hired him for our kitchen / living room project. Not only is his design work beautiful, he's attentive, responsive, communicated directly with our contractor, and was just all-around fun to work with. We'll definitely hire him again in the future!

Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure working with you and your family on your basement and first floor!

We had worked with Chad on a few smaller projects in the past, and initially planned to try to design our basement remodel on our own but quickly realized we needed a professional's help! Chad did an excellent job at putting my vision into a reality and providing guidance along the way. Our basement looks brand new and a perfect mix of comfortable yet also put-together. He was super easy to work with and very responsive. We'd highly recommend him for any job, small or large!

If you're in a state of indecision regarding your home redecorating, remodeling or reconstruction; your answer is here. Chad Esslinger and his design partners will take your ideas, put them into motion and have you living in your dream project in no time. Chad uses his creative instincts coupled with your ideas to bring you just perfect outlook you desire. He is supported by his group of professional associates: contractor, cabinet maker, appliance providers and a superior group of craftsmen carpenters and electricians. No stone is left unturned. We had a dated 70's kitchen in dire need of remodeling. From concept design, tear down, installing new cabinets, tile and can lights; the process took about three weeks when all the materials were delivered in a timely manner. We just love our kitchen and would definitely call Chad Esslinger Design Company for our next project.

Chad helped me repurpose and revision our former dining room into my home office for my new law practice. What was an under-utilized and outdated part of our home is now a vibrant, cool and practical work space.

We moved into a home with a very long, wide open main floor that we didn’t quite have enough of or the right furniture and decor for. Chad/Esslinger Design Co helped us revamp each area on our main level with eye catching decor, furniture and accent pieces that really satisfied what we were trying to achieve but couldn’t do so on our own. Chad really listened to what we wanted and then provided vision boards with multiple options so we felt like we were part of the process of making our house a home. I’d highly recommend Chad/Esslinger Design Company for any interior design project big or small as their versatility and flexibility is unmatched!

We have had the pleasure of working with chad on our new house project and it has been an absolutely amazing experience working with him Would highly recommend chad as he brought his innovative thought process and ideas to the table and tied it in with our vision for our new house. He helped us in every step of the process and we could not have done it this seamlessly without him !!

Comment from Esslinger Design Company:

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to help with your new construction and now with the basement and finishing touches throughout!

Olivia

I highly recommend Chad. We built a custom home and he was part of our interior design. Chad made a few recommendations to our floor plans and thank goodness he did because we would've missed out on fully enjoying a gorgeous view to our backyard! He's responsive, patient (I have lots of opinions!) and offers lots of options that keep us within budget. We're still working with Chad for the interior decorating of our home and wouldn't hesitate to keep calling on him for future projects!

Thanks so much Olivia! I have loved working with you and your family on everything from the construction to the furnishings!

My review is a bit overdue, but I can't recommend Chad enough. He was very easy to work with and gave me many options as we worked on my family room. Chad helped me choose wall color, carpet, and all new furniture. Once he finished adding decorative touches to the room it looked as if our family room belonged in a magazine. Everything was thoughtfully positioned and coordinated. I am looking forward to working with Chad very soon!
