Jean Callan King Interior Design LLC

This designer came highly recommended and we were extremely disappointed. We have worked with other designers and results were always within our budget and style, Jean, was the most expensive per hour and the least talented. Our project involved updating our first floor with new wood stain (preferably darker and more modern - which we did not achieve) and a new fireplace surround. We showed Jean our design concept and we got a surround that was out of a book. NO details to address initial design ideas. Jean spent hours (our money) looking for crema marfil, which she uses often and could not find. And in the end, could not even be used due to fireplace issues. Additionally, the drafting bills were more than the entire project. Jean's hourly billing charges are exorbitant for what she produces. Nothing new or exciting. Her billing per hours does not stop even when she makes mistakes and her design choices are wrong: Selected lighting did not meet the room or our needs: Wrong lights to provide reading, wrong dining room fixture (too long). We were billed for having to look for alternatives lighting. This was one of our smallest design project, that cost us more than any other project including remodeling a kitchen and two baths, NEVER commit to a project with Jean Callan King unless you are willing to abide by her decisions and mistakes and expect to pay double in hourly billing. And by the way, put aside money for billing charges two months after the project ends.
