Hanover, VA Color Consulting Professionals

“Amazing company! As this was the first painting company we had ever dealt with, we exercised due diligence in research prior to calling for an estimate. I was specifically looking for a local company, one with experience, excellent rating with Better Business Bureau (S & S Painting has an A+), and one who would be totally up-front with all charges for products and labor. The S & S Painting company had an excellent website which answered most questions we had. We made the initial appointment with the intent of calling at least three companies for an estimate; one visit with Stacey Sears and that changed our original plan! Stacey was open, honest, detail oriented, and was familiar with all the issues our job entailed. That in itself was quite a list, as there were some major issues with both walls and ceilings, as well as some issues that needed addressing we hadn't noticed prior. Stacey also gave us the background and expertise of each of the individual ladies on her team (there are four), explained their work hours and policies. We then received via email a detailed proposal broken down by room, what needed to be done and products needed to complete the job. This offered us the opportunity to pick/choose services needed or wanted to be competed and the opportunity to see the cost up-front should we decide we'd like to do a portion ourselves. Upon receipt of our signed proposal, Stacey contacted us with a date/time to begin the work and, based on her suggestions, had everything ready for them to begin. The ladies were courteous, professional in every way, and an absolute joy to have in the house! Work was completed exactly as stated, both in satisfaction of work completed, as well in a timely manner. We were given multiple opportunities to inspect all areas, which included walls, ceilings and some woodwork in sunroom, kitchen, living room, front foyer, stairwell and upstairs foyer. Not only are we extremely happy with the results, both my husband and I have recommended S & S Painting to others and will continue to do so!”

“We have worked with Cindy Lloyd both on our personal home and on professional projects. She is knowledgable and a professional in every way. Cindy can help clarify your vision and make the process a smooth one. I recommend Cindy for your interior decorating needs.”

“ReDefine Design works MAGIC ! I was thrilled with Sherri's ability to bring life to my existing antiques, as well as update my living room, with beautiful drapes, new sofa and fabulous artwork. Sherri has a great eye and extensive knowledge. She stayed within my budget and was fun to work with. I can't wait to do another room."”

“Our team, The Beran Group has used Tammy for the past 5 years. She has staged many of our listings. We also use her to consult on every listing. She gives our sellers suggestions on colors to paint, and overall staging ideas. Tammy is so friendly and knowledgeable. Her staging furniture and accessories are current and stylish. We consider her our friend and team member.”

“I asked Paola to provide a design for remodeling my bathroom with the goal of replacing the tub with a shower. My only request was that she retain my Mexican hand-painted ceramic sink. As the room is only 5 X 7, she had quite a challenge to update the room, giving an impression of more space, on a very small budget. Her design was perfect. All the materials to be used were low cost but did not look low cost. The finished product was well within my budget and looks great. I get many very positive reactions from family and friends. It is very impressive.”

“We have evaluated a few local designer's portfolios and chose Cheryl to help designing our master bath renovation. She was easy to work with, have a professional attitude and knowledge. She grasped right away what my husband and my collective style is and made great suggestions and kept us on track. She also found the contractor we ended up working with for the renovation. It was a lot of fun working on the master bath redesign, because we had chosen a great designer. We are super happy with the completed bath, it is a night and day transformation. It used to be a "blah" kind of room, now it's a "wow". I would recommend Cheryl to anyone. She is versatile and can work with different styles too.”

“I’ve hired RWebbInteriors to design 4 rooms in my home. The design work is like no other, guests cannot stop raving about the furniture, fabric selections and the beautiful design. To start, they are extremely responsive and take the time to understand me as a customer and the look I’d like for my home. On four separate occasions, my expectations have been exceeded.”

“Lee has helped me on 3 different occasions and I’m I just bought a new house and already looking forward to having her come in to help things be more cohesive and get my color schemes planned. She worked with me to get a feel for what I like then helped me put it together so it fit well. Also, I had an awkward shaped room and could only see one scenario for my furniture, but she made a layout that completely changed the feel of the room. I often get compliments on how people like the layout in the room.”

“Alison Giese Interiors designed a beautifully unique nursery for my baby boy. Alison took the time to really understand my likes and dislikes, while also making the effort to incorporate the nursery design as a compliment to the style of my home. The nursery is a one of a kind design, unlike any I've ever seen. Everything from the unique artwork to the Brazilian moccasins gave the personalized touch I was looking for in my nursery. I plan to hire Alison for future projects as I've been very pleased with her professionalism, promptness, and design ability.”

“My husband and I worked with Molly throughout the process of the construction of our house with Blue Ridge Custom Homes. First and foremost Molly is the sweetest, most genuine person we have ever hired. She is so open and honest, and has her clients best interest at heart. I can truly say we developed a friendship after just a few meetings. I thought I would be able to handle the selections process without the assistance of anyone else, especially since we would incur an extra cost to do so. This was honestly my main concern, as it seemed liked a pretty big expense for something that I THOUGHT would be so simple. However, after just a couple weeks I knew I wouldn't be able to handle the amount of stress that making these decisions put me under. My biggest issue with choosing selections without the assistance of Molly was going over budget. She has been doing this long enough to know the ballpark costs for a lot of things. Almost every time I made a selection, it would be too expensive and we would have to pick something else. It’s like ordering from a menu that doesn’t have prices and being told you have to pick something different over and over again. Once we hired her for her services, we basically sent her pictures from Pinterest or Google of things we liked and she found the real thing for us rather than us having to go back and reselect things time and time again to meet our budget. Molly truly has an eye for detail. Not only is this her specialty, but her passion. She has respected my selections as I made them, but never hesitated to jump in when she thought something BETTER could be done. As someone who doesn’t specialize in interior design, I was choosing selections room by room rather than looking at the theme of the entire house. Nothing was cohesive and Molly was able to make educated suggestions on what would look better. She was able to take what I loved about my selections, and found more cost effective ways by showing similar selections and achieving overall the same look. She doesn't make selections based on her own personal opinion, but rather her knowledge of interior design. Aside from helping us choose our selections, she was also able to look at our floor plan and make suggestions to redesign the plan to maximize our space. She drew a new plan for our master bath, powder room, and walk in closet to give us the most useable space possible. Overall, she wants your house to look the best it possibly can while staying within budget. I would highly recommend purchasing the full selections package. Building a house from scratch will be more stressful than you think and Molly will be able to help take care of all of your needs. She has been available for me by email before, during, and after typical works hours most of the time. I've had some freak out moments at 10pm and sent her an email and at first I was very surprised to actually hear back at such hours, but she is there for you to help you every step of the way.”
