Energy-Efficient Home Builders in Raleigh

“I've recommended Hilda to clients on several occasions. As an extremely active realtor, I've seen hundreds of staged homes and the first time I saw Hilda's work at a home she staged for another realtor I thought, this is great work I have to call whoever made this home look this fantastic. I contacted her, put her to work the first opportunity I had, and she delivered great work at a great price. As a result, several clients have hired her, and have recommended her to several colleagues who rave about her work. I couldn't recommend Hilda more highly for any home staging needs.”

“I hired Maj Interiors for major kitchen help. I had a tone of ideas and a huge wish list but didn’t know how to put it all together. Working with Alona was a fantastic experience; she took care of everything on my wish list and organized the whole project! She was always on top of things and made me feel comfortable throughout the renovation process. I got a fabulous kitchen that was completed on time and on budget that I absolutely love! I would recommend Maj Interiors in a heartbeat!”

“I needed a little help decorating my house and redecorating my room. I told her the colors and ideas I had and she brought them to life. She is amazing at what she does and will highly recommend her to anyone that asks for help. Her talent and creative mind is unbelievable.”

“We have had a great experience with Daniel with redoing our living room. He was very patient and helpful through the design process. We are loving our new pieces and are looking forward to completing the redesign of our living room. We would highly recommend Daniel and his expertise.”

“Jaimie helped me design and decorate my home. She transformed my house into a home. I would highly recommend her for anything from a small project such as redecorating a room or a total renovation.”

“E-consulting with Claire Bell has been a wonderful experience! I was browsing photos on houzz.com and came across some light fixtures that I thought were stunning. I asked the designer a question, and she promptly gave me an answer and offered her services to locate the sconces I wanted. I had never heard of e-consulting with a designer before, and I was a little lost when it came to the overall design of our new house, so I was relieved that Claire led me in the right direction. After showing Claire pictures of what I liked, she was able to narrow down my style preferences and keep me from straying off course. It was a huge relief to have some guidance. Here are the benefits I found from using Claire’s online consultation services: •Accessibility: I live in rural Nebraska—far from any contemporary/modern interior designers. Being connected electronically helped me find some up-to-date guidance where none was available. •No appointments necessary: not everyone can find time in “normal” business hours to meet with a designer. Our communication via email fit perfectly into my schedule, or lack thereof, since I work from home and also shuffle around two preschool-age kids from daycare, music, and school. •Honest opinion: Claire is not afraid to tell me if my ideas are straying from the main style objective, and she offers alternatives as well. She respects my tastes but lets me know if they are not necessarily tasteful. •Expert opinion: since I live far from an urban center, I have to shop online, but I’m often unable to tell a cheap knockoff from the real thing, and the amount of choices can be overwhelming. Since Claire has seen, in person, many of the pieces I was interested in, she was able to vouch for their looks, explain in better detail, and steer me away from lower-quality items. She was able to provide her own snapshots of fixtures in actual stores so that I could see them in a setting and in “real life.” •Flexibility: Claire is able to work within my budget, which was fairly tight, so she helped me maximize on looks, saving the more expensive pieces for places with the greatest impact. She let me decide which aspects of the home I needed help with the most, and that’s where she focused her attention. •Fairness: if I found a piece online for a lower price, Claire would honor it if she could or let me shop elsewhere if I found an amazing deal. •Positive attitude: cheerful, accommodating, and friendly, Claire was very fun to work with. While e-consulting doesn't allow an actual face-to-face exchange of ideas, although Claire does offer to Skype, it was the perfect service for me because of my location, busy schedule, and smaller budget. I was able to get the benefits of a high-end designer at a fraction of the cost and on my own time. I highly recommend Chic Abode Interiors, and I’m excited to continue collaborating with Claire Bell. If anyone has questions about my experience, I’d be happy to answer them.

“I was fortunate to have Eddie with me from the first meeting with our builder until the last accessory was placed and I couldn't be happier! Looking back I can't imagine sitting at our "design center" session without his guidance ... even with him there it seemed overwhelming but he kept me focused and knew my taste and in the end, the house looks amazing. Eddie was worth every penny!”

“I have worked with Kathleen Monroe on multiple residential projects, and have been very satisfied with the results. Her expertise has been instrumental in bringing out a high sense of quality and style. Her skill with color and materials selection is excellent. She is a delight to work with, very flexible, and well worth the cost. I highly recommend Kathleen Monroe Design.”

“I had the pleasure of working with Betsy when we both worked for corporate design-oriented furniture companies. I was actually her supervisor that time. Betsy developed strong client loyalties because not only did she do beautiful designs, she was also fun to work with and listened to her clients. Her designs are rooted in tradition and classic, yet with surprising twists. A daring fabric here, surpising furniture choice there, unusual drapery treatment, whatever it is, it makes it unique and special. Betsy is also a reliable expert in Softgoods, and can guide a client through custom window treatments painlessly. I highly recommend Betsy to anyone considering working with a Designer.”

“We have used this company twice. Last year, they helped us plan furnishing for our new screened-in porch, and we purchased our outdoor rug from them. About 18 years ago, they did all of our window treatments for our home. Paula Fullerton and her crew are top notch professionals. they come with many years of experience, know how to listen to their clients, and make excellent suggestions.”
