My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 5, 2014
“Bobbi is a true professional at her craft. She focuses on the clients desires/needs on many levels from basic color preferences, whole house concepts and themes to budgetary considerations. I always felt that she connected with my tastes and understood my vision, which was oftentimes blurry. Bobbi has a tremendous capacity to help a home owner narrow their focus to hit the mark...and is not only patient, but she is a polite, and caring person. I have had her assist me with several projects ranging from flooring to a banquette in my kitchen...she is fabulous!”

“Chad was great to work with! After 8 years with a large empty stairwell wall I was so excited to work with Chad to design a picture wall. He really listened to what I was looking for and made it a reality. I truly LOVE my picture wall and so many people love it when they walk in my house. I used to see this type of wall in magazines only and love that one is in my house telling my families story.”

  5. Implementation: Ordering, delivery coordination, and installation Throughout the process, expect regular communication, revisions based on your feedback, and project updates. A typical room design can take 8-12 weeks, while larger projects may extend several months depending on scope and construction needs.
Before your first meeting with a designer:
  • Set a realistic budget, including both design fees and furnishings

Being clear about your expectations, constraints, and preferences from the start helps create a smooth and successful design process.

Hiring an Interior Designer in Saint Charles, IL


If you're planning a large home improvement project, remodel, or new build, hiring a general contractor is a crucial decision. These professionals manage all aspects of construction projects to ensure timely completion and client satisfaction.

General contractors in Saint Charles, also known as project managers, oversee the entire construction or remodeling process. They collaborate with architects to review plans, arrange permits and inspections, and manage day-to-day operations. While they may handle some tasks like carpentry directly, they primarily coordinate specialized subcontractors for services such as electrical work, plumbing, and painting.


When selecting a general contractor, thoroughly evaluate their bids, timing, and pricing. Unusual variations in cost estimates may indicate premium charges or deliberate underbidding. Always check references, read reviews, and visit completed projects. Once you choose a Saint Charles contractor, carefully review the contract to ensure clear alignment on project expectations.


Key questions to ask potential contractors in Saint Charles, IL:


  • How long have you been in business and what similar projects have you completed?
  • Who will work on the project and what qualities do you seek in subcontractors?
  • Can you provide references and proof of licensing and insurance?
  • How do you handle pricing, including changes and budget overruns?
  • What is your project timeline and what will you need from me?
  • What type of contract do you use and what documentation will you provide?
  • What is your payment schedule and deposit requirement?
  • What warranties or guarantees do you offer on completed work?
  • How do you handle disputes or issues during construction?
  • What is the typical timeline for a project like mine?
