Interior Designers & House Decorators in Santa Ana

“I hired Anna to help us decorate 4 rooms in our new home (living and adjacent dining room, den, loft). She was a great listener, and fit our needs perfectly. We didn't need a full-service decorator to buy our furniture for us. However, we did need help picking out pieces that would work well together, and stretched us beyond the bland all-neutral palette that was our "comfort zone." We have been very happy with the results, and would recommend her highly!”

“JoJo helped me select furniture for my formal living space. There were several things I wanted--a place for books and a desk, as well as seating. I was very happy with the way she helped me divide up the long room. She offered us 3 furniture options, and we picked the one that best matched our style. There was absolutely no pressure, but she did help us move the project forward and saved us time furniture shopping. If we'd tried to do it on our own, it would have taken ages, and we just don't have that kind of time, AND we would have ended up with furniture that would quickly look dated. The look she gave us was midcentury modern, and it goes great with our home. We are extremely happy with the final product and with her reasonable rates. There were no surprise expenses. We understood the costs at every step of the way, and JoJo kept everything within the budget and offered affordable options at every step.”

“Vision interiors is the most professional company I have ever worked with. Their designs are stunning to say the least. Their designs are personally tailored to your unique desin style. They are extremely creative and picked out pieces for my home that I never would have considered or been able to find on my own, but worked out perfectly. What's more, they are punctual and well-priced! I couldn't recommend this company more!”

Hiring an Interior Designer in Santa Ana, CA

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 Santa Ana, 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 Santa Ana contractor, carefully review the contract to ensure clear alignment on project expectations.

Key questions to ask potential contractors in Santa Ana, CA:

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?
