However, with a toddler and a baby on the way, we knew it was unrealistic. Melissa was such a pleasure to work with. She was responsive and very accommodating to our schedule. I am surprised that she doesn't have more reviews as she seems to be quite popular through word of mouth. Our realtor said her other clients were using Melissa to stage their home as well. She also staged two other homes in our neighborhood. We did accept an offer way above our asking price and I believe Melissa's design skills contributed to that. I would definitely recommend her for your staging needs!

I found Alicia Paley Home Interiors by googling interiors designers in Ventura county…read more I'm so happy I found Alicia. I had quite a few choices as there are lots of designers with in our county, I couldn't be more pleased to have had the opportunity of working with Alicia. What draw me to choosing Alicia Paley amongst all others was her kitchen cover photo. I absolutely loved how she had redesigned this kitchen. It wasn't exactly what I was looking for but there was some similarities and I though this interior designer is exactly who I need. I had most of my vendors and suppliers, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted but I was in desperat need of some guidance. Im a little OCD and I need everything to be a little more uniform eg:"who wants to matche there floor to there counter tops, I do lol". With this said Alicia's guidance was much needed... From the moment Alicia walked in and we discussed the handles for my kitchen cabinets, I knew I had made the right decision by hiring her expertise. Alicia's insight on colour coordination to floor quality and everything in between was exceptional. She really helped put my mind at ease, as you all know renovations can become quite expensive and it is sometimes hard to colour coordinate everything or match everything. "Could you imagine spending all this money and not liking it in the end, I definitely couldn't afford taking that risk. " Alicia's recommendation for vendors also help me save money which is always wonderful. She also had more affordable suggestions for some of the Items that I truly wanted but really wouldn't have been able to afford in retail or custom stores. I choose Alicia's "work with me" package which was a tremendous help. I will definitely be asking for her services again once the renovations are complete to help me with furniture and decorating ideas. If you are looking for a wonderful interior designer/decorator I would strongly suggest hiring Alicia Paley Home interiors she truly is a gem . You won't regret it. Thank you so much Alicia

I could write pages about the excellent work done by Jo-Ann Capelaci and Deidre Taylor…read more I knew I needed major changes in my home with a vague idea of what I wanted - master bath, kitchen, lighting, flooring, paint and window treatments. Jo-Ann was one of many designers I reached out to, but she was the first to engage in a meaningful conversation. An appointment was set and Deidre came to my home for the initial consultation. She spent time getting to know me along with my likes and dislikes. The guidance and direction they provided was phenomenal. They both exude a calmness that helped make this all manageable. I would absolutely recommend Jo-Ann, Deidre and the rest of her associates - I could not be happier with the results. They exceeded my expectations and left me with a home I love.

This is why when I bought a house I thought to call her for some advice and guidance. She met me at the new home as well as at some stores to help me sort through some of the more important decisions like COLOR. The questions she asked me while in my new home made me think, and actually saved me money because she brought up a few things I would never have thought of and I ended up going in a different (better) direction. Her knowledge and experience, along with her kind and calm demeanor took a lot of my stress away as I was making these important decisions about my new (first) home! I look forward to working with her again when we decide to do more improvements.

I'll start with this: Hire Eileen Gould Design and Construction for all your remodeling projects…read more Years ago I saw Eileen win 2 episodes of the now long gone "Designer's Challenge" on HGTV and noted her contact information. She was local and most importantly a designer AND a contractor. I was pretty sure that would make the remodeling process pretty seamless. I was right. I, like everyone else, have heard the horror stories about contractors. No horror here! Just a professional and reliable experience. Friendly to boot! I told Eileen upfront, prior to hiring her, that I'm both very picky and want to be involved in the design. She pleasantly accepted all my feedback, changes, and sometimes issues. Eileen and her project manager, Kathy, were on top of things during my recent bathroom remodel. She and Kathy answered all of my many questions and were patient when I expressed some frustration. I will say that what made me the happiest was the communication as to when the sub-contractors would be arriving AND that either Eileen or Kathy would be there at the same time to ensure everything was on track. I was picky: pointing out some issues that were addressed immediately. Now that's good customer service. Krisie from Eileen's office was a delight to deal with and very professional. I'm so enjoying my newly remodeled bathroom and have been told it looks like a high end hotel bathroom and that it does! Thank you Eileen, Kathy, Krisie, and all the sub-contractors!

From day one until the end, Eileen was available, supportive, honest, patient, and fair. I had lots of questions along the way and Eileen was always very responsive, even on weekends. When I told my friends what we were looking to do to our home and that we hired a contractor, the reaction they had was that their experience with remodeling was a nightmare. Well, they didn't know Eileen. This was the no-stress express. She handled EVERYTHING. This was completely stress-free for us. She hired all of the people and they were all amazing craftsmen, super nice and always accommodating. If, on rare occasion, we weren't happy with something, they came back right away and fixed the problem to our specifications. There were a few times when I needed a fixture or an item and I didn't want to go to the store to pick it out myself, so I said to Eileen, you pick it out, I trust your taste. I was never disappointed! She has excellent taste. With respect to price, if not for the things WE decided to add along the way and a few things that needed to be addressed that either weren't up to code in our home, or something that needed to be fixed, our project came in very close to budget. No issues there at all. If you or know someone who is looking for a contractor to work on their home, look no further than Eileen Gould. You won't be sorry.
