I am the owner of Faithbridge Design Company. I have 13 years' experience in home interior/exterior design, interior/exterior home decorating, home staging and home remodeling, as well as, commercial design experience.
For Interior/Exterior Design, Decorating, Renovation and Remodeling, I offer an "hourly rate" or "cost/plus 10%" for my consultation services and project management services depending on the size and scope of the overall design project. For Home Staging Services, whether the client is looking to redesign their home or looking to professionally stage their home to put it on the market to sell- I provide a flat rate of $150 for 2 hours and then it drops to an hourly rate if more than 2 hours are needed. Please see the detail of my services below.
MY DESIGN PROJECT CONSULTATION SERVICES INCLUDE:
1. Free Initial "In Home or At Location" Design Consultation to discuss the design project for my client's home or commercial space. This also provides the client the opportunity to determine if my company and services would meet their needs and expectations. This is a "No Obligation" initial meeting.
2. After my services are employed- I will meet with the client to define and determine in more detail the client's design preferences in terms of the specifics for this project- layout, paint, flooring, furnishings, accessories and budget. I will also use this time to take measurements, pictures, etc to start to develop the clients file for the project.
3. I will provide all research of materials, services, furnishings and accessories that are components of the design plan.
4. I will develop the specif and detailed Design Plan. I will develop a detailed cost and materials report. I will also develop a client project presentation so that my client is offered a visual presentation of the design elements and the over all design plan.

We will also use this as an opportunity to make modifications to the design plan if needed. (please note- I meet with me client as many times as needed during this stage of the project to ensure complete satisfaction with the overall design plan)
6. After the overall Design Plan has been presented my client has the option of taking the Design Plan and implementing the plan themselves or they may choose to have me implement the Design Plan.
