Builder Services

An innovative, professional decorator can save a home builder countless hours in time and energy. Here are three important reasons why YOU should insist that YOUR clients use a decorator!!!

• Have you ever lined up trades (an almost impossible feat in today's hot renovation/building market) for a job only to discover that you don't have the materials you need because your client hasn't been able to take the time to pick the finish? A good decorator will act as a liason between you and the client to make sure that finish choices are made in plenty of time for your trades to install them. And time is money.
   
• Have you ever spent several hours a week with clients going over paint colours/cabinet styles/granite samples when you really don't know or can't visualize what everything will look like together? A good decorator has the basic training and the natural ability to "see" colour/material combinations that most people can't. It can take a matter of minutes for a good decorator to "see" that something is not going to work, to tell the client why it's not going to work, and to suggest something that will. And time is money.
   
• Has your client ever asked you to find something that he or she saw on one of those "decorating programs" or in one of those "design magazines", but isn't exactly sure where or when, and then left you to spend hours trying to source whatever is was he or she liked? A good decorator has plenty of resources for goods and services, and keeps a close eye on the latest trends in decorating and design. She can save you hours of painful research. And time is money.
   

Working with Leslie saves me time and money. Many of my clients don't have the expertise or knowledge to make the best choices for their homes, and their indecision about what to do can really delay projects. By working with Leslie, both the clients and I have a clear idea about what products and finishes we need to get the work done to clients' satisfaction. Happy, stress free clients make me happy.
