Customer Feedback:
Strokes Fine Painting
“I had never worked with a color consultant before, but Dar is truly an artist. She knows the emotional balance of colors. Sometimes we’d look at a color, discuss how I felt about it, and come up exactly what I wanted. The work is never about her, it’s about you and what you alone want. She really cares about trying to identify just what that is. She is not about pushing her taste on someone.”

Superior Builders & Remodelers
“He has a stick-to-it-iveness that I’ve never seen with another contractor. We had a persistent leak— several other firms gave up on us, but Dave got on his hands and knees and found the microscopic crack that was the source of the problem. I’m a huge fan.”

Customer Feedback:
Coles Interiors
“I know what I like but I don’t have the patience to go searching for it. They search for me and bring me a bunch of options to choose from, which is invaluable. I’ve used them off and on for 15 years. They are a great, family-owned company, and they stand by their work.”
