“Working with Ilene from the blueprint stage, she referred me to a real estate professional who reviewed my plans and advised me to scale back the cost of the job to keep my finished home value more in line with the neighborhood. Subsequently, Ilene also provided me with advice on how to select a builder. As I move forward with this major renovation, Ilene is there to add support whenever I need her.”

“When we were in the beginning stages of planning our renovation, we were quite overwhelmed and not sure where to begin. Managing the project was proving to be more time consuming than we expected and we needed help. Ilene’s understanding and experience helped us navigate through a lot of questionable situations we weren’t expecting. Ilene’s approach is objective, and because of this, she was able to catch things that I didn’t have the foresight to anticipate. Ilene has the patience, design sense, and the calm nurturing nature I needed to support us through what could have been a very stressful renovation. I can not recommend her services enough! ”

“Ilene helped me on 10 separate visits as I navigated all the decisions required to renovate two bathrooms, finish a basement and purchase living and dining room furniture. She took me shopping to show me choices which enabled me to look at materials and finishes in person instead of online.”

“I wanted to get my thoughts together before I met with my interior designer to discuss my major renovation. Ilene was perfect! She helped me to think out how to approach my project, what questions to address and meticulously organized me through all, including clarification of the daunting amount of decisions I was about to be faced with. I felt so ready. Thank you, Ilene.”

“When I began considering my bathroom renovations, I didn’t know where to start. Ilene quickly helped me to break down all the information into organized steps so I could get moving. Talking with her helped me to determine my priorities so I could make choices that I felt good about.”

“Ilene brainstormed with me at the very early stages of my kitchen renovation process to help me discover my priorities regarding my storage space needs.”

“I invited Ilene to take a look at my floor plans before building had begun. Her careful eye identified a space that could be used as a sitting area/reading nook that otherwise would have gone unused. It created a whole new aspect to my second floor.”
