first time owners have no idea how to do renovations...
Just moved into a duplex in park slope. We are first time owners and have never done any sort of renovation so we’re not even sure what kind of vendor we need. Ideally, we’d like one person/firm to handle everything from expanding a bathroom, creating custom built-ins, adding a few walls, doors, and storage areas…
Just moved into a duplex in park slope. We are first time owners and have never done any sort of renovation so we’re not even sure what kind of vendor we need. Ideally, we’d like one person/firm to handle everything from expanding a bathroom, creating custom built-ins, adding a few walls, doors, and storage areas to renovating our patio, landscaping the yard and helping us with all the interior decorating, furniture selection and layout. Finding someone who understands our style is important (comfortable, livable, moderately design-y and a bit quirky). Also, we have what we consider a decent budget but we have no point of reference for this so we don’t know if it actually is enough or excessive. Anyone have any suggestions? Can one company handle all this or do we need many different vendors? Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I am an interior designer working in Brooklyn, I would be happy to show you my portfolio and discuss your project. If you want an idea of my design sensebility you can look at my book “at peace at home” published by Chroncicle – here is the link, http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=br_ss_hs/104-3560777-2363127?platform=gurupa&url=index%3Dblended&keywords=at+peace+at+home&Go.x=9&Go.y=12&Go=Go.

hi, usually the interior designer and contractor work hand in hand. AllRenovations has two top knotch Interior Designers they work with and they may be able to do a package deal…not sure. I just used them a GC but saw samples of their work ID work on Great Jones St. in Manhattan and a beautiful victorian in Brooklyn.
Good Luck.
Allan
Thanks….
So, should I hire the interior designer first to do the layout and choose materials and then have them find a contractor?
for those who asked, my email is linked in my name below…
I agree with the comment above, go with a general contractor for the renovations. Try All Renovations, they just worked on my Windsor Terrace brownstone, currently building my deck. They are the very professional and customer friendly. You can review samples of work at their website…

As for landscapers I researched a few and found some links:

original poster – if you post your email, I can send you some past work I’ve done and talk about what you need.
you probably want to look for a general contractor. they can handle the bathroom, storage, walls, doors, etc.
i would imagine you’ll then need to find a separate landscaper and interior designer.
