WHY HIRE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER?

Interior designers envision a project and bring it to fruition.  They are skilled at all phases of a project including the early stages of identifying a client’s needs and desires, developing a budget, figuring out a workable design, and putting it together with delivery & installation.

WHEN SHOULD I HIRE AN INTERIOR DESIGNER?

We suggest you hire an interior designer around the time of hiring an architect or builder in new construction or before you hire a general contractor when you’re considering a renovation.  VBID is well-versed in all aspects of the design process and can guide you on what to do and when.  We are a full-service interior design firm that not only specializes in new construction and renovation but also in furnishing and accessories.

ISN’T HIRING AN INTERIOR DESIGNER EXPENSIVE?

Not always. We cannot speak for how other design professionals charge, but we can guarantee that our pricing structure is very competitive.

WHAT TYPE OF PROJECTS DOES VBID TAKE ON?

We concentrate on residential projects, both renovating and designing. No project is too big or too small. Just give us a call to discuss it in more detail.

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE FIRST CONSULTATION?

During the on-site visit or the meeting at our office, we will discuss the scope of work for your project, your ideal timeframe, your project budget, and any additional design-related details you feel we should know.

HOW INVOLVED IN THE PROCESS DO I NEED TO BE?

That is totally up to you! Some clients like to collaborate and be very involved and some clients prefer to step away and let VBID make their decisions for them. Whatever makes you most comfortable is how we will work together.

WILL I BE WORKING ONE-ON-ONE WITH VICKI BERGELT?

Yes, Vicki Bergelt is ALWAYS involved in every project. She is completely hands-on in every decision made and is always available. You are never pushed off onto design assistants.

HOW LONG WILL OUR PROJECT TAKE?

Every project timeline is different depending on your design needs. We can discuss this more during our on-site meeting.

CAN VBID INTEGRATE SOME OF MY EXISTING FURNITURE/ACCESSORIES INTO OUR DESIGN?

Yes absolutely, we love a creative challenge. This is your home, and the special touches are what make your own personal style shine through.

CAN YOU REFER US TO A GOOD CONTRACTOR? ARCHITECT? PAINTER? FLOORING INSTALLERS? ETC?

Absolutely! Everything we propose for you we have people that can do the work.  We have long standing relationships with the professionals whom we trust. We’ve got high standards when it comes to keeping our clients happy, so we only work with the best in our industry.

IF NEEDED, WILL YOU WORK WITH MY EXISTING CONTRACTOR IF I DON’T WANT TO USE YOURS?

Of course! We’re always looking to build our professional network, however, when utilizing the resources that VBID provides there is less room for mistakes and lapses in communication.  This helps to provide a smooth and stress-free experience.

CAN VBID PROVIDE REFERENCES?

Yes! References are available upon request.
We think we are great, but we want you to hear it from others too!!
