Engaged Paula Ryan Designs to lead residential remodel on 20 year old home located in Tara Hills subdivision.

Scope of remodel included flooring (tile demolition and hardwood + tile installation), counter top replacement (formica to quartz), cabinet refresh, crown molding throughout entire home, lighting replacement throughout entire home, painting, and built-in cabinetry added in master bedroom closet.

Paula's extensive experience was critical in expediting material choices and budget decisions.  Additionally, her long established relationships with vendors and subcontractors made for transparent scheduling of work with little to no demand on us (homeowners).

Overall we highly recommend Paula Ryan Designs to anyone considering consulting/design/remodeling services.

It should be noted - we did experience quality control issues with vendor/subcontractor US Granite and Marble.  Paula managed related issues to a satisfactory outcome, but we cannot recommend their services going forward.  All other vendors/subcontractors were exception in quality and delivery of product/services.

Paula and her team helped me with the design and full project management of a remodel of our house on Lake Springfield.   Our house was constructed in 2003.  I was looking for updates to the entire main floor - kitchen, living area, 3 bedrooms and the guest bath.  We wanted to make changes so the  house would have  more of a “lake feel” and an even better fit for our family and guests. Paula listened to my preferences, shared mood boards then went to work narrowing down selections to make it easier for me to choose hardware, lighting, flooring etc.  Paula is easy to work with, maintaining close communication and responding quickly.  We had an aggressive schedule for the renovation.  Paula detailed the project plan and costs for us, worked with her team throughout the renovation to make up time on amy unexpected set-backs and finishing on time.  This was no small feat considering the scope of our remodel.  The end result was beautiful!   We love so many of the small touches (like the hardware and lighting) as well as the beautiful hard wood floors and new garage floor. The contractors that work with Paula are professional and experienced as well as extremely responsive and respectful.  After the walk through Paula and her team ticked off the list of our requests quickly.  She stands by her work.  I would highly recommend  her for your remodel needs!

We contacted Paula to help us refresh our home that we were listing for sale. She offered advice on some inexpensive changes that made a huge difference on the way our house was presented. We would definitely recommend Paula to our friends and family.

Five stars for Paula and her team! She made the redesign of our kitchen so easy! She gave us the guidance we needed throughout the process, has excellent taste and listened when we told her what we were looking for. She was easy to communicate with and kept the project moving along so we finished on schedule.  One of my favorite parts of the remodel is a light fixture that I never would have picked out for myself in a million years. Paula steered us in that direction and it really made the room come together. She really has a great eye! Would definitely recommend her to friends/family.

Paula Ryan Design and her team gave our kitchen a much-needed facelift (painted our 30+ year old oak cabinets, installed new granite countertops, new sink and faucet) and basically gutted and redid our primary bath. Paula was great to work with! She is so personable, knowledgeable, and talented, and she really listened to what I wanted. I had limited time to pick out tile and granite. When I met her at the two stores, she had already narrowed down choices and showed me items within our budget, which helped immensely.

The tradesmen who did the work were all so pleasant, quick, and thorough - even my big dogs liked them! There was very little mess and dust during the project, much less than I had anticipated, as they cleaned up regularly.

The bathroom is now a beautiful, relaxing space and the kitchen is so much brighter and happier! Everyone who has seen it comments on how much bigger it looks and what a good job the workers did.

I highly recommend Paula Ryan Design and her team (Brett, Larry, Joey, and Camryn) for remodeling. We will be using them again for our next projects.

We bought our home new in '93. Thirty years later it was past-due for some updating of the kitchen and living spaces. Paula and her team met our expectations and then some. She planned around our style preferences, offered suggestions for better bangs within our budget and brought in the multiple projects within the scheduled timeline. We love the new look of our new home Version 2.0. - Steve & Tonya Sandstrom

Thank you so very much for all of your patience with us as we remodeled our master bathroom and bedroom and "freshened up” the rest of the house! We felt lost trying to tackle such a large project, but having you by our side throughout made the process so much easier. Your ideas, attention to detail, and dedication to our home were greatly appreciated! You encouraged me to go for it and the bold wallpaper, modern backsplash and show-stopping bathroom fixture became my favorite pieces! We shared lots of laughs and had tons of fun transforming our home and we look forward to working with you in the future. Thank you also to Brett Dalby, Joey and Larry who understood our vision and masterfully crafted gorgeous rooms in our home! We are extremely grateful!

Thank you!
Jeff and Natalie Heubner

Amazing communication and eye for detail!!!

Paula is truly unique in her approach to helping her customers. I’m a new investor in the short-term rental space (Airbnb) and was excited about my first property until it came time to furnish and decorate it. I was completely lost, and after countless trips to home goods and orders on amazon that just didn’t fit or accentuate the features of the property, I decided to turn to professional help. Paula really excelled in the categories that I believe are paramount in her craft

- Communication- She was clear in what her intentions were for my property. I was ignorant of several factors; budget, theme, and amenities that I would want my guests to have in order to stand out in a very competitive market. She walked me through what items would not have a good ROI as well as items I should invest a little more in that would save me money in the long term. She truly understands what appeals to guests and does a fantastic job of highlighting them throughout each space in the house to ensure a great experience for everyone!

- Adaptability- I made this job more difficult by trying to do it myself; had I hired her from the beginning, I could have saved myself a lot of stress and probably spent less. A lesson learned the hard way. Regardless, she found creative ways to tie in items that I thought were a lost cause.  The value of interior design seems to be overlooked by most investors. I spent weeks and a lot of money trying to put rooms together only for them to look clustered or just uninspired. I was baffled at the speed at which she knew how to make things pop and come alive. Paula’s passion for her craft really shines through and you can tell she has done the work to be truly great at making spaces inviting, comfortable, and unique.

- Integrity- This is where Paula stands out from the rest! After reading reviews and Reddit threads on horror stories from Airbnb furnishing and interior design services, I was apprehensive, this was my first property and I wanted everything to be perfect. To hand someone the keys to a credit card and the success of your Airbnb can be an overwhelming event. Paula is a small business owner and understands that transparency, timelines, and budget matter! She finished my property promptly and was very cost-conscious of every purchase as though it was her own money.

When my listing went live I was instantly booked months out and have all 5-star reviews to date. Airbnb runs an algorithm that populates new and highly rated properties to the top of searches. Paula is the key to happy guests and a successful Airbnb. When the success of your property hinges on first impressions, can you afford to get it wrong? I almost made a grave mistake by trying to do it myself. Her creativity and business acumen are unparalleled. Do yourself a SOLID and hire PAULA!!
