Elements in Design

Company report and stories of their remarkable people

Did you know you can get more value by hiring an interior designer who’s also a licensed builder? That’s what we found when we interviewed the owner of the San Mateo County firm Elments in Design, with a presence in Redwood City CA and Palm Desert CA. Owner Penny Chin serves the San Francisco Bay Area and Riverside County as an interior designer, and a general contractor with thorough quality-control, and designs projects of all scopes and complexities, while staying within your budget.  And readers of this Report are getting $150 off their planning session by calling her now and saying they saw it here. Elements in Design: Full Quality Control From Design Through Implementation When you hire separate designers and contractors to complete your project, you can end up with a disjointed look that doesn’t completely match your expectations or the designer’s plans. But that’s not a problem with Elements in Design in Redwood City CA. Interior designer Penny Chin explains, "By hiring us, clients get a one-stop-shopping experience. I can see the project through from the first drawings to the final installation. Clients only have to deal with one person, me, and that means there’s a no-stress, seamless transition from designing to building. I translate the client’s wishes in terms our tradespeople understand, so everything gets done the way it’s planned and the work turns out beautifully." In fact, Penny Chin is known for her skill in coordinating...

She explained to us that hiring the right interior designer can actually save you money on your remodel and new building project.  (And readers of this Report can get a free consultation by calling her now and mentioning they saw it here.) Your Choice of Estimates from Artistic Designs for Living You probably want to know exactly what you’ll spend before your project begins. Artistic Designs for Living lets you do exactly that. Better yet, they actually let you pick among different options of estimates. Tineke Triggs shares, "We believe in giving our clients high, medium and low estimates right at the beginning, so they are in control of their budget from the start." Clients with a fixed budget or larger projects can even specify the exact number of hours Tineke Triggs and her staff spend on the project. She explains, "For example, if a client wants us to spend 10 hours on creating a new design for them, we’ll limit our time to those 10 hours and give them regular updates as the project progresses so they know where we’re at during the process. This is especially valuable for clients on a budget." Some other designers have no business background and can’t appreciate the...
